The Exquisite Death of NK

I'm an 8th grade math teacher and there is music playing in my classroom always.  The only two exceptions are if they kids are taking a quiz or if I'm in front of the class teaching (which isn't often, my kids work in groups most of the time).
The students really like it, even though they say I listen to weird and/or old music.  Its not often that I'll play stuff they know.  But I will have students ask for suggestions for bands and show me their music (which is usually awful... but I always give it a chance).  [side note: I once had a student suggest a song and I looked it up on YouTube while the kids were working.  The kid told me there were no cuss words, but I (stupidly) played a live version.  Which promptly said: "San Diego, how the fuck are you mother fuckers?!?"  It was embarrassing, but hilarious.]
Anyways, its cool that I get to listen to music all day long and turn kids on to what I consider to be good bands.  Also, I show students pictures of my vinyl and they freak out.  Some have literally never seen a record before. 

I listen to two or three LPs during the weekdays. Usually after I get home from work, the kids and I will listen, dance, and sing for a while. Then we'll pick a record or two to listen to while we make and eat dinner.
On the weekends, I'll listen to five or six LPs throughout the day.
At work (I'm a teacher) I'm playing in my classroom all day long.
I also listen to tons of podcasts on my phone while driving, running, or biking.

How about when its a tot in your fries?  That's pretty amazing.
