We get some end-of-the-year music recommendations from Anthony Fantano. He’s the man behind The Needle Drop, which is a blog, YouTube channel and radio show that can be heard on WNPR. He is the “internet’s busiest music nerd.”

We have a bonus song included in the web version of this segment. Here is a list of all the songs Anthony and John discuss for the latest edition of the Where We Live/The Needle Drop mashup.

Andrew Jackson Jihad - “Zombie by the Cranberries”
BADBADNOTGOOD - “The World is Yours/Brooklyn Zoo”
Nicolas Jaar - “Why Didn’t You Save Me”
St. Vincent - “Cruel”
*The Log.OS - “Cancerous”
Veronica Falls - “The Fountain”
