Anthony Fantano, Everyone

I mentioned him briefly in my last blog, but I'd like to introduce everyone (especially Matt Luongo and Keving Counterman, fellow music aficionados) to one of my favorite people on the Internet, Anthony Fantano (alternatively, go here). He is my personal top authority on music, not to mention he's just incredibly adorable. Now, that's not to say I view his word as Gospel and change my opinion to fit his, but I generally find his opinions to be incredibly well-informed and his explanations of those opinions to be very eloquent.
I linked this one before, but I just want to embed my personal favorite video of his right here:
Hopefully after watching this, you'll understand why I enjoy this man's opinions so much. He's eloquent, incredibly intelligent, and amazingly open-minded. If you scroll through his reviews, he reviews and enjoys every genre of music from death metal to rap to soft rock. He's also adorable and incredibly funny. You don't see it here, but in many of his other videos his alter-ego Cal Chuchesta makes an appearance in what is always a good time.
If you're at all interested in music, I would highly recommend looking into him in greater depth. Some of my favorite albums of all time from "History Will Absolve Me" by Billy Woods, a hard-core, underground rapper to "BBNG2" by BADBADNOTGOOD, an intense jazz-rock band. I'm currently making my way through his top 50 albums of 2012, and I have yet to find one I don't enjoy.

    1. I KNOW
      I almost went to that concert, but it was too far away...

      I wish I could live Anthony's life.
