was strictly a little hip hop d*** head until my grade 10 English teacher (who was very young early 20s) told me how good the new White Stripes album was
and the Stripes traditionalism was a big part of the reason I dove into music history
He probably taught me other stuff too but that was the most pivotal lol
Everybody needs a cool English teacher that gets them out of their shells and expressing themselves
Part of the reason I got into it was mine were so bad in college I wanted to take their jobs
i was literally working on stuff until 2 pm today so I make deadlines to force myself to start the rollout before it gets out of hand

i respect the process but ive come to the conclusion that hearing later albums almost always helps me with the earlier ones
