This isn't me, as much as it may seem

The Get Up Kids - Second Place

If the awesomeness of The Get Up Kids could be calculated mathematically and plotted on a coordinate plane (in which the x axis represents chronological time and the y axis represents awesomeness, in incriments of ten), the highest point on the graph would be the part at the end of the first chorus of "Second Place", when the guitars hush for a moment and Matt Pryor unhinges his jaw to let out the line, "THEN YOU'VE GOT BIGGER PROBLEMS THAN ME." Go dig out your copy of the Woodson EP. It is better than you remember.

Buy it from Amazon if you had an incomplete teenage experience and somehow do not own this album.
