skip to main | skip to sidebar Monday, June 8, 2009 new siteWe're done here!You can go to ReviewerMag.com/press now!No more posting original articles and editorial feeds here. Reviewer Magazine went online first nine years ago. Tried out the ease of a GeoCities site for a few years, moved over to Livejournal and stayed there until April of 2009, then came here to blogger.com because it seemed to be where the action was as far as online journeling. After one of our other blogs mysteriously became inaccessible here at blogger.com due to a password not working, it was finally decided to place all content at our own website.

So now visit ReviewerMag.com/press or go through our main page and check out the new blog. Most of our online archive stretching back to 2004 should be up there, if there are links or images that are nonfunctioning let me know: editor@reviewermagazine.com.Posted byReviewer Magazineat2:12 AM Wednesday, June 3, 2009 (ad) James HaitchwaiJames HaitchwaiCatchy, passionate punk/pop/folk artist

Michael Gray, a 30 year old liberal arts student, losing support from his parents and unable to further his degree. He is at a crossroads with his girlfriend and life. He comes up with an idea.

Through kismet he meets a younger group of musicians and plots to turn his idea into the dream of a lifetime. They form a tribute cover band of the legendary Doors, Jim Morrison in particular. The band tours and Michael Gray lives out his simpatico with Jim Morrison.

The tour leads the band to various venues, ending ironically at the famed Whiskey a Go-Go where the Doors first played and had their start. Unfortunately for Michael Gray and his Jim Morrison personae it is the end, but he has his kicks before the whole shit house goes up in flames, to paraphrase Jim Morrison.

I recommend by Jim Cherry for anyone how has a dream or if your a Doors fan. Cherry has well researched his subject matter and placed it in a well written 240 page book.

THE LAST STAGE on Amazon
at Barnes s not surprising that they were forever adopted into American culture as the voice of the blue collar.

Enter The Service Industry, an indie rock band out of Austin whose latest album, Keep the Babies Warm, showcases their diverse sonic influences and ability. They are an act with definite opinions, and I wish that I couldve spoken with them before writing this to pick their brain. I will be the first to admit, on first listen, it all seemed a bit forced. But after reading about them more, and listening more, the earnestness of their lyrics began to shine through. They are a collective of ideas and ideals on the state of the nation who has managed to put to words and harmony thoughts and feeling we all have; no-holds barred, no B.S., take it or leave it riffs and rhythms that make their music easy to relate to. There isnt anything false about their music, it comes from the heart and soul. The Service Industry is empathy for all the blood and sweat and angst and doubt we all feel.

The album runs the gamut of sonic appeal that for ultimately comes together in Liquid Meat Into a Form, an utterly melancholy, delightful harmony between Mike McCoy and Julie Lowery that is both hard-hitting and delicately beautiful. The track is jumps out as a sound to be reckoned with and demands the attention of the listener, at first for the subtle crashing kettle and classic strumming sound of a lazy summer day in the south, combined with endearing vocal harmonies. But then, as you delve deeper into the song, it stirs something inside of you that makes you want to take action. And that is the sign of a great song or great album, the one that moves the listener, whether its hurt, love, anger, disbelief, sadness or anxiety. Keep the Babies Warm will almost definitely move the listener to one of these areas, most likely all of them.

By Jim Kavanaghfrom www.cnn.com/2009/US/05/15/oldest.iraq.fatality/(CNN) -- Army Maj. Steven Hutchison fought battles in the jungles of Vietnam. Then he fought an epic battle on the home front. And at age 60, he still wasn't done fighting for his country.

Maj. Steven Hutchison served 22 years in his first Army stint, then returned at age 57. He died Sunday (5/10/09).

The battle ended for Hutchison on Sunday. He died in Basra, Iraq, of wounds from a roadside bomb in Al Farr. He is the oldest U.S. service member to die in Iraq or Afghanistan.

Hutchison joined the Army in 1966 and served two one-year tours in Vietnam, according to a news release from Fort Riley, Kansas, home of Hutchison's 1st Infantry Division, the famous "Big Red One."

Over the next 22 years, he was a platoon leader in Germany and commander of a basic training company at Fort Jackson, South Carolina.

Along the way, he earned a doctorate in psychology from the University of Delaware and became an assistant professor of military science at Claremont College in California. He was awarded the Bronze Star Medal and the Meritorious Service Medal, among others.

Hutchison retired from the military in 1988 and took up the quiet life of a college professor. He taught at several small colleges in California and became a researcher for a health care company in Scottsdale, Arizona, said his brother, Richard Hutchison.

But Hutchison felt compelled to re-enlist after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. His wife, Kandy, vetoed that idea, however.

That decision proved fateful as Hutchison was able to stand by his wife's side through her battle with breast cancer. She died of the disease in January 2006.

The always-athletic Hutchison channeled his grief by whipping himself into shape and returning to active duty at age 57 the following year, his brother said. Military rules say retirees may be recalled up to age 64 for general officers, 62 for warrant officers and 60 for all others.

Hutchison served a tour in Afghanistan and then was sent to Iraq, where he was part of a team training Iraqi forces to secure their own country.

"He's been a soldier his whole life," Richard Hutchison, of Mesa, Arizona, told CNN affiliate KNXV-TV.

"He was a great guy," he told CNN. "We hung around together, we went to the movies together, went out to dinner together. He loved to shoot pool; we used to shoot pool all the time, either at my house or at his house. He was just a great friend and a great brother."

The soldier-psychology professor, who is also survived by two daughters and two half-siblings, had a mischievous side, too.

"He liked to tease me about him being younger than me, even though he was five years older than me," Richard Hutchison said with a soft chuckle. "He would tell everyone he was the youngest one. And they would believe him. Made me feel real good."

Richard Hutchison plans to fly to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware over the weekend to claim his brother's body and return it to Scottsdale for burial.

The last communication the brothers had was a routine e-mail Steven Hutchison sent from Iraq about two weeks ago. He rarely wrote about his experiences in Iraq, Richard Hutchison said.

However, there was one matter on the ground that the soldier involved his brother in.

"When he was in Iraq, they found a dog and were taking care of it. He sent me an e-mail asking me to send some dog food and dog supplies," Hutchison said. The Army made Hutchison's team give up the dog, but they left it in good hands, his brother said.

"He had a big heart."Posted byReviewer Magazineat9:15 PM Sunday, May 17, 2009 band review: METRICMetric, Featuring Emily Hainesreview by Tim FennellPhotos from myspace.com/metric. Click the pics for the larger versions.I see HUGE commercial success for this group of musicians, and I am encouraging every person reading this to go to myspace.com/metric after you finish reading this review. I like it, I like it a lot, and out of all of the 15 tracks I've just listened to, quite a few of them repeatedly, I am realizing that Metric has figured out and designed formulas of writing music that not only takes your breath away, but also leaves you pissed at the world, and happy to be alive all within the same hour or so that it takes to listen to their catalog of music that is posted on myspace. They have written and recorded stories of your life, cleverly.

The single "Help I'm Alive" might sound familiar to you as I notice it has over two-million plays, which I'm not surprised about because its a cool, cool, song. It's sonic, it's chilling. The bridge of the song has a dismal monotone passage that sets up the chorus brilliantly, and screams radio hit. This song leaves me grinning at the thought of Metric getting into a bar brawl with Flyleaf and Paramore, and Metric tossing them around like rag dolls. "Satellite Mind" proves to me that "Metric" is a super group of musicians, who possess stellar minds for experimentation in merging electronic with straight up rock 'n roll. "Gold Guns and Girls" is making me wear out my repeat button. Its addictive. The lyrics of the chorus ask Is it ever gonna be enough?" - and the answer is no, not right now. I think I need to hear it about 10 more times. But thanks for asking. I especially love the chorus of the very next track, "Gimme Shelter" that also asks you "who would you rather be, the Beatles or the Rolling Stones?" Great question isn't it? I dig this band, I think fans of Bjork, Faithless, and DJ Shadow would especially enjoy Metric as well.

Metric's music has feel, it has atmosphere, there is a groove, and did I also mention that Metric is fronted by the insanely talented Emily Haines? Folks might know her from some of her other projects that include Emily Haines she is the daughter of Canadian poet Paul Haines and sister of Canadian television journalist Avery Haines. Her brother Tim Haines is the owner of Bluestreak Records of Ontario, Canada. I strongly urge listeners to plug into the music of Metric and other projects featuring Emily Haines. It's good. It's really good. If you have come here to find about unique bands and truly great music, go to myspace.com/metric, and pay attention to upcoming printed issues of Reviewer Magazine and ReviewerMag.com to hear and see more of this ridiculously talented group of artists.
