Aerosimth has confirmed that they, and the irreplaceable Motherfucking Rainbow(aka, Steven Tyler) will play 11 dates in Europe starting in June. In this 22 second video posted on the bands AeroForce One website, Tyler jokingly says that he auditioned and “Got the gig.”, Joe Perry’s reaction at the end of this video is fucking priceless.

In keeping with the consensus that there is not such thing as Aerosmith without Steven Tyler, the band is scheduled to appear at the massive Download Festival in the UK in June under one condition, that Steven Tyler and onlySteven Tyler appear with the band. Tyler, who despite making appearances at and Karaoke barsandHome Depot, is still in rehab, released this statement confirming that he will perform with Aerosmith at Download:
In the early days of Aerosmith, we were infected with the vibe coming out of the U.K. with the Yardbirds, Blues Breakers, Pretty Things and the Rolling Stones, and we wanted what they had bad. So baby, we’re coming home. Rock and roll can be pure sex and we can’t wait to Download …
The Download Festival kicks off on June 11th at Donington Park. Take that Joe Perry.
Coconut is due out on March 1st. You can download Shark’s Tooth now for free here.

UK artist Nick Gentry creates his portraits using old school media like VHS tapes and floppy discs. If you have been wanting to get rid of your old cassette tapes or those floppy disc you have stored in your basement just in case you need to resurrect your resume from 1989, send them along to Gentry and he’ll turn them into a work or art.
My Dream Life Darlene paper doll by Insa. For Stacey.
This street-wise version of the paper doll by UK artist Insa comes with everything a hot girl made of paper needs to make all her dreams come true, like a glock, wads of cash, a 40 of malt liquor, some dope, a cupcake and a wedding dress. Because you never know when Mr. Right (or Mr. Right Now) is going to show up in his El Camino, roll down the window and ask you to be his forever woman. Even paper dolls need to be prepared for anything.
If you’re in LA, you can see the paper doll interpretations of over 40 different artists at The Timeless Paper Doll group show at FIFTY 24 Gallery.
Absolut studded pint case. Fits any 375 ml bottle of Absolut. Found in Paris during NYE 2009. Lucky me.
You are looking at a my new favorite object, a black studded case that is suitable to carry any 375ml bottle of Absolut in style. I truly have the best friends in the world.
Thanks to AFJ and JB for this well traveled, very metal hooch holder. I will treasure it almost more than the party liquids it will carry.

Iggy Pop’s second commercial for car insurance company Swiftcover.
My money’s on Little Iggy this time! The terrifying puppet version of Iggy Pop, featured in this second commercial (above) for UK car insurance company Swiftcover, clearly knows how to party. Anyway, if you somehow missed Igg’s first gig with Swiftcover, you can see it here on Cherrybombed.com.
Our young very metal friend is wearing a second hand jacket, trousers from Primark, boots from Sko Uno, belt second hand and gloves from a punk shop in Stockholm. That is all.
The Def Leppard sticker is a nice touch, don’t you think? Anyway, check out more International fashion do’s and mishaps via Style Clicker.net.
Seriously. Who does this? A rightfully pissed off Moz left the stage in Liverpool, after getting pelted by a pint of beer less than ten minutes into the show. This shit is so uncalled for. I mean, this is Morrissey! If I ever had the pleasure of being in the same room as Moz and, had the unfortunate audacity to spill something (other than my own bodily fluids) on him, I would lick said liquids off of his shoes (I should be so lucky) and suck the red carpet he walked in on. Just so the the soles of the Shoes that grace the feet of Moz,wouldn’t get wet. True story.
London Calling, the stamp. Coming to the UK on January 7th, 2009. Do you hear me Jane…?
10 stamps featuring classic British album covers will be released by the Royal Mail in early 2010. Images of Led Zep IV, Pink Floyd’s Division Bell and The Clash’s third record, London Calling, are featured in the Design Classics II collection due out on January 7th in the UK.
Future of the Left @ Neumo’s. Tuesday, October 13th, 2009. Photo by Cherrybomb’s iPhone.
I wish this photo could have showed Andy Falkous’ bulging neck veins from last night. Anyway, Future’s show last night at Neumo’s was one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen. Then AndYou Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead came on stage and blew what was left of Neumo’s roof right the fuck off.
A million thanks to Dr. H for GTFO with me last night and for making sure I had a drink in my hands at all times.
