Loren (Scene Point Blank)

SPB: Which is the most difficult and which is the most enjoyable part of being an editor for a music webzine?

Loren: The most difficult is simply finding time. As a global site that, in turn, means we get submissions from everywhere and at all hours of the day. The most enjoyable part is in connecting with musicians and labels, the people who create what I love. It’s given me another level of connection to an art form I’ve always appreciated, and I like to think it’s also given me a deeper understanding.
