We had the distinct pleasure of performing on Bay State Rock with Carmelita on WAAF on 06/27/2010. We took “acoustic” to its most epic and silly conclusion, ukulele and glockenspiel, of course! Because we didn’t think that playing our drums/bass … Read More

At least I was. Okay, still am. Before I get to that, I’ve got a million blog posts to write for this blog, but I keep getting distracted and wondering if they should go in separate blogs or what. I … Read More
Strange Vids Featuring TMS: Robot Dancing to “30 Lives (Up-Up-Down-Dance Mix)”

Embedding is disabled on this one, which kind of makes me angry, but these guys are using “Surfin’ Retiree” to sell some $3.4 million beachfront property. That makes me laugh…
Strange Vids Featuring TMS: douchebag sits on tiny horse…while listening to “Surfin’ Retiree”

Strange Vids Featuring TMS: Thanks for 100 views and for “30 Lives”
This individual made a video thanking people that another video they made has surpassed 100 views…and they thought The Motion Sick’s “30 Lives” was the right accompaniment. I can’t argue with them there.

“30 Lives” and funny animals. Nothing more to say.

“A Tribute to the Delta’s great 767” – sure…what the heck? As someone who gets motion sick (true), I am not all that fond of air travel, but I guess it’s better if it’s soundtracked by “Satellite” by The Motion … Read More

Strange Vids Featuring TMS: More horrific than horses? Yes, these kids dancing to “Jean-Paul” disturbs me more…
Yup, some young girls moving their hips to “Jean-Paul” is extremely disturbing. Then, suddenly, their little male friend runs onto the scene in his underwear and shakes his butt. This video is bad, bad, bad. I don’t like it. I … Read More

Strange Vids Featuring TMS: Terrifyingly hypnotic video about a Barbie dance set to “Grace Kelly”

Strange Vids Featuring TMS: Kind of digging this Mr. Bill-esque clay-man destruction video set to “30 Lives”
