Last week the nominees for the 2009 MTVU Woodie Awards were announced, and of course peta2 was repped hard! The Woodie Awards come around every December just in time to give college students a much needed break from cramming for exams. The show always hosts an impressive list of performers, including Gym Class Heroes, All Time Low, Imogen Heap, and Vampire Weekend, and this year should be just as amazing!

Death Cab for Cutie and Yeah Yeah Yeahs are both nominated for Best Video, which has previously been won by Motion City Soundtrack and Say Anything. Overnight sensation and vegetarian heartthrob Christofer Drew (a.k.a. Never Shout Never) is up for the Breaking Woodie award, which was taken home by There for Tomorrow at last year's festivities. Other notable peta2 contenders include Tech N9ne for Left Field Woodie and P.O.S. in the category with the fiercest competition, Performing Woodie. I gotta say, I saw P.O.S. a few times during my stay on Warped Tour this year and he killed it! He's got my vote! Who are you voting for?

Despite my love for hardcore and pop-punk, I can't help but give love to the Gym Class Heroes for putting out infectiously awesome tracks that make me want to shake it! Recently I came across a video and some photos of vocalist Travis McCoy being silly and reppin' peta2 at the same time. What's better than that? Check it out ...

While Travis is typically a silly guy who's always cracking a joke, his "Unbeaten Track" project is anything but silly. For this project, Travis is embarking on multiple trips this summer to South Africa, the Philippines, and India to meet with young people who are running grassroots HIV and AIDS awareness projects. We love ya, Travie. Thanks for putting out good music, and having a big heart for both humans and animals alike.
