I’ve never read any Harry Potter books nor seen any of the film versions, but it’s pretty obvious that one or two other people have. Admittedly, I thought it was kind of funny, albeit mean, when those kids ran around … Read More
They are reaching into the future a little bit, but The Phoenix ran a really kind writeup about our upcoming Stache Wednesday Show including some little features about the acts playing: “If the stylings of the Sick are as yet … Read More

You may all be wondering why I’m posting about metal on Mondays (late, as today is Tuesday) on a blog centered on our far less metal band, The Motion Sick. Well, partly I am hoping to instill a sense of … Read More
This guitar amp has 23 tubes and an R-rated name!!!!! I don’t understand why there are no audio demos in the video, but I want one of these. Only $5000 and from what I can gather, it overheats and explodes … Read More
Electric Laser People (performing tomorrow as superhero league Michael Phelps & The Defenders of Freedom) are a rip-rockin’, hip-hoppin’, electro-funk dance party…without too much of the funk (I don’t like funk). They bring the party, use the party up, … Read More
Adam Ritchie from The Lights Out (who I promise to retroactively write an Ash Wednesday feature for, as they were part of Splash Wednesday – the week before I decided to write features on the bands), pointed me to a … Read More

Four days before my 24th birthday, I’ve lost my last baby tooth. I’ve been holding on to a sliver of bone between two of my back teeth, for, well, just about my whole life. My dentist said if it didn’t … Read More
I guess there is this crazy new show called Yo Gabba Gabba that teaches kids how to shake their thangs to outre music. I’ve only watched these two clips, but I am almost ready to declare that it just may … Read More

Today is Arthur Ashe Wednesday, which means that The Motion Sick will be rocking out at Church (rock club) in Boston (did we mention FREE!!!) and serving non-stop aces at you! The theme song for the night, “Tennis Pro” is … Read More
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

I am not really a fan of most snack chips. In fact, the only snack-chip kind of thing I really ever eat is pretzels and I haven’t even been eating those much. I have basically always completely hated potato chips. … Read More
I wish I had thought to do this last week for our first residency show. Perhaps I’ll go back and add features for those bands when I have a chance. This week, however, you’ll get a little peek at each … Read More
For all you Brazilian thrashers out there, here’s a bit of Sepultura doing “Dead Embryonic Cells.” The lyrics are kind of hilarious in a silly metal sort of way (see last week’s post on Metalocalypse). I was talking to a … Read More

Another installment of photos of things I randomly came across. We’ll start with a couple of things related to Splash Wednesday… …and ending on a somber note…
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
