Are you ready for some football?!? Even if you're not, we've got the soundtrack for your Super Bowl weekend, with six new tracks to kick off your weekend (see what we did there??)! Sorrows - 'Out of My Head' (from Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow, Big Stir Records) Exploding Flowers - 'Crowded Streets' (from Watermelon/Peacock, Meritorio Records) Helen McCookerybook - 'Three Cheers for Toytown' (from Showtunes from the Shadows, Tiny Global Productions) Above Me - 'Grass Mouth' (from Above Me, Dandy Boy Records) Jetstream Pony - 'Bubblegum Nothingness' (from Bowerbirds and Blue Things, Spinout Nuggets/Shelflife) The False Dawns - 'The King of Bagel Mountain' (from Our Tanks, Your Lawn!, Subjangle) Forget about the Kendrick vs. Drake beef and Taylor Swift cutaways every two minutes...this is your Super Bowl entertainment! P.S. No, the guys in the episode cover image are NOT Uncle Gregg and Brett. In fact, if we knew more about football, we could tell you who they are. Coaches? Announcers? Anyway, we borrowed the picture from https://worldwideinterweb.com/the-stars-of-super-bowl-50-with-bowl-haircuts-gallery/ and thought it was funny, so credit where credit is due. P.P.S.
