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
Our EP was officially released on April 3rd at Church of Boston (with some wonderful bands – another post on that soon!) and we really felt the love from the Boston community leading up to the show. Here’s the run-down … Read More
We of The Motion Sick are wishing Bret Michaels the best after he suffered a massive brain hemorrhage, just days after getting an appendectomy. He has grappled with diabetes, and as a rocker of the late ’80s, probably lead quite … Read More
I think this awesomely hypnotic video is either used to get children to do their homework and eat their peas via subliminal behavior modification or it is to convince enemy spies to reveal their secrets. Also, it’s set to “Grace … Read More
Another hit! Stop-motion clay figure destruction set to the upbeat bop of “30 Lives (Up-Up-Down-Dance Mix)” can make anyone’s day better.
Yup. Nothing shocking here…but it does include “30 Lives”
Episode 1 – Arrival they had the flood lights on you saying you’re not gonna make it this time they beat your body took your will then they took your mind sent you back to me, said “get what you … Read More
Yup, “Losing Altitude” (instrumental) is a real tear-jerker…
Neither is a bad idea. “Losing Altitude” instrumental reminds you not to waste water.
Another yuck. This octopus is cooked and chopped to the delightful tune of “30 Lives”
Also not a random one…in fact, we posted it, but here are some ladies working out to “30 Lives (Up-Up-Down-Dance Mix)” as part of Cardio for Indie Rockers!
This one is less random, but it’s so awesome, that we can’t resist posting it. This gent totally freestyles it on a DDR machine to “30 Lives (Up-Up-Down-Dance Mix)” for us!
While legally, “30 Lives (Up-Up-Down-Dance Mix)” is awesome, I have no idea why it suited these law students to choose it for their montage of tomfoolery… They do have a countdown of reasons why they are awesome or something.
I don’t get it, but “30 Lives” and a motorcycle…
This one kind of makes sense. “Satellite” and satellite reception.
The title says it all. Instrumental “30 Lives” and petrol lawnmower repair.
Some other language, some weird optical illusions effects, and “30 Lives (Up-Up-Down-Dance Mix)”
Don’t get it, but hey… “30 Lives”
Yup, this is offensive and stupid and it used to use Green Day. Now, it uses “30 Lives (Up-Up-Down-Dance Mix)” – ugh…
Yup. Not much to say. This video is not safe for eyeballs, but here it is…horses mating to the romantical instrumental version of “Some Lonely Day”
Okay kids, things got really weird on Youtube. It’s a long story, but our music is available to Youtube video creators for use as background in their videos. We ended up in some strange, strange places. The horse-mating video tipped … Read More
The Motion Sick elected not to go down to SXSW this year (as we had the past two years). It just costs too much money and probably isn’t worth spending for unless you’ve got a high-buzz showcase (which ultimately means … Read More
