Black Mountain, Let Spirits Ride. From the upcoming record, Wilderness Heart , due out on September 14th.

According to Black Mountain vocalist, Stephen McBean, Wilderness Heart, the bands third full length, is their most “metal” yet. I’ve listened to five tracks off the record and, in addition to a couple of sweet folk-y jams, three of the five are so metal, they will melt your face off.

Black Mountain will play the Showbox in Seattle on November 29th. More on the Vancouver, BC band, including a full list of tour dates, here.

Ozzy kicks out the jams with 10 year old guitar prodigy, Yuto Miyazawa, in Hartford Connecticut on August 21, 2010.

You might have heard about little Yuto Miyazawa before (seen here on Cherrybombed.com last year) but, this clip of the now 10 year old Yuto performing “Crazy Train” with Ozzy LIVE, just made my day. Word.

Unheart it. When you absolutely, positively have to get that f*$king song out of your head…

And it works. Although, a word of caution. You may end up with an equally bad song stuck in your ears. My first three earwig removal “hits” consisted of the theme to the Andy Griffith Show, Conga by Gloria Estefan and, Antoine Dodson’s auto-tune-y rapist jam, Climbing Through Your Window. You have been warned.

Condomania tells you where the biggest penises are in the country. In other news, I’m moving to New Orleans! I guess they really don’t call it the “Big Easy” for nothing.

Condomania has been collecting data on penis size since 2004 when they launched, They Fit Condoms, a line of custom fitted jimmy-hats. They Fit Condoms come in 76 different sizes, ranging from 3 to 10 (!) inches in length and, from super slim to “extra-roomy” in width.  The strictly-dickly-data collection, culled by the feedback provided by 27,000 penises from around the world, is the largest (ahem) evaluation on Mr. Johnson since The Kinsey Penis Report in the early 90’s. Below are more fun penis facts from Condomania. In other news, I can’t wait to go back to New Hampshire!

• Top Ranking State by Average Penis Size: New Hampshire
• Lowest Ranking State by Average Penis Size: Wyoming
• Top Ranking U.S. City by Average Penis Size: New Orleans
• Second Highest Ranking City (just behind N.O.): Washington, D.C.
• Lowest Ranking City by Average Penis Size: Dallas/Ft. Worth
• Blue States vs Red States: Blue States’ Average Penis Size is Bigger!
• Penises Come in a Wide Range of Sizes: The Smallest Penises are Less Than 3″ in Length and the Largest Penises are Longer Than 10″ in Length
• Penis Sizes Chart Almost a Perfect Bell Curve: 25% of the Male Population is Under 5″ in Length, 50% are Between 5″ and 6″ in Length and 25% are Longer than 6″ in Length

Thunderbitch! By Ellen Forney.

The Thunderbitch exhibit that has been running at the Tether Design Gallery in Seattle all month is, about to end. Which means if you haven’t seen it, you only have two more days to make things right by GTFO to see it. The exhibit features graphic works and rock posters done by women artist based in the Pacific Northwest, dating back to the 1960’s. The way I look at it is like this; if you like girls who like to rock and love art, this one is a slam-dunk.

Endless Boogie. From 2010’s Full House Head. For Surly.

Endless Boogie are from Brooklyn. And they fucking rock. As you will see by way of today’s Daily Earwig from Endless Boogie, Tarmac City.  And, let’s be honest. If you’re gonna have the balls to name your band after a John Lee Hooker song, you better be able to back it up with some first class jams. Which Endless Boogie does, masterfully. Despite the fact that the band has been been around since 2001, they just released their second studio album, Full House Head, this past July. The record is full of epic, indulgent tunes that rival those of their classic rock predecessors. Word.

Directly following tonight’s MAG-cast, I’ll be GTFO to catch Aerosmith tribute band, Draw The Line at the Tractor Tavern. Will the faux Bad Boys of Boston will live up to the recent Tyler/Perry shenanigans of late? I can only hope…

Steven Tyler clocks Joe Perry in the head with his mic (34 seconds in) at Jones Beach on August 12th. Six days later, Joe Perry hip-checked Tyler head first into the audience in Toronto.

Now that a video of Steven Tyler accidentally clocking Joe Perry in the skull with a mic has found it’s way to the Internets, many media outlets are reporting that Tyler’s mic-assault was payback after Joe Perry “accidentally” bumped Steven Tyler off stage at an Aerosmith show in Tornoto.

However, the microphone incident occurred at Aerosmith’s show in Jones Beach on August 12th, six days before Perry tried to see if a m@therf*$king rainbow could actually fly when, he bumped Tyler with his hip, sending the 62 year old head first, into the audience. Today, a rep for Perry issued a statement saying that he wanted his fans to know that he would, “never deliberately push Steven off the stage”, adding that Joe is a “total gentleman”.

Now, I know getting hit in the head with a mic really hurts (thanks, Surly) but, Perry’s reaction rivaled that of a toddler throwing a tantrum in a toy aisle. Except Perry’s tantrum consisted of tossing his guitar into a stack of amplifiers, then stalking off-stage, leaving the band to finish Sweet Emotion, Perry-less. I mean, who is Joe Perry’s life-coach these days, Axl Rose? All Perry-bashing (ha!) jokes aside, the video is completely hilarious. That and Joe Perry really needs to get a grip (pun indented, it stays).

The Sex Pistols now have their own perfume.

Have you ever wanted to smell like three week old BO, vomit, a broken bass guitar (covered in piss), heroin, stale blood and brill creme? Well you can’t. And that’s because none of those things are in the new” Sex Pistols” perfume just launched by French beauty house Elat Libre D’Orange last month.  Who knew black pepper was “defiant” or that prunes were “turbulent”. Well, Johnny Lydon probably knows a few things about prunes but, that’s another matter. All aging-punk-rock-idol-laxative-jokes aside, here’s what a “Sex Pistols” actually smells according to the French POV:

Fresh, restless bite of lemon, sharpened and intensified by defiant black pepper. It’s the unruly turbulence of a prune and an in-your-face ambrette. Electrified by aldehydes, you can feel the pure energy pared down and pumped up by leather, shot through with heliotrope and brought back down to earth by a raunchy patchouli.

I can’t argue with the fact that patchouli actually is pretty raunchy smelling so, I’m sure Sex Pistols is going to be a nose-smashing success. So far, it’s only available at Sephora locations with a Euro postal code. Which is far enough away for me.

Judo Jo Perry CHOP!

By now you’ve all heard the news that, last night at an Aerosmith show in Toronto, after Steven Tyler bumped Joe Perry on stage while doing his famous “I Motherf*cker am the RAINBOW!” jig, Joe Perry hip-checked Tyler, hockey Mom style, causing Tyler to fall off the stage head first, into the crowd. Ironically, this is the second time Tyler took a spill off the stage during the song “Love in an Elevator”. Going down, indeed.

But was it all just a publicity stunt, orchestrated by the band to grab more headlines as they push through their 45 date tour? After watching the video, it looks as though Perry “bumped” Tyler, saw him fall off the stage, but continued down the catwalk, riffing out, appearing to be quite unaware that Tyler had quite literally become one with the audience. To yours truly, Perry’s actions are definitely suspicious. But what do YOU think.

Has Joe Perry finally reached the end of his rock ‘n’ roll rope with Steven Tyler or, was it all just part of the show?

Alice Cooper and Salvador Dali, 1973. For LP.

Of the more than 100 works by Salvador Dali currently on display at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta is Dali’s 1973 holographic image of Alice Cooper. Here’s a link to the image Dali dubbed the “first Cylindric Chromo-Hologram Portrait of Alice Cooper’s Brain”.  For the session, Cooper donned over 2 million dollars worth of diamonds (including a tiara) while clutching a statue of Venus De Milo. When it came to Cooper’s “brain”, Dali constructed a plaster mold and topped it with a chocolate éclair, covered in ants. Anyway, if that’s not metal, I don’t know what is.

Smash Guitar. Built for smashing! 500 yen. By K’s Japan.

The “eco-friendly” Smash Guitar, designed and manufactured by K’s Japan, is specifically designed to be smashed to bits. Once it’s owner gives it the Pete Townshend treatment, the guitar is shipped back (in a guitar shaped coffin no less) to K’s Japan where it is rebuilt and sold to another guitar wielding maniac.  Smash Guitar comes in your choice of black or white as well as a model that comes loaded with guitar picks (the Bomb Smash) that naturally deploys guitar picks through the air during the guitar smashing process. Of course, since guitar smashing can be dangerous, K’s Japan has a few cautionary words (as well as a liability form that is required for the buyer) for the potential wanna-be guitar destroyer:

When smashing the guitar, pieces are known to fly over ten meters – which can cause damage (10 meters! Sweet!)

Smashing your guitar can also cause electrocution (Yikes! But I’m still game.)

You will need a wall or some alternative defense plan to prevent parts from to areas that will cause damage (Translation: incoming guitar shrapnel = duck. Got it.)

Person that will smash guitar should be wearing gloves, eye protection gear, and a helmet for their own safety (Gloves, helmet, goggles. Check!)

Please note that if you are going to smash this guitar, you will need to do so at your own risk (If Pete can do it, so can I!)

Sadly because it’s dangerous as fuck, Smash Guitar isn’t available anywhere but Japan (BOO!).

You can watch the video for Grinderman’s new single “Heathen Child” here. It’s completely bananas, 100% NSFW and completely worth the risk. This video has everything!
