Those of you who listen regularly know that one of my favorite bands is Anathema. Well, they need our help. This incredibly talented band finds themselves with a new album to record, but no recording contract. They've put the brand new song "Everything" (heard on today's show) up on their website for free download, only they ask that you please leave a donation to help them with the cost of getting the new album finished and released. So RUN on over to http://anathema.ws and do your part to help out this great band.
