Song: "Get Up"
Artist: Sleater-Kinney
Album: The Hot Rock (1999)
This is one of my favorite SK songs. I wasn't a huge fan of The Woods, their last effort released in 2005 before calling it quits a year later, but all of their stuff prior to that was just phenomenal. This song epitomizes what Sleater-Kinney was all about. Thoughtful and insightful, yet fun and playful. Everyone should give this a listen.
Best line: "Fall down on the world before it falls on you"
As a bonus note, fans of drummer Janet Weiss can hear her laying down the beat on the new Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks song "Baltimore" right here.

After listening to this a couple of times over the past few days I:
1.)Love it. It does epitomize what SK was during when they were great, which oddly enough was before I got into them.
2.)Miss 120. Somewhere in our archives lie just about every 120 Minutes from your junior and senior years of high school. It's funny to look back at the musical dedication you had as a 17 year old. Especially that we'd wake up a little earlier on Monday's to try to find a few songs between showering and brushing our teeth before taking the hour-long journey to school.
