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"

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
