Iām so jealous. The one and only time I ever asked for some music from my parents for a birthday present my dad made such a song and dance about it.
āI went into Our Price and I asked this man behind the counter if they had this tape you wanted by the ālemon headsā and I told him that it was a stupid name and youād probably just made it up because why on earth would any sane person name their band the ālemon headsā? But he told me that actually you were right and they did exist and he sold me the tape and didnāt seem at all shocked at how ridiculous the name was!ā
Yeah thanks dad.

Dad: Queen, ZZ Top, Rolling Stones
Their record collection (before they separated, I think my mum has it all now) also featured shitloads of Genesis, Sabbath, Floyd, the Bermuda Triangle Tomita record (one of my childhood faves that I completely forgot about and thought Iād ādiscoveredā independently about 20 years later), and Sky, yet they maintain they were not stoners. Haha, yeah, okay guys.
