I sat down with Anthony Fantano (The Needle Drop) for one of
the most honest conversations about what it actually means to
be an internet music critic in 2026…the perks, the pressure,
and the parts nobody talks about.

We get into everything: how algorithms have reshaped the way
critics make decisions, whether paid promotions have poisoned
music journalism, and what happens when artists push back.
Hard.

Plus: the Vince Staples story. The Charlie Puth DMs. Anthony’s
revised Addison Rae opinions. Sombr mess. What Charli XCX’s
rock album might sound like. Why Taylor Swift’s next move is
important, and whether anyone can still be a true
gatekeeper in the age of TikTok.

If you've ever wondered whether your favorite music reviewer is
actually being honest with you, this is the conversation.
