Anti Blog

Not to accuse you of inattention, but have you checked out the left side of this blog lately? You should because it contains our 08/09 ANTI- Sampler, which is a look back at a stellar 2008 and offers hints of our equally fabulous 2009 with brand-new tracks from N.A.S.A, Ramblin Jack Elliott and William Elliott Whitmore. We have released it in conjunction with a promotion that we are doing with independent retailers through the rest of the year.  At dozens of participating stores across the country, we have 10 new titles on sale for less than $10 (including Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, Jolie Holland, Man Man, Michael Franti & Spearhead and others). If you buy one of those 10 releases, you get a copy of the ANTI- Sampler for free. Or you can skip all that and just download it directly from here, but then what would you be doing for our sorry-ass economy?
