I've never heard of Anthony Fantano but nothing I read here entices me to find out more. Do any of you follow him? Do people like the format of video music reviews?

The little I’ve heard from him hasn’t interested me in the least, but to each his own.

I think if I was a music writer I would be examining other career choices. Personally, I dislike watching stuff I used to read. I'm not huge on the streaming concerts either. Old school.

he's a bit of a nerd but with a decent grasp of what he's covering. i've definitely watched some of his reviews but not any lately. good for him for figuring a way to make money via that racket.

I wish Byron Coley would do a video channel. i'd totally subscribe to that.
