Very cool. I did not know that.

My parents were probably way more permissive and generous than they should have been. I had an allowance of $100 a week when I was 12 and I spent that mostly on albums. I hung out at a record shop which was owned by Metric's Emily Haines older brother Tim who had a great inventory of things you would only generally find in obscure large town locations.

I am a bit obsessive about collecting things I like.
