          1. Realised earlier that I missed the 20th anniversary of @scenepointblank, the music webzine I helped co-found back in the heady days of March 2003 when I was a whippersnapper of 16 years old, excited by all this "post-hardcore" music that was coming out.

          The site looked like this when it launched, and I updated the HTML by hand (via FTP), which got particularly cumbersome once we reviewed more than a dozen albums.

        For our 10 year anniversary we published a book! It collected the best music journalism we'd published to date. I learned a lot about typesetting.

      20 years on from our launch, lots has changed. You don't need music websites to discover news stories anymore, and album reviews are less of a requirement when you can just stream any album on demand for free. But we're still here, still publishing, and I'm very proud of it.

    So visit scenepointblank.com/ - we're older than Facebook, Instagram and co, and you might just discover some new music.
