The Power of Pussy in a Can… 0

Posted on July 31, 2008 by DJC


Pussy, The Natural Energy Drink.

We all know pussy power is the greatest power in the universe. It’s a proven fact. Lucky for you (yeah, you) the power of pussy, now comes in a can. Pussy Energy Drink is the brainchild of 25 year old Londoner, Jonnie Shearer:

The name Pussy shocks and demands attention – that’s the point. Inhibition is a recipe for mediocrity. This is a premium energy drink named with confidence. Pussy is unique. It is made with a blend of fresh white grape juice from Southern Italy, pressed Mexican limes and lightly carbonated water. These are then mixed with Grenadilla and Lychee flavours, infused with Guarana, Siberian Ginseng, Sarsaparilla, Schizandra, Ginko Biloba and Milk Thistle which has been used to ease the pain of hangovers.

Cherrybomb is a fan of energy drinks. They taste great with my favorite party liquid, Mr. Belvedere.  And even though the word Schizandra kind of scares me (it’s actually a medicinal herb), I would still put that can of Pussy to my lips. Sadly, Pussy is only available in the UK. Which means no Pussy for you, or for me. Which is pretty much business as usual for you. I mean both of us.

Swap-A-Rama Means Take Your Clothes off in London… 0

Posted on July 30, 2008 by DJC


Swap-A-Rama, Favela Chic, London, 2008.

Man, I have to learn to speak fluent London immediately. The phrase “take your clothes off” comes in awfully handy, ALL the time. Anyways, Swap-A-Rama is a great way to get drunk and watch people take off their clothes at the same time. To participate, show up at a bar, get drunk and every time you hear the Klaxon sound, be prepared to switch clothes with the person standing next to you. I can’t wait to see where that purple piece of fabric (on the Dita look-alike above) that’s masquerading as a miniskirt, ends up next.

The art of being dishabille is totally in. Check out Swap-A-Rama online for more info.

For Jane.

Peter Mihaichuk, Bloody Good Art… 0

Posted on July 29, 2008 by DJC


Peter Mihaichuk, Self-Portrait, photography and digital illusion, 2006.

For some reason, that last post about Tom Waits got me thinking about Canadian artist, Peter Mihaichuk. Maybe it’s the hat Mihaichuk is wearing in his self-portrait (above) from 2006.


Peter Mihaichuk, Poison, digital photography, 2006.

In Poison (above), Mihaichuk said he experimented with “new techniques.” Cherrybomb thinks Mihaichuk’s new technique involved real blood. Whatever Mihaichuk’s medium was, it’s awesomely creepy. I also can’t tell if Poison girl is looking at me. And that’s because I can’t tell if she has an eye or not.


Peter Mihaichuk, Spooky Dan, photography and digital illustration, 2007.

The Circus Liquor sign in the upper-right corner in Mihaichuk’s Spooky Dan is a nice, albeit demented, touch. If you live in Hollyweird, you know all about Circus Liquor already. And if you do live in Hollywood, you also probably know someone who looks exactly like Spooky Dan.

Like what you see? Mihaichuk also works on commission. For about $300 bucks, Mihaichuk will trick out a undead portrait of you from a photo. Check out Mihaichuck at Aim for the Headshot for more info.


Peter Mihaichuk, Scream of the Dead, photography and digital illustration, 2007.

Peter Mihaichuk is currently developing a kids show he’s adapted from a series of books written by his wife. He’s also working on a documentary on who else? Peter Mihaichuk. Look for a traveling show of Micaichuk’s work to hit New York and LA sometime in 2009.

Peter Mihaichuk lives and works in Ontario, Canada.

Listen: Tom Waits Live From Fox Theater 2

Posted on July 29, 2008 by DJC


Even Tom Waits listens to Tom Waits…

The set-list of nearly 30 songs from this stellar show will make your head spin. Wait’s graced Atlanta’s Fox Theater earlier this month along with guitar god Omar Torrez and his son Casey Waits, on percussion. As of today, you can listen to the entire performance on NPR’s music website.

Thank to the head-spinning greatness of the Mad Irishman for the linkage…

Pajamas By Jesus… 0

Posted on July 28, 2008 by DJC


The Armor of God Pajamas. Yes, really.

…knowing Clowns won’t eat your kids as they sleep? Priceless. Seriously, that’s all I got folks. Actually, I’m pretty sure I would burst into flames if I put one of these things on. It’s also probably true if your child receives one of these sweet outfits for their birthday from someone, that someone hates you.

Armor of God is located in Florida. Naturally.

Joshua Hoffine Gets Man to Eat His Own Arm… 0

Posted on July 28, 2008 by DJC


Joshua Hoffine, Isolation, July 2008.

Photog Joshua Hoffine is back with another glimpse into his blood-splattered world of horrific wonders with his new photo, Isolation (above). And no, it’s no mistake. Hoffine’s lucky subject and hungry fiend, er, friend, Derek Moore does resemble Jesus. I highly recommend you check out Hoffine’s creative process for Isolation on his awesome blog. It’s fascinating stuff.

In the words of the macabre lens-master himself, bon appetite kiddies…

Daniel Edlen Loves Vinyl… 0

Posted on July 27, 2008 by DJC


Daniel Edlen, Lou on Vinyl, $175. For Mr. Incredible.

Artist Daniel Edlen loves vinyl more than anyone I know. And that’s saying a lot. Each piece is hand-painted by Edlen with acrylic paint, making each record unique.


Daniel Edlen, Kiss, acrylic on vinyl.

You can even send Edlen your own LP for him to adorn with your favorite rock star mug. Cherrybomb is naturally sweet on the Kiss one above. But I can’t help but have a small pang of sadness for the copy of Destroyer that was sacrificed in the name of art.


Daniel Edeln, Miles, acrylic on vinyl.

On this vid, you can watch Edlen painting Johnny Cash onto one of his old Sun records. You can see more of Edlen’s Vinyl art at his site or up close at the Primitive Kool Gallery in San Diego, as well as spots in Austin and Arizona. Daniel Edlen lives and works in Phoenix.

Sorry for the lack of posts lately but the beach and the bar and the bar at the beach, are really hard to compete with. I’m sure you wish you had the same problem. If you do, please carry the fuck on.

More soon…

The Kids Are Alright? Townshend vs. Daltery… 0

Posted on July 23, 2008 by DJC


The Who, Shout! Shimmy, National Jazz and Blues Festival, Richmond Athletic Grounds, Surrey -1965.

You can find this mint-in-the-box clip on the 1979 Who doc, The Kids Are Alright. If it’s been a while since you’ve seen Kids, it’s absolutely worth a place in your NetFilx queue. The footage of Keith Moon being completely awesome and completely drunk at all times warms my boozy, black heart. At any rate, I had to post this vid from The Kids Are Alright to remind me that the two surviving members of The Who used to like each other. Mostly, anyway. With that said, what remains of The Who is getting ready to head out on a “mini-tour” starting on October 21st in Detroit. The tour will hit Boston and Philly before it ends up in LA for two shows in November. Unless Pete decides to windmill his old friend from Hammersmith.

I hate you. I hate you more
Daltrey and Townshend smile for the cameras…

After the VH1 Rock Honors this year, Townshend abruptly left the stage as Daltrey was thanking the audience. When Daltrey realized Pete had already left the stage, he shrugged his shoulders at the audience and quickly made his own exit. It’s also been reported that Townshend and Daltrey are no longer on speaking terms, and have specified that their dressing rooms be located as far away as possible at each venue they play. Surprised? Nah, me either.

Anyways, sorry about the links in this post. I’m working on an old-as-fuck Mac that I travel with. Also, it’s been raining for two days here and if one more person makes a joke about me bringing the Seattle weather here, well, you’ll read about that in the papers. It’ll go something like “Woman with pink hair kills bartender over dispute regarding origins of rain.” Man, I always thought that when I made it into the papers, it would sound way cooler. Something like, “Woman kills bartender after bartender served her something from the bottom shelf” or, “Woman kills bartender with surfboard after mistaking bar for beach”. No matter. I’m still on vacation. On vacation from what I’m really not sure, but whatever it is, it sure beats working.

The Many Faces of Christopher Walken… 1

Posted on July 20, 2008 by DJC


A young Christopher Walken, in clown makeup, circa 1955.

…and even though this vintage Christopher Walken face, that face is still, The Walken. As I sit here watching Suicide Kings, I too have realized that even a very bad movie can still has a silver Christopher Walken lining. But back to the young clown-faced Walken (above). I don’t know about you but this series of photos from 1955 is kind of creepy. I mean, it’s kind of redundant to say you hate clowns. And that’s because I’m pretty sure nobody really likes Clowns in the first place. Anyways, not-so-strangely-enough, Walken said he actually did join the circus when he was young:

When I was a kid I joined the circus. I did that. It is true. But it’s not like you think. There was a guy, he had his own circus. His name was Carol Jacobs and he owned it. It was a small thing.


The Walken Clown is freaking me out.

This ’shopped image of Walken in clown makeup contradicts the popular Walken quote “I don’t need to be made to look evil. I can do that on my own.” Walken also once said that he heard that people think his hair grows out of his brain, but never denied that it doesn’t. Which makes me sure that it does. Check out more photos of celebrities in clown makeup including this boss image of Liv Tyler.


The Walken by Robin Eley.

I love this painting of Walken by Australian artist Robin Eley (above). You might be familiar with Eley from his work in the Progressive and Time. But let’s get back to The Walken. In addition to being a cinematic bad-ass, an excellent hoofer and notorious animal lover, Walken is also a painter. In 2003 Walken showed, Works on Paper at the DCA, in New York. The Continental had this very Walken-like thing to say about his abstract tendencies:

I am an abstract painter, but I don’t mix colours up too much. I like clear reds and yellows and greens and orange. My paintings are not a mess. They are sort of neat abstracts. Very colorful, but not about anything in particular; they are not bowls of fruit or anything. But very nice, very pleasant.


Walken. Artist unknown.

Walken’s face is as iconic as the characters he’s created over the last 50 years. There’s loads of images of Walken out there, but I really dig this one (above), as it captures Walken’s unflinching, cooler-than-thou presence. If anyone out there knows who did this, hit me at getcherrybombed-at-gmail-dot-com.


Walken Speed Drawing.

This is a video of an artist doing a speed pencil drawing of Christopher Walken.


Christopher Walken, ink on skin.

It’s always struck me as kind of weird to see an image of a celebrity on someone’s skin. Of course, having Christopher Walken tattooed on your skin will not get you on that creepy tattoo list. Okay, the Walken tattoo above is totally on the creepy tattoo list, but Cherrybomb says it’s creepy-cool. You want creepy? This is creepy


Christopher Walken, ink on skin.\

And finally, it’s not your boozy imagination, this tattoo of Christopher Walken is looking at that guy next to you – you can’t see him, but The Walken can.

Which leads me to these two, simple life-rules. First, you should never trust anyone who doesn’t dig The Walken. Second, aways trust someone with a tattoo of Christopher Walken. Although I don’t have any physical evidence on that second rule, I’m pretty sure the first rule makes the second rule a sure thing.

Ask Christopher Walken Anything… 0

Posted on July 18, 2008 by DJC


Ask Christopher Walken anything. Go ahead…it shouldn’t hurt. Not like he’s Karnak or anything…

Well, why don’t you? Ask Christopher Walken ANYTHING, and he will answer. What more could you want on a Friday night?

For E. Who I hope is enjoying somefine Champagnagne right now.

Posted on July 18, 2008 by DJC


Wendy O by Larry West.

So I’m getting ready to blaze up the East Coast with my alcoholic yet, Princess Grace like presence in a few days. So posts will be a bit less frequent for a few weeks. It’s only because I need to focus on going to the beach, drinking and sleeping in. Rock and Roll will also be involved and you should expect a full-take on the scene from the Gogol Bordello show at Club Casino on August 7th. Members of Team Cherrybomb will be contributing while I’m away so don’t worry. We might be drunk, but we got you back.

And just to be clear, just ’cause I’m gone is no excuse to stay at home and make love to your couch. She doesn’t appreciate you baby. Not like I do. Now make Cherrybomb proud and Get The Fuck Out…

Joseph Arthur
The Triple Door
There is no way you are missing this show. Can you hear me YELLING AT YOU? Cancel whatever you got going on, especially if it’s has anything to do with your couch. Unless that date with your couch includes someone other than your cousin. Okay, I’m lying on that one too. I don’t care how hot your cousin by second-marriage is, kick that ass to the curb. Why? Because Joseph Arthur possesses more talent in his rather large fingers than most bands have collectively. This gig is not to be missed.

Looking Ahead:

Oregon’s “Cuckoo’s Nest” Hospital to Close… 0

Posted on July 16, 2008 by DJC


One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, 1975.

The Oregon hospital where Jack Nicholson received his famous lobotomy is set to be demolished sometime this Fall. Although the 1975 movie, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest was fictional, Jack Nicholson became depressed after witnessing some of the methods of treatment for the hospitals residents. While Nicholson seems to have recovered from his brief stay at the Cuckoo’s Nest, (also known as Oregon State Hospital) the real residents of the decaying mental health facility, weren’t that lucky.


Oregon State Hospital J Building. The building still houses patients despite being on the verge of collapse.

Oregon State Hospital has suffered from many issues over the years, such as overcrowding and physical and sexual assault of their patients. Earlier this week, a patient escaped from a locked ward of hospital after assaulting a female employee. The patient was apprehended and subdued by a Taser after he carjacked a vehicle, rammed a patrol car, assaulted an officer and resisted a police dog.


Patient #567.

However, it was the horrific discovery of the cremated remains of over 3,000 patients in a storage room, that was the true catalyst for the upcoming closure of Oregon State Hospital. Members of the Oregon legislature found the remains, stored in moldy copper canisters, during a tour of the crumbling facility in 2004.

The new facility is scheduled to open in 2011. Oregon lawmakers are also working to improve the care the state provides to the mentally ill.

Will the Real David Lee Roth Please Stand Up…? 0

Posted on July 15, 2008 by DJC


David Lee Roth (right). David Lee Kuntz (left)…

So, you might remember that last week the media went crazy with a story that DLR had almost died. Cops in Oakland, Ontario pulled over a man thought to be Roth, for speeding. Canada’s finest said they quickly realized that “Dave” was in anaphylactic shock and needed immediate medical attention. It now turns out that the speeding nut-sack wasn’t Diamond Dave but was David Kuntz pretending to be DLR.

Somehow, professional douchebag David Kuntz (on the right in case you’re Mr. Magoo) also managed to convince an entire bar full of people in Canada that he was David Lee Roth. Kuntz even took the stage and performed with the bar’s band at one point. I really don’t know what kind of hallucinogenic party liquids they have in Canada but they must be pretty hardcore. I mean, even Stevie Wonder can tell the difference between David Lee Kuntz and the real DLR. I’m also pretty sure if you asked Dave if he is allergic to nuts he’d say something like: “How could I be allergic to nuts? I’m in the band Van Halen! HEEEEEYYYYYYYHIIIIIIIIIYEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHAAAAAAHHH! RUNNIN’ WITH THE DEEEEEEEVILLLLLLLL!”

Vik Muniz’s Caviar Bela Legosi… 0

Posted on July 15, 2008 by DJC


Vik Muniz, Bela Legosi, from the Caviar Monsters Series, 2004.

I recently stumbled upon this Independent Lens piece on prolific Brazilian-born artist, Vik Muniz. Muniz often works with unconventional materials such as chocolate, peanut butter and caviar (like Bela, above). In 1996, Muniz created a series made entirely of sugar on black paper called Sugar Children. Sugar Children depicted the images of Caribbean children that live on the plantation where their parents harvest sugar cane.


Vik Muniz, Saturn Devouring his Son, from the Pictures of Junk Series, 2005.

In the case of Saturn (above), Muniz used junk to create his own interpretation of Fransisco Goya’s original 1820 work.


Vik Muniz, Clown Skull, from the Relic Series, 1987.

Muniz used wood, metal and plastic for his rather authentic-looking “clown skull” (above). Clown Skull sold for nearly $30,000 last year in a New York auction. Stay in school kids.


Vik Muniz, Relaxation, from Pictures of Wire, 1994.

For, Relaxation (above) Muniz only medium was wire. You can see it up close at Muniz’s website along with his other, critically acclaimed works. Muniz will bring his current show, Reflex, to New York’s Sikkema, Jenkins & Co. starting September 7th – October 11th, 2008. The show features over 100 photographs culled from the last 20 years of Muniz’s work.

Vik Muniz lives and works in New York.

Coming Soon: Rob Zombie’s T-Rex, The Movie… 1

Posted on July 13, 2008 by DJC

Tyrannosaurus Rex, a movie by Rob Zombie, coming in 2009.

Even though Zombie ripped off Lemmy on the Motherfucker/SOB joke, I’m okay with that. That’s because it looks like Danny Trejo will play the lead (along with Zombie’s wife Sheri Moon) in Zombie’s upcoming flick, due out in 2009. And since we all know Danny Trejo is 100% motherfucker, this movie will undoubtedly be the balls. Zombie had this to say about T-Rex via his official website:

My next live action feature is called TYRANNOSAURUS REX. I don’t want to give away any details yet, but I will tell you that it has nothing to do with dinosaurs.

I don’t care what this flick is about as long as Danny Trejo is in it. For more on Trejo, check out the 2005 documentary, Champion. It chronicles Trejo’s extraordinary life, including a trip back to Trejo’s old cell at San Quentin Prison.

Fear and Loathing Tattoos: Gonzo & Steadman Forever… 2

Posted on July 11, 2008 by DJC


Hunter S. Thompson, Steadman style, ink on skin.

…and since I’ve been jawing a lot about Hunter this week, I thought I would post a few of the better Hunter S. tattoos that also pay homage to one of Thompson’s confidants. Ink-and-splatter master, Ralph Steadman. The one of Hunter (above) is one of the coolest, interpretive ink jobs I’ve ever seen.


The Dr. is in…Gonzo ink on skin.

I’m pretty sure this tattoo of Thompson (above) can actually see you. Never doubt the power of the Gonzo. The Gonzo fist to the right is also a nice touch.


Hunter Thompson almost never looked so good. Almost…

This is one beautiful sleeve. Check out the rest of this awesome piece, below. Sadly, I can’t find anything about the artist. So, if you know who this talented motherfucker is, let me know at getcherrybombed at gmail dot com.

March 23rd, 2009 update: This tattoo was done by Mez Love, a tattoo artist out of Colorado. Much thanks to Mez for letting me know she is the talented motherfucker responsible for this totally gonzo tattoo.


Fear and Loathing sleeve, Part II.

Ralph would be proud. Cherrybomb has major ink-envy.


Fear and Loathing tattoo by Dan Hazelton.

Running a very close second to the previous F&L tatt is this glorious piece of Gonzo Art by Dan Hazleton, a tattoo artist out of Wisconsin. See more of Hazelton’s big beautiful handiwork. I’ve seen a few inky-interpretations of this image (above), but this one is by far the best of the rest.

Mark Arm Takes a Dive… 0

Green River live at The Sunset Tavern, Seattle, July 10th.

Green River took the stage at The Sunset Tavern last night proving that Mark Arm is indeed one of the greatest vocalists Seattle has ever turned out. If you weren’t one of the lucky ones at The Sunset last night, you can see Green River on Sunday at Marymoore Park as part of Sub Pop’s 20th Anniversary show.

Thanks to Ben Doll for the awesome photo…

GTFO: Sub Pop Turns 20… 0

Green River Ride The Fucking Six Pack T-shirt. Thanks to Ben Doll for the vintage inspiration…

As usual, I’m gonna be completely honest with you. This weekend here in Seattle will go down as one of the greatest in the history of Seattle Music. This weekend, it’s all about Sub Pop. This weekend, it’s all about the secret gigs happening around town (like the Green River gig that isn’t at Marymoore) and the not-so-secret Gutter Twins show at The SoDo Box with Tad Doyle’s new band, Brothers of the Sonic Cloth. All this, in honor of a record label that continues to hold a spell over so many of us. Especially here in the Pacific NW.

What I do know is this, there has never been a better weekend to Get The Fuck Out. It’s gonna be just like the old days. Which is pretty much what it’s like here in Seattle now: completely fucking awesome.

Friday, July 11th:


Hunter S. Thompson by Ralph Steadman for the NYT, 2005.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
The Egyptian
That other movie about Hunter, Gonzo, is also playing at The Harvard Exit. Talk about a perfect double-date.


Amos Lee.

Amos Lee
Somerville Theater (Somerville, Massachusetts)
Amos Lee will grace the small Boston township of Somerville on Friday by way of the historic Somerville Theater. If those walls could talk, I’d deny all knowledge of anything they had to say. And smile, because those walls reminded me of that time we snuck a case of tall Bud’s into the midnight screening of Tommy during the summer of 1985. Good times…


Joseph Arthur and the luckiest flower in the world…

Looking Ahead:

Gogol Bordello at Bumbershoot, 2007. Photo by Cherrybomb.

Gogol Bordello is coming back to what is getting to be their second home, Seattle, on October 9th at The Box in SoDo. Cherrybomb will be taking in GB while hitting the beach back east in August at a little place called Club Casino in New Hampshire. Club Casino is a great little room that Cherrybomb is verrry well acquainted with. I’ve been thrown out of Club Casino numerous times, most notiibly during a Flock of Seagulls show (I should really thank the members of the New Hampshire Law Enforcement Agency for that one), I’ve pre-funked with Peter Frampton (when he still had hair) there, and was front and center for a Winger gig back when they might have been cool for, like, a second. I was so close to the stage, that some chick grabbed a guitar pick out of my hair that Kip threw at me during the show.

I hope that bitch choked on that pick.

But I digress, lets get back to the point of this post. Getting the fuck out.

Ace Frehley Picture Disc, Cherrybomb Private Collection.

Record Swap at Neumo’s! Sweet! On July 19th from 5:00-9:00, you can buy records from locals and local Seattle record stores, all while drinking a nice, frosty PBR. It’s almost like what I imagine heaven is like. Except Cherrybomb Heaven would naturally have a full bar.

Now Get The Fuck Out already…

Kerli, Walking on Air… 0

Posted on July 09, 2008 by DJC

Kerli – Walking On Air (Official Video)

Kerli, Walking on Air, 2008.

Kerli’s first record, “Love is Dead” came out yesterday and despite Kerli’s stone-cold declaration, I’m in love. You can also find Walking on Kerli’s 2007 self-titled EP . The EP also includes Kerli’s killer cover of one of my favorite Bauhaus songs, “She’s in Parties”.

Although I don’t recommend watching the video for “Walking” (above) if you’re drunk, I suspect it’s just as freaky if your not drunk. True fact. I think.

Why Tuesday…? 0

Posted on July 09, 2008 by DJC


The late, great Tim Russert & Why Tuesday’s Jacob Soboroff on voter reform.

Why Tuesday is a Pro-Democracy group working to reform current U.S. voting laws. One of WT hot-button issues is the antiquated “law” that all voting must be conducted on a Tuesday. Funny thing is, there is no such law nor is there any mention of Tuesday voting in The Declaration of Independence or The Constitution.

Tuesday was selected by Congress as the day to vote in the U.S. 163 years ago in 1845.

Why Tuesday supports moving voting to a Saturday. Democratic Caucus’s were held all over Washington State this year, with record-shattering turnout. But, I think comedian Chris Rock summed it up best when he chimed recently as to why he thinks our government wants us to vote on a Tuesday:

They don’t want you to vote. You ever throw a party on a Tuesday night? No. Why? Because nobody would come.

While moving voting activities to a Saturday might not be the best way to increase voter registration and participation, the issue of voter reform itself is a critical one.

Learn more about Why Tuesday and other voting related reform issues like the proposal out of NYU Law School for Universal Voter Registration at Why Tuesday.org.
