Chris GethardFor a few years all I listened to was The Smiths, Things Fall Apart by The Roots, Love Is Dead by The Mr. T Experience, Nostalgic for Nothing by J Church, and the first Servotron album No Room for Humans.

I just obsessed over things and those albums happened to be in that rotation of me obsessing over things.

It is 100 percent in my case undeniable that being medicated helped my creativity.
