A little under a month ago, when we reported on No Depression's demise, one of you guys commented: "At least we've still got Harp." Well, now we don't. While we were partying with PASTE at SXSW, we got the sad news that Harp is no more. We don't have too many details now, but you can read more at The Daily Swarm. Sorry to see ya go, Harp ... it's getting harder and harder to read about music on paper.

After two weeks of reader-tipped BTWs from Lawrence, Kansas, we mentioned there seemed to be something going on in that city, despite William S. Burroughs up and dying a few years ago. After the proclamation went out, we received notes...

Before we got to soak-in the woozy organ and raw yelps of "In the New Year," the last taste we had of the Walkmen was that one-off "Lemon Hill." As we mentioned then, the Men said "Lemon" wasn't "exactly in...

Now I feel awful letting my subscription lapse a few months back... HARP was great. I once fell for a girl strictly because she was cute and she had a copy of HARP in her bag. R.I.P.

News to me - what ballot is Grohl on?
Score = 3
You shouldn't feel too bad D. Magazines primarily rely on advertising support to run their operations, not subscriptions. I think Harp went under cos the suffering music industry no longer has the funds for things such as print ads. Totally sucks.

I never bought Harp, seemed like a poor man's Paste. Until Paste became a poor man's Paste. Since they gave away those subscriptions, they've tanked - cover story on Michael Jackson's Thriller? 6 pages of a musical family tree based on naimal-named-bands? I guess you get what you pay for.
Thank god for Mojo.

mojo blows.

I can't wait until I can get all of music news on my iPhone along with all of my music, ideas, directions and personal correspondence, and everything else I might need ever. Harp was just killing trees, man, bring the revolution.
