I’ve always thought monkeys were really awesome. I’ve got a bunch of monkey stuffed animals, I bought a giant inflatable monkey for last week’s Splash Wednesday show…everyone asked me what the monkey had to do with the beach. I told … Read More
From now on, whenever you see The Motion Sick anywhere, I will be replaced by a GQ model. I got the idea from the awesome decision by the Chinese olympic organizers to replace a real child singer with a cute … Read More

Not so much a WTF as a really funny kid video. This innovative young one finds a way to get access to the prizes in the claw game…
Yesterday, I decided to become a real person and get a ridiculously overradiating, overpowered phone. I actually really just wanted something to type documents while on the subway, but I found it a great challenge to find a device that … Read More
Thanks to everyone who joined us for a rainy day at the beach tonight at Church. Click on Patrick for some photos… …and The Lights Out doing “I Get Around”

A very late Metal Mondays. This week is a tribute to the fine TV show Metalocalypse featuring the band Dethklok. I’ve only seen the first season. It’s a pretty great parody of death metal and it captures a lot of … Read More

As you know by our tremendous physiques, if there’s one thing we’re into here in The Motion Sick land, it’s body-building. Also, we’re into ’80s dances. That’s the second thing. So, today, I present to you nature’s combination of these … Read More
The self-proclaimed Best Page in the Universe is pretty damn funny. It’s a guy’s rants on a variety of important topics including fashion. He is also the fellow behind I am better than your kids. What really hooked me was … Read More
Another one of my favorite blogs (maybe I will just post an OPML file of all of the blogs I read someday…) is a collection of found photos. It’s called riot rite right clit clip click and it’s one young … Read More
I had posted some live clips of Rock Plaza Central a bit back. They’ve now just released a music video for their great song, “I am an Excellent Steel Horse.” Robotic horses are our friends.

“The Russian government is in the process of drafting a law to make emo and goth music illegal, says the Moscow Times.” I am not a fan of the music, but really? The Times says the bill defines emos as … Read More
I only recently had pot pie for the first time, at an friends house. And, I immediately had to make one myself. I guess you miss some Americanisms when your Mother was not born here. The thought of combining meat … Read More
These are from forever ago, both recipes are from Vegan Italiano Stuffed Zucchini and Risotto with Peas. All I remember is that I was going to substitute some matzo meal for bread crumbs but that I accidentally (the containers are … Read More
I broke down and bought a mini cupcake pan, even though I think it’s against my morals. I was jealous at the last party that I was at, that everyone was eating store-bought mini cupcakes instead of my homemade concoctions, … Read More
By birthday request this time.
Animoto is a site where you can upload photos and music and it makes a dynamic slideslow of sorts. It’s kind of an interesting idea. I am not blown away by the results, but I didn’t really expect to be. … Read More
I guess this is an internet meme that has been going around for awhile, most recently the boys over at The Motion Sick Blog have compiled their own lists, which is where I first saw it. The 80s were really … Read More
In 1991, I was an avid Headbanger’s Ball viewer. I even met host Riki Rachtman at Lollapalooza 2. This video (though not all that “metal”) caught my eye. It was by a band called Bullet LaVolta. They toured with a … Read More
Okay, Last week, I decided to do Metal Mondays. I think I just decided to add a new feature. It’s called WTF Sundays. It will contain some of the finest things that Are Merely Willed Into Existence By The Internet … Read More

Thanks to everyone who voted for us and passed along our plea to all of their friends and enemies. As we had said, the competition was fierce and we were defeated by our good pals, The Luxury. Some of you … Read More

“What’s the story behind the site? Touring isn’t cheap or easy. We know, we’ve done it for years. We thought of this as a way for bands and music lovers to offer up their floor and couches. We’ve stayed in … Read More
I just made up that I might be doing a weekly thing called “Metal Monday.” This simply means that I’ll post something metally on every Monday that I remember to. Here’s the first one. It’s some later-era Judas Priest. Ridiculous … Read More
Here are a few photos from the Digital Bear Studio party. As usual, no flash was used… The New Collisions: The Patrick Dunn Band:
We’ve been searching for a while for a band to have a feud with. Music feuds are awesome and hilarious. Oasis vs. Blur. Neil Young vs. Lynyrd Skynyrd. It’s all good stuff. Anyway, yesterday at The Digital Bear Studio Party, … Read More
Check out Melophobe’s review of our show at TT’s here. It seems that they had a fun time. They also posted some awesome stylized pics. I’ll repost a couple here (hope they don’t mind), but head on over to them … Read More
