I spent a lot of time with music. It's why I started writing with SPB and it's why I keep doing it some 10 years later.
The world has changed, media has changed. But I always have something playing. Sometimes I look at my PC with its 20 open …
Welcome back to another playlist.
As usual when I'm the one behind this piece, this list contains 10 songs that have hit me in various ways, all connected to working at Scene Point Blank.
The majority were things I've reviewed, but some it's not just that. We're currently …
It’s been a while since we’ve shared a playlist here at Scene Point Blank.
This time around, I’ve compiled 13 songs that are on records we’ve reviewed, records that showed up in the mail, or stuff we covered in some other way.

I hadn’t been to The Garage in probably 10 years, a youth center turned all ages venue in suburban Minneapolis. In the past it was more of a stage …
What can I say, I like to make playlists. The latest Search/Play/Repeat keeps my theme of music that Scene Point Blank has covered -- some recently, some long ago, mostly my own work because I've listened to that material the most.

Vices, outlets, escapes... I'm not sure where things are at here in November of 2024. But as we battle our demons and look for meaning, or escape, music is a blessing.
Here's a new playlist. Many of these artists have been covered at Scene Point Blank, mixed in with …

Not very often, but the answer is always because I like music. It's that simple. I like to discover new stuff and I like to share it.
Every year, the staff at Scene Point Blank sink …
