1. Would you say that you are a music snob at all?

Yeah a bit. Not as bad as some guys, but there are some things people say that are music related that I just look down on and feel the need to argue when it doesn't matter really.

2. Thoughts on Christmas? Some people love it, some people hate it.

It is a time to spend with family, to rest and to enjoy food. So it gets the thumbs up from me.

3. Do you ever change your haircut?

No.

4. Do you like going to the cinema?

I have no problem with this but if I want to see a film I will just torrent it.

5. Any hobbies that aren't related to music?

Football, cooking if that counts, a few years back I was into perfume (honest) quite a lot but I've lost the enthusiasm for that a bit now.

6. Name a thing you really, really suck at.

The obvious one that already got posted is instruments, I can't play one to a decent level (decent by bedroom musician standards I mean). I used to 'spit bars' though, and was actually pretty good.

I like bike riding, and I also collect vhs tapes of 70s, 80s, and 90s anime.

Downloaded that Starship Troopers OVA from the late 80s but haven't watched it yet. You know it or know if it's good?

You collected perfume flasks? Did it also involve caring about the fragrances somehow, or was it about the bottles/designs... or was it another angle?

Yeah that was the main thing for me, I collected them in general. Worst thing I ever smelled was this, which literally smells like body odour - Déclaration by Cartier (1998) — Basenotes.net

I skimmed some of the comments on that page. I've never thought about how, of course, there would be a whole language for talking about the characteristics of perfume - just like with wine.

When I was a kid, we used to sleep over at my grandparents farm in a room that belonged to my aunt. There was a dresser with all sorts of things in it that we looked through out of curiosity. I still remember the incredibly powerful smell of this possibly not quite airtight bottle of perfume that permeated everything. It smelled like damp, fallen chestnuts and leaves on the ground in a forest - only amplified by a thousand. So I guess there's something for everyone - whether you want to smell like B.O. or a wet autumn forest.

EDIT: I sometimes find it interesting to dive into something I know nothing about for a bit, so now I'm sitting here, reading reviews of that perfume.
That's a way to spend your Saturday evening, I guess

I just thought this comment was funny:

"Every time I come across this, the same image flits across my mind; one I can't mention for fear of giving offense. So I'll keep it short: not for me. The cumin just makes it unwearable. Even worse, unlike 99% of other scents out there, I can't even imagine anyone else liking it, which clearly they do.

Declaration of love? More like declaration of war."

Yeah there is an art to it imo. Like you say some guys actually want scents like BO, and admire the originality of stuff like that Cartier one. Some guys want really out there and unique stuff. Majority of people who are not into it don't think of it in the same way, just want to smell as nice as they can which is fine of course.

Do you remember what your grandparent's perfume was called?
