The Needle Drop is a web and radio based review show hosted by Anthony Fantano with various cameos by his bizarre roommate Cal Chuchesta. The music he reviews is usually more of indie and underground fare with the occasional bigger name slipping in either because of popular demand or relatively high critical acclaim. The show is highly popular on 4chan's music board, partially due to the fact Anthony also is a [[Image Boards|/mu/tant]]▼

▲* [[Caustic Critic]]: AvertedHe as heusually tends to be quite calm and collected even with music he dislikes, managing to point out its strengths as well as its flaws. On reviews for music below a 4 rating, however, he goes ''hard'' on his criticism, even insulting some aspects of the music or the artist. This can be seen in his "NOT GOOD" reviews.

* [[Overly Long Gag]]:
* [[Overly Long Gag]]:* His review of [[Limp Bizkit|]]'s ''Gold Cobra'']] basically consists of Anthony eating food.
