The Get Up Kids

Overview

I was sitting at home a few Sundays ago watching Great Migrations, feeling indolent and pointless. I thought, it’s bloody cool that animals have to undertake amazing feats just for the survival of themselves and their species. Disgustingly divergent, I sat with my microwave dinner in complete comfort, observing the incredible behavior of fauna, and it was that moment when I got up and decided to quit wasting away and get up and do something - perhaps even something beneficial to the survival of my species. So I turned my iTunes to shuffle and some classic punk came on - I was listening to The Get Up Kids and my disposition turned around. It was one small step that led to a chain of good events throughout my week.

I guess you wouldn’t understand unless you experience it for yourself, so how do you remedy this? First step: get off your MacBook Pro. The Get Up Kids are playing at the Hi-Fi and if you don’t know what’s good for you, I do! Skate to your friends house, take them to drink some White Rabbit dark ale at Archive then cross the road, go and see them play and feel alive.
