OUR FAVORITE THINGS GRATUITOUS DVD COMPILATION IS FINALLY AVAILABLE!
After seven years of work, Negativland's OUR FAVORITE THINGS DVD compilation is finally available, and a whopper of a package it is. A lavish compendium of Negativland's past-and-current video history, as rendered with a host of brilliant video artists from around the globe. Plus - it's packaged with a CD which isn't by Negativland at all: 180 D'Gs TO THE FUTURE by the Detroit a capella/doo-wop group, The 180-Gs. See here for more details and ordering information
LONG OUT-OF-PRINT THIRD ALBUM RE-ISSUED...
WITH BONUS DVD!
A BIG 10-8 PLACE is considered a favorite by many Negafans, and us, too. And after years of being out of print, we've reissued it complete with a bonus DVD: our 1989 16-minute long-form video, NO OTHER POSSIBILITY, previously only available on VHS. See over here for full details and ordering information.
... AND OUR FIRST-EVER OFFICIAL LIVE ALBUM!
Our brand-new live double-CD set, recorded at the San Francisco and LA "It's All In Your Head FM" shows in 2005, is for sale over at Negativmailorderland... it's our first official live album ever, and a rather timely release of this all-new material. No greatest hits here - this is a completely new work. This disc is not being released through stores - mailorder and our live shows only!
OLD NEWS IS GOOD NEWS
NEW RELEASE FROM NEGATIVLAND!
NO BUSINESS is in business! Go HERE to order advance copies direct from Negativmailorderland.
2005 marks the 25th Anniversary of the release of Negativland's first album, and we've decided to stick our collective head deep into the copyrighted sand with this new release, a CD of all-new tracks, a 56-page book on the "cultural public domain", and... A VERY SPECIAL RUBBER NOVELTY DEVICE! NO BUSINESS is the first 100%-sampled Negativland album, ever. That's right, no original sounds. It's an all-plundered stew of file sharing, nose cream and one very insistent piece of pie.
NEGATIVLAND PLUNGES INTO THE ART WORLD...
Watch this space for details on our traveling mixed-media art show, NEGATIVLANDLAND...
NEW RELEASE FROM NEGATIVLAND OF AN OLD RELEASE FROM NEGATIVLAND HELTER STUPID
(Seeland 024CD)
Seeland has at last reissued one of the key albums of our back catalog, 1989's HELTER STUPID. This is the record which documented our absurd ax-murder hoax, a little prank involving real-life tragedy and wholly unsubstantiated "facts", on side one, and side two contains everything you once needed to know about radio’s selling of the past in a future which hadn’t happened yet, but is now old news.
Upon its release, Negativland raised the bar on themselves by setting some provocative new standards for complex audio-collage work, and we've redesigned the package from scratch for the CD format with Dan Lynch.

NEW RELEASE FROM NEGATIVLAND DEATHSENTENCES OF THE POLISHED AND STRUCTURALLY WEAK
(Seeland 023CD) 64-Page Book/CD
Negativland's newest conceptual project is a very different move into a very different "found art" direction than the anti-corporate, anti-copyright creations they're most known for. This release charts new territory for Negativland in many ways.
DEATHSENTENCES OF THE POLISHED AND STRUCTURALLY WEAK is a 6 by 12 inch 64-page full-color book which comes with a 45-minute CD soundtrack. Packaged inside of a large die-cut automotive courtesy envelope, this book is a poignant, voyeuristic, disturbing, and occasionally funny glimpse into lives which may be very different from your own...or eerily similar. The CD is a meticulously-layered, ever-shifting electro-acoustic soundscape created to accompany the book. No bass lines, no melody, no dialogue, no singing, no beat .
You can hear an audio introduction to the book as heard on NPR's This American Life by clicking here.
Go to Negativmailorderland for ordering information.

GOD NOSE!
Negativland is unbelievably proud to host a new page with freemusic downloads from an incredibly famous but legally unnamable superstar of American music. After multiple appearances over the years on Negativland's radio show, Over The Edge, this master of multiple rebirths and reclusive bard of earth shaking American anthems stretching back to the 60s has formed a new band for a new century called God Nose, and we have the exclusive FreeNet rights to the first musical results right here. Will mainstream alternative music finally make a comeback? Can fame popularize anything? Find out here.
EXCLUSIVE "WEATHERMAN SLIDESHOW" NOW VISIBLE!
Continuing in Negativland's Family Slideshow tradition, we now present a special new presentation by David Wills, a.k.a. The Weatherman, in our Slideshow section. Enjoy!
NEGATIVMAILORDERLAND BACK TO CONTRA COSTA COUNTY!
Negativmailorderland has returned to our old stomping grounds of CoCo County after a prolonged absence!
Jake, who fills all our orders, couldn't stay away from his favorite East and West CoCo eateries such as Fatapples and The Buttercup Grill... plus, they're rebuilding the El Cerrito Plaza Shopping Center and they're sure to raze his old haunts (such as the Mel-O-Dee bar and the Junket Delicatessen) to make way for three Starbucks locations. And he just can't let that happen.
So please send all snail mail orders to:
Negativmailorderland
P.O. Box 1154
El Cerrito, CA 94530-1154 USA
ELECTRO MOTIVE RECORDS/QUALIPY(tm) RECORD LABEL PARTNERS WITH SEELAND FOR FUTURE CO-RELEASES
Seeland has joined forces with the long-running micro-label Electro Motive Records, of which Negativland's Peter Conheim has been a partner for 10 years, in a co-distribution pact. This means that EMR releases (and those of its Qualipy(tm) offshoot label) are available immediately through Negativmailorderland, and, in future, will be carried though our distribution channels to record stores near you!
Electro Motive Records releases have ranged over the decade from the nasty Christian-talk-show-prank classic,Savage Vigilance for a Rug-Free America, to the frenetically off-kilter pop of Oakland's Fibulator and Little My and the Wagnerian guitarisms of O-Type/MX-80 Sound. A great split 7" single by Mono Pause and Aavikko is available now.
