Harp’s demise
You may have noticed a posting here about Harp magazine going under, wondering what happened to that piece of news. Well, Harp magazine is indeed kaput though I made the mistake of posting internal information that was circulated about it which might get the people involved in trouble. As a contributor to the magazine and a booster of said publication, I don’t want anyone there involved in any hot water. I know that goes against journalist impulses to get the story out about what happened but I’m not willing to do that the expense of editors there that I’ve worked with and respected for years. Rest assured that the story about what happened there will come out. For now, I hope you’ll also be mourning the loss of a great publication.

Now if only we could get rid of the artists covered in <I>No Depression</I> and <I>Harp</I> (and <I>Paste</I>), American culture might be saved from itself.

Jason, you’re never going to win one of those “Fantastic music scriber” awards unless you learn how to use commas.
Oh wait, you’re the judge and jury for those awards. Hmmm….

PDF can’t hear you over his Nickelback and Three Doors Down. Mediocrity (or Middle America) strikes another blow.

Harp magazine is a great magazine and its sad that this is happening. <a href=“http://www.concorderock.com/juno-great-music-from-a-must-see-film/”>Junos soundtrack</a> never got a chance to be featured and that bothers me. I would have loved to see this happen.
