I am a birthday party DJ. I suck. I hope there aren't any clowns at the party.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

Your final score was 138/180

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.

Wow I suck!

turns out I missed 7...

[Pixiessp]

HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT FEMA KUTI's FROM GODDAMN NIGERIA...

[Pixiessp]

I was going to put Nigeria but opted for South Africa. If I had gone with my instinct i would have been a mixtape master or whatever the next jump was.
scarred for life i am.

[fiyahhh!]

I missed the Beethoven, Bjork, Monterey Pop & minimalist composer questions. Got the rest right tho'.

HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT FEMA KUTI's FROM GODDAMN NIGERIA...

I almost put Egypt because one of his bands was the Egypt 80, but then I remembered his parents were all up in the Nigerian political scene... dude was the godfather of afrobeat. I saw his son Femi Kuti at the Fillmore a while back and it was non-stop energy from start to finish.

It was Feli Kuti, and even people who don't know his music know that because, in addition to being one of the creators of Afrobeat, he was also an incredibly important political figure during the Nigerian Junta.

[bug on your lip]

i missed 12

i don't know that much about minimilist composers or 70s punk

[Cheddar's Cousin]

I am a birthday party DJ. I suck. I hope there aren't any clowns at the party.

Since I started the thread I should probably admit to not only being a "Birthday Party DJ," but a backup clown as well!

[nahuatldream]

Mix-Tape Master (109-144 points)

Same here.

[Vic Viper]

117, Mix-Tape Master.

[TomAz]

It was Feli Kuti, and even people who don't know his music know that because, in addition to being one of the creators of Afrobeat, he was also an incredibly important political figure during the Nigerian Junta.

I got that one wrong too. I don't recall him sending me an email asking me to deposite $6 million for him.

[Sushov23]

I missed 5, some of those I'm just what the fuck?

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

I missed the Coldplay one...I thought for sure it wasn't the phone book one because it was such a easy answer....

[amyzzz]

I didn't get far, and I gave up. Which is pretty much what I always do.

[artisticcreator]

Well at least I can DJ! Some hard questions. To bad it's not an open web test. That and a better short term memory would have helped!

[slurpee]

I was checking out the Prefix Music/Media site for more info on the new album Daft Punk is working on
