My prized WBCN vintage 80’s t-shirt.
I’ve got so much ‘BCN stuff tucked away it makes my head spin. I still wear the vintage WBCN t-shirt (pictured above) with pride to this day.
Former Big Mattress DJ, Charles Laquidara posted some great links to news stories on WBCN, past and present on his blog. Read ‘em and weep radio listeners for the end is nigh…
Just tell Favreau *SQUAWK*, that you need some sort of sidekick *SQUAWK*, or you’re walking. Now *SQUAWK* get me a fucking cracker and a glass of Beam. For LP.
…however it turns out Mickey’s drinking buddy is a Cockatoo. Says Mickey:
I told (Iron Man director) Favreau, I don’t want to just play him as a one-dimential p—-. He let me have a cockatoo, who I talk to and get drunk with while I’m making my suit.
Well, at least I now understand Rourke’s batshit insane Baretta stunt from this May when he was photographed rolling around LA with a Cockatoo on his shoulder. Rourke was only pulling a master thespian move on us by acting all crazy. The man is a goddamned genius.
The Staxx Brothers @ The Tractor Tavern, Friday, July 17th. Poster by John Warner and JDub Allstars.
Tonight at The Tractor you can expect The Staxx Brothers to pull out music from their most recent record, We are Blaxstonz, cuts from their 2008 record 12th Street Blues, as well as some new material the band plans to record in the Fall with Blaxstonz producer, Scott Colburn.

Future of the Left, Chin Music. From 2009’s Travels with Myself and Another.
Future of the Left is comprised of two former members of one of my favorite groups, Cardiff’s, McLusky. Thankfully one of them is former McLusky front-man Andrew Falkous, who’s distinctive sneering, expletive laced vocal style, predominates the bands second record.
Future of the Left will play the Capitol Hill Block party on Saturday, July 25th along with Sonic Youth (!), The Maldives, The Thermals and The Gossip. It’s going to be a tough call for yours truly as both Future and The Gossip take the stage at opposite ends of the Block Party at 9:00 pm on Saturday.
Tonight, Future of the Left plays a room that has seen everyone from Morphine to Buffalo Tom over the last 20 years, T.T. The Bears.
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.
You can listen to DJ Cherrybomb occasionally, when she's conscious.
