Leaning_Tombstones.jpg

A collection of gravestones containing one affected by SCP-XXXX.

Special Containment Procedures: Embedded Foundation agents are to install speakers around the graves of known music artists. In areas where this is infeasible, embedded agents are to promote instead the idea that the deceased's spirit is able to play music from their life as a way of communicating with the living.1

Description: SCP-XXXX is a phenomenon affecting grave sites of musical artists.

Approximately 50 years after the death of the artist, SCP-XXXX will occur. SCP-XXXX will cause the deceased's entire discography to audibly emanate from the grave in reverse chronological order, and with each individual song playing in reverse.

Addendum 1:

SCP-XXXX was discovered after Dr. Maslov T. Manferd was visiting a local graveyard and passed by an SCP-XXXX-affected gravestone. After he questioned a nearby groundskeeper, and his response of, "Oh that? That just happens sometimes.", he was brought in for further questioning regarding SCP-XXXX.

[BEGIN LOG]

The log opens to the groundskeeper sitting at an interview table, looking anxious. Dr. Manferd enters the room and sits opposite the groundskeeper.

Groundskeeper: You again. What's going on?

Dr. Manferd: We just have a few questions for you.

Groundskeeper: Am I under arrest?

Dr. Manferd: Not technically, but cooperation will make this go much smoother. What do you know about the music playing from the graves?

The groundskeeper looks visibly calmer.

Groundskeeper: Oh, that? Like I told you before, that just happens sometimes.

Dr. Manferd: Do you know why?

Groundskeeper: Well, y'know, in life, the music artists, that is, they composed.

Groundskeeper: And in death, they decompose.
