Isn't this photo AWESOME? It's my Mum and Dad in 1978, they were soooo young! Like 17 or 18! I think it's hilarious!! Love the denim on denim and the retro wallpaper + cupboards! Mum sent it to me when I asked for a photo to go with this playlist (below!), inspired by the records Mum and Dad used to play all the time. Me and Hayley never liked their music and Dad would always be like, "Oh come on! You'll like this one...." and we would be like "Nooo....turn it offf....put our music on..." (Tool and Metallica!!! Hahaaa) Though I did used to borrow one of Dad's Led Zeppelin albums and compare the Tool cover of No Quarter to the original over and over a few times... :p
I know Mum and Dad are gunna read this and laugh and say Told You So! So I'll write it quick and go eat some humble pie......Soooo I-guess-your-music-was-actually-pretty-cool-and-I-kinda-really-want-your-record-collection-so-please-keep-them-safe-and-don't-give-them-away-and-I'm-sorry-we-called-it-crappy-music-and-here-you-go-now-you-can-listen-to-your-music-on-the-computer....!! (Skype me and I'll teach you how! :p)
The first two tracks are the only two songs I remember from a mix tape Dad had from who knows when, and me and Hayley used to listen to it on our tape player!
The rest of the songs span over 20 years and are ones that Mum and Dad would blast on the record player or sing around the house. I'm interested to see if any of them are way off left field though! Like, umm Zoe, I hate that song, why is it on there....
Let me know if you listen to it! :)
We used to have a video of me and Hayley in our walkers dancing to Three Little Birds.... wonder if we still have it? Psstt... Hayley sent me some scans of twin-baby-us photos, I'm kindof keen to share some... yeah or nah?
