Pujol

Posted June 17, 2013, 5:39 p.m.

Here at Scene Point Blank, a lot of records show up in the ol’ inbox. Needless to say, many don’t get the attention they deserve (and some get more). I can’t remember what first appealed about Pujol, but I invested my attention in reviewing X File on Main Street and was hooked. Since then, Pujol has joined with indie heavyweight Saddle Creek and released the full-length United States of Being. Daniel Pujol is constantly writing new material, at a level that outpaced his peers and led to a rotating cast of musicians. While this works well within a tightly-knit music community as in Nashville, it gets more complicated to hit the road. Scene Point Blank caught up with ...

Lovelost Records

Posted Oct. 16, 2010, 11:34 a.m.

Don't ever ask me why, but at one point I studied the behaviors and characteristics of alien parties. When I say alien, I'm referring to aliens of both foreign and extraterrestrial variety. The definitive moment of this portion of my life was when I studied the Xylenes, birthed upon the planet Xylenion. The Xylenes made music like we do on Earth, but recordings were rarely made and when they were, they were extremely difficult to find. This situation arose because the Xylenes didn't have record labels. I then realized it was time to showcase Earth-based record labels ...
