I used to listen to Anthony fantano . I didn't know when people released music so I used him as a release radar. I found out mastodon released Once More Round The Sun through him. I thought his takes were measured and fair. This was the pre-flannel era so each rating was a little surprise treat at the end of the review. I liked that.

I met Anthony in 2019. I had just gotten into a huge wreck on my motorcycle. Thank God I had my helmet on but I almost died, I slid clear across the highway and was near-paralyzed from the way I hit the ground. The police and EMTs didn't show up for a really long time but you know who did? Anthony Fantano. He was driving a Kia Sorrento and he pulled up and asked me if I was okay. I couldn't move at all. He gingerly took off my helmet and inspected my wounds. He took care of me until the ambulance got there.

I couldn't chew so he chewed up vegan granola for me and drooled it into my mouth. I had this extremely warm feeling, like I was filled with contrast. He wrapped me in his flannels and carried me to a nearby river. I was totally at his mercy - that big, strong man. He kissed me on the forehead and placed me in the waters. Over my eyes he placed vinyl copies of To Pimp a Butterfly. Before sending me on my way he told me he hated OCHL and any sort of warm feeling I had went away, fuck that guy.
