Thank you, thank you, want2know! Good questions, and these occasional punk-theme thingies help me feel I’m not the only one left standing! (standing a little crooked maybe – but standing)

[Mahaloth]

I’m on a real streak of about 10-14th place, due mostly to my ignorance of recent topics.

Again, I find I do best when I’m not an expert, since it forces me to use obvious choices.

[want2know]

@brujaja

Thank you, thank you, want2know! Good questions, and these occasional punk-theme thingies help me feel I’m not the only one left standing! (standing a little crooked maybe – but standing)

Happy to do it, brujaja, for all the “First-Wavers” out there (shameless plug for my new favorite satellite-radio channel)!

And congrats for kicking my bloody arse! Oi!

(UB40? WTF was I thinking?)

[NDP]

@Rebo

And the winner is ~drumroll~ NDP!! Woo-hoo! Great job! ::flings confetti:: NDP got 8/10 right. Yay! Perfect was 470.01.

Thank you. Thank you. Although I must admit my knowledge of this area is probably at best only average for someone in my age group. The “2-Tone” question in particular gave me trouble until I did some Googling. I would’ve had less trouble if the term “ska-oriented group” was used instead.

[brujaja]

Wow – 2nd! I think that’s the best I’ve ever done. I choose to see this as indicative of a larger trend in my life. Nobody argue.

[clomps off humming “Working for the Clampdown”]

[Sigmagirl]

I suck. But I stuck up for my home town.

[bink]

Wow, that’s my first time in single digits!
