This week one of our favorite independent labels released a really great DVD. Asthmatic Kitty dropped Encyclopedia Asthmatica yesterday and I have some copies to give away here on ENS this week. The DVDs are also signed by the Bents (the artists who designed the menus and packaging, see image above).

The DVD features some great videos from Asthmatic Kitty artists, including Sufjan Stevens, My Brightest Diamond, Rafter, & more. The full tracklisting after the jump. And more information about the DVD at AK as well.

Now, how to win one of these bad boys. I need a picture of you reading, thats right, a picture of you reading an encyclopedia in the theme of Encyclopedia Asthmatica. You can leave it in the comments with a link to the photo or email it to me, joe at eachnotesecure dot com. Either way, have fun with this and good luck in the contest! I will be picking a winner next Friday, March 14th.

Check out this very cool trailer for the DVD…..
