So if you read this blog, you know that I love to jaw about music and post random videos. Being random is fun. Anyway, in the random spirit of this blog, I thought I’d start something called Cherrybomb’s Daily Earwig. Whenever possible, I’ll post some sort of video. As long as you understand that you won’t get a Cherrybomb musical earwig everyday, we’ll get along just fine .
The Cherrybomb Daily Earwig for Friday, September 19th is the Buzzcocks, Ever Fallen in Love. Word is you might actually be able to see the Buzzcocks live next year.
Have you been asking yourself lately if someone you love has been brainwashed into submission? I know I have. Why? I’ll tell you. When I was driving down I-5 today I ended up behind a sweet little powder-blue, 1965 Mustang. Even in traffic, it’s always exciting to get close to any Mustang between the years of 1965 – 1973. The little number in front of me was also being driven by a chick, which, despite my initial pang of jealously, made me smile. Until I got close enough to see the two bumper stickers on her car. The first one had Dino Rossi’s name on it. The other one said that “life begins at conception”. Then there was the small white cowboy hat hanging from her rear view mirror. I loved that Mustang. I gave that Mustang the best 10 minutes of my life when I was stuck behind it today. I mean, what kind of person puts bumper stickers on a ‘69 Mustang?
Well, now you know. And so do I.
Friday, September 19th:
The Maldives. Football not included.
The Maldives and Shim The Tractor
Two of my favorite bands on one bill at what is easily, the greatest club in the City of Seattle. Come out and see what happens when twang and dry ice collide. Here’s a hint: what happens is completely awesome.
Seattle’s own Earth scored the coveted opening spot for Nick Cave next week. If you were planning on drinking away Cave’s opening act, drink again. I mean, think again.
Fremont October Fest Shim, Cancer Rising and Texas Chainsaw Pumpkin Carving
Easily the funnest and drunkest good time you will have all year.
Center of the Universe.
Motorhead
Roseland Ballroom (New York)
On a sad note, Slim Jim Phantom broke his wrist in three places, causing Lemmy’s The Head Cat to cancel all their October gigs. Including the October 9th gig in Seattle at El Corazon. Personally, I’d like to see this show re-booked at a bigger venue but, like you, I’ll take Lemmy anywhere and anyway I can get him.
A Flock of Seagulls Morongo Casino Resort and Spa (Cabazon, CA)
I got thrown out of a Flock of Seagulls show once. Did I tell you that already? No? Really? That’s weird. That’s usually the first thing I tell people. Anyway, everything happens for a reason. Especially when it comes to A Flock of Seagulls. Whatever that means.
The Meat Purveyors.
The Meat Purveyors The Tractor
According to a very good looking friend of Cherrybomb, seeing the bluegrass loving Meat Purveyors is always a drunken good time.
Looking Ahead:

80’s Cover Night with Ms. Led, Jodie Watts and so much MORE…
The Sunset On Thursday, September 25th, Seattle band Jodie Watts will play their first gig in three years. Jodie Watts was the first local band I saw after moving to Seattle in 1999. The show was at The Sit ‘n’ Spin and the bartender turned out to be an old friend. I can’t tell you how much that show warmed my cold, East Coast rock ‘n’ roll heart. Almost 10 years later, that night still ranks high up on Cherrybomb’s “good time” list. And, since I love to have a good time, it just makes sense that you should be at The Sunset on Thursday, September 25th.
Monotonixwill be at The Comet Tavern on Satuday, September 27th. Did you get shut-out of Monotonix’s show at Bumbershoot earlier this month? The Comet is mosh-friendly. Trust me.
The Saturday Knights.
The Saturday Knightsare at Neumo’s on Thursday October 16th. Just like their last record, TSK’s new record is really, really good.
So there you have it. This week’s Get The Fuck Out is, well, out. And you should be too.
Cherrybombed.com is about the music and culture of the Pacific Northwest, as well as other cool happenings around the world. We also shine a spotlight on celebrities behaving badly. Here, you will find videos, low-brow artwork and images, and tattoos only a mother could hate.
If boozing was an olympic event, we would be on a box of Wheaties. If this all sounds familiar to you (and your mother), welcome home.
