The Needle Drop is a blog/vlog created and run by Anthony Fantano (born October 28, 1985), self-described as "the Internet's Busiest Music Nerd." He examines "rock, pop, electronic and experimental music of the independent persuasion," via video and audio reviews. Despite the blog's tagline, metal and hip hop have also been covered extensively along with certain major label artists.
The blog started in the fall of 2007, with video reviews beginning in February 2009. The blog reviews albums, individual songs in a segment called "Track Reviews" (stylized as "TRKRVWZ"), and occasionally a "Question of the Week" or list-based video.
His reviews often contain brief skits, usually involving his musically oblivious roommate, Cal Chuchesta, played by Fantano himself. Occasionally, Fantano will allow Chuchesta to "review" an album, often as a gift to his fans.
