I highly recommend the "Antifolk Vol 1" album. It's a great intro to the scene, and has some absolute doozies on it.

Is this the same thing as the "Anticomp Folkilation"?

It's a Spinal Tap for the noughties.

@acb, no. Similar but different. The Antifolk comp came first I think. Note that it's website: http://www.antifolkonline.com/AntifolkVol1.html is decidedly anti-web.
