Music is what brought me here, but I do have other interests. I like scented candles, ill-advised, low budget movies that shouldn't even be close to good, but are great, and cats.

I got all 12.

I got four of them just by reading the lyrics without listening.

9.5 – knew the act for Q9 but not the track title.

Never heard of the artist for Q7 and for Q12 I’ve only ever heard of through comments here.

On that basis I’m scoring myself 95%. Seems fair to me. 😀
