Your final score was 129/180

Mix-Tape Master (109-144 points)
You are a music evangelist: the person in your network of friends who always has the coolest new song, the one whose iPod gets picked to DJ every party. You understand the art of the segue, how the key to the best mix-tape isn't just the songs you pick, but how they interlock with each other. You also know who the up-and-coming acts are and are quick to recognise where their influences lie and whether they will make it big. You work hard at the pursuit of this knowledge, scouring music blogs, magazines and record stores. Most importantly, you are generous with your passion – and your friends should be very, very grateful. Still, it’s always good to get new inspiration for your latest mix.

Actually found that description pretty accurate!

Musical Magician (145-180 points)
We doff our collective hat to your prodigious mind. You are a musical czar, with a profound knowledge of every genre and era. You met your current flame at a concert and, come to think of it, most of your friends too. You're always looking for the chance to pass on recommendations, knowing that if any of your disciples buy your suggestion it will change their lives the same way it has yours. Your love of music is genuine and deep and you match that passion with intellect. Because of that – let's face it – you're also the person that some folks love to hate. But who cares? Let's see their record collection! At this point, one can only take advantage of new ways to discover music and brush up on any obscure genres one might have missed.

But no way is Terry Riley a fucking minimalist

twats

 

[girasol]

erm, question 7 is a bit pointless...

7. Which of these bands is not from the place for which they were named?
Chicago
Boston
The New York Dolls
Mouse on Mars

so far I don't know the answer to any of them apart from 7

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Also 111.

Can't say I'm too bothered by not getting the Coldplay question though, or Ryan Adams' real name.

Don't care

Stuff like Poppy Nogood is repetitive, you could even call it systems music, but it's not minimalist.

 

[Madusa]

Geeks!!

Music is more about feeling than facts and figures!

You really do take the cake, don't you?

 

[El Jefe]

You really do take the cake, don't you?

Damn right

I got into a row at my Our Price interview because part of the interview was filing a lot of CDs in the right genre. I put Peggy Lee into jazz, they said it should be in easy listening.

I lost my temper

 

[Fruitloop]

Riley certainly was a minimalist in the 60s. String Quartet, 'In C' etc.

In C is brilliant IMO.

 

[Looby]

87/180. I really don't know why I bothered.

Birthday Party DJ (73-108 points)
You are a rabid consumer of music. You get a rush every time you hear something new but remain faithful to those artists you love. Your music collection represents who you are and what you care about and your home may even bear the tell-tale signs of your affections – posters, old band t-shirts and the odd music biography. But you aren't a completist, you know what you like and make sure you have it. Simple as that. To expand your repertoire, perhaps there are some genres that you'd benefit from giving a little more attention to – perhaps now is the time to hear something new or get hold of that missing album from your collection.

Can tell you're not a muso

 

[girasol]

Sounds about right actually

But don't fucking try and make me buy albums I don't want just to complete my 'collection' Bollocks to that, my collection is small but perfectly formed

not so shabby.

 

[Madusa]

I enjoy music, but Im not a geek about it.

 

[Looby]

Yeah, it was fairly accurate for me too.

Affirmative, geeks do rule, but only in things that matter! Musical 'facts' dont count. We feel the music, dammit!
