HEATHEN HARVEST WILL BE SHUTTING DOWN

I had my heart broken yesterday. My buddy paddy, who is in charge of postings at HH, had confirmed to me that the site will not be seeing any major activity after what is said to be the final issue on the first of next month. Malakhi wasnt even courteous enough to address the writers personally, but as bad as I feel, he must be feeling so many, many times worse. I have been with these guys for two years now, and its very difficult to imagine just where I would be if it wasn't for my involvment with them. I've learned so much, met so many amazing people, begun to collaborate musically... It has been one of the most significant experiences of my life. Especially reviewing the Tarot Serie. Its a trip to think that the last time I had anything up was the time Paddy re-posted all of the Tarot reviews at once, and for a shining two weeks, I was a superstar writer... haha.
Its not completely over though, I was told that the domain would stay up, and that any new submissions would be posted, just not in the context of an issue, just random. I refuse to let this be the end for me. I'm not going to cease contributing because Heathen harvest has been my only window into the Post Industrial world for a long time now, and I'm not giving up on it because I aint getting a new package every month.
Ive got a small, but very close group of buddies that share my passion for this underground, and some of them love to send me stuff, not only because they value my opinion, but because they think I am deserving of what they have to offer. Matter of fact, DeVis just sent me a message yesterday telling me he wants to send me a new Noise tape, which he put together to help him get out his frustrations with some recent legal bullshit he's going through. And I plan to review it.
I guess Ive learned how to hustle enough to keep going, but also to keep going on my own, so as to stay on top of things and stay fresh, building upon the base I have and going from there. I am planning to set up my own review site, most likely on this site as a blog on account of it being free. I am starting it based on an idea I had to have a place that specializes in Net releases, which it seems have been neglected at large by the journalists in the Post Industrial community. I gotta get Tony to help me find a down ass design for it...
Lastly, this Saturday, I have an appointment with a guy who calls himself Lord Q [yes! another Lord to work for], a man who is starting up a webzine for a showcase based on exhibiting and promoting LA-based black and Latino Punk and Metal acts. LA PUNK NOIR, he calls it. He said he wants me to show up and immediately get into interviewing one of the bands. I'm DERN! Its no surprise things fall into place this way as one things fades... It's a beautiful thing.
