Blurt (magazine) Blurt is a music print magazine and online outlet originally based in Silver Spring, MD. The magazine was originally known as "Harp Magazine" for over 10 years, also based in Silver Spring, and was considered one of the best music magazines of the decade in the early 2000s. After "Harp" folded in March 2008 (at the behest of its parent company, which also owned JazzTimes, it declared bankruptcy), "Blurt" was founded by "Harp" owner Scott Crawford. Some of the main writers and editors for "Harp" also started "Blurt" with Crawford, including managing editor Fred Mills (of Asheville, NC, and also a contributing editor to "Stereophile", "Magnet" and other music industry publications and alternative weeklies), senior editor Randy Harward (also an editor for the Salt Lake City weekly paper), and senior editor Andy Tennille (a journalist and photographer, currently the photographer for Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers).
