Anthony Fantano, host of WNPR's The Neele Drop, says 2009 promises to be a great year for independent music.  He's got his eye on new artists and new albums, but says that part of what makes this year so exciting are the new ways people can access and listen to music.   Today on Where We Live, Anthony introduces us to the new work of five artists: 

• Timber Timbre
• M Ward
• Vetiver
• Andrew Bird
• Pains of Being Pure at Heart 

You can listen to Anthony every week on The Needle Drop right here on WNPR, 10 pm Saturdays, and check out his blog.
