Every few months, "the Internet's busiest music nerd" joins us to share some of his favorite new tracks. Anthony Fantano is the man behind The Needle Drop.

Mr. Fantano was recently name-dropped by David Byrne...making him even more of a rock star in our eyes. We're not the only ones who love Fantano's work too. Check out the speed drawing that was done by a TND fan in the video above.

You won't agree with every review but Fantano has a way of describing an album better than anyone. Today on Where We Live, he brought along the following tracks:

Lone - "The Animal Pattern"

Foxygen - "Make It Known"

Zammuto - "Yay"

Spiritualized - "Hey Jane"

Dr. John - "Locked Down"

The independent journalism and non-commercial programming you rely on every day is in danger.

If you’re reading this, you believe in trusted journalism and in learning without paywalls. You value access to educational content kids love and enriching cultural programming.

Now all of that is at risk.

Federal funding for public media is under threat and if it goes, the impact to our communities will be devastating.

Together, we can defend it. It’s time to protect what matters.

Your voice has protected public media before. Now, it’s needed again. Learn how you can protect the news and programming you depend on.
