Faking Your Way Down the Super Bowl

If you're cherish me, this Sunday you will attend a Super Bowl party where you are faced with two distinct choices:

1) Recompense attention to America's Other Favourite Past-time, "foot"-ball (the first is shopping!); chat with the guys about all the residence runs they're throwing; and toss that ol' hogskin around the backyard.

2) Analog watch the commercials with all the other "foot"-ball neophytes, which is equally ridiculous. Commercials are entertainment? What? Maybe afterwards we can go to a museum and flash at Sunday sales circulars!

So in original years, I've opted for a third choice: gorge myself agnate foolish â " there went that "Tight End!" â " settle on headphones and cook my best to ignore as much of the proceedings as possible. (I spent 1997's Super Bowl party in the bathroom after my Discman's batteries died â " thank God for the iPod!) As a result, I've become quite the expert at faking my course through Super Bowl Sunday with a determinate playlist and little-known sports factoids.

PREGAME

The Pixies, "Here Comes Your Man"
The elementary factor to know about the Super Bowl: who's bringing the burgers? LOL. Seriously though, you need to know who is playing the game. This year it's the New England Patriots who posses never absent a game on account of football was invented, and the New York Giants who have the cuter Manning brother (see I know some stuff!). And so in attention of the Patriots we have the Boston band the Pixies doing "Here Comes Your Man." I have a dance deliberate for this one. Do the Patriots need an extra cheerleader? LOL.

Art Garfunkel, "Crying in the Rain"
But you can't be further one-sided! You never be cognizant which team's uniforms you are going to like more, so you can't play favorites. So in honor of that famous New York City toughness and determination, we have to pick Craft Garfunkel, whose no-holds-barred collaboration with James Taylor on "Crying in the Rain" really expresses what football is all about: being adult sufficiently to cry in the rain. Or score touch downs. They're both kinda the identical thing.

Protection Greenwood, "God Bless the USA"
By this point that guy from the Ace Hardware commercials is probably done blabbing and so it's duration for the state anthem. Boooo-ring! Seriously, if you aren't Whitney Houston in 1991, why much try? I've always liked "God Bless the USA" still more, so I listen to that instead. Holla!


Cardinal HALF

Dios Malos, "Starting Five"
Okay, you got me! This one is matchless "foot"-ball related in the title, on the other hand I'm so sick of hearing each debating during the game: "Who has the better starting five is it the Yankees or the Celtics or the 59rs or blah blah blah blah." Who cares! And so this song, so marvelous and sweet and just soooo California, is my own gorgeous little protest. As well "dios" means days. Did you know that? It's Espanol!

American Football, "I'll Study You When We're Both Not So Emotional"
American Football is a group formed by star quarterback-turned actor Joe Mantegna after poor darkness seeing forced a untimely departure from the game. Bummer! He didn't do it alone, though; that galloping bass you hear? That's legendary Pelicans running man Terry Bradshaw. Who's wielding that mighty axe? None other than Peyton Manning (and let's put a little extra emphasis on "Man"). And he used to bang pigskin, but now he bangs drumskins: let's give it up for Vince Lobotomy!

HALFTIME IS GAMETIME

Kutiman, "Music Is Ruling My Life"
Yeah! As the awesome flick Drumline says: "halftime IS gametime," and so it's future to bust out the biggest gun of them all: "Music Is Ruling My Life," which kinda sounds like Amy Wine-O (LOL) solitary it's some Israeli dude and Israeli chick and they are awesome. Seriously, this is the top song ever! It's the Super Bowl of music! Oh, and factoid alert! One of my favorite rappers ever used to be a "foot"-ball player: that's right, of course I'm talking approximately Deion Sanders. So obvious!

Black Heart Procession, "You Got Lucky"
While Tom (NOT VERY) P(R)etty is crowing elsewhere about "oppression" or "the radio" or "the free falling" on an huge stage, you can be enjoying a little stage I according to to bell "the sheet of transcendence." San Diego's gloomy Murky Hearts (not to be confused with latest year's Super Bowl victors of the duplicate name), treat this song right, pushing it into the "great wide open" like a couple of "refugee"s "running down a dream." I guess you could divulge we all "got lucky" with this one!

Moment HALF

Pavement, "Major Leagues"
Taken from what most people regard as their chief record is Stevie Malkmus & Co's touching tribute to Dominant League Football. But wait! Why does Stevie sound so glum? Maybe because he's fiery and we don't know each other â " yet! Really, though, Steve is a considerable sports fan â " for realsies â " and so that's where I'll be for next year's chock-full contest. I've got the plastic-tipped cigars, Mr. Pavement. Do you keep smooches?

The Walkmen, "The Rat"
This has kinda become the sports song, which is awesome! Maybe I determine like sports after all! They always use this when they're transitioning into commercials, and it's completetly chill because it's such a pump-you-up kinda song. I can't even baby about this one!

I expect this is the belongings of the game where they have the horses come gone on the field? Or was that earlier? Did I miss that!?!?!

POST-GAME CELEBRATING

The Decemberists, "The Sporting Life"
Oh indie rockers! So charming when you suck at sports. This song by Colin Meloy â " who I've heard plays a mean four square! â " is for all of you. And, whether my flair is correct, both Ronald Moss and Michael Vick! "The Sporting Life" is about a kid who plays "foot"-ball in high school and who is dreadful and gets all depressed about it. Don't cry cute jock boy! By the way does anyone else remember how beautiful James Vanderbeek was in Varsity Blues? Place me in that game, coach! Hahaha. Enjoy your Super Bowl everybody!

(Editor's Note: For the millions of us who discharge watch football, enjoy the game! Here's our prediction: neither defense testament do much (the Giants will get more coercion than expected, though), and the game will come down to Brady versus not Eli Manning, but Ahmed Bradshaw, who should give the Patriots' LBs fits â " if Coughlin gives him the ball that is. Ultimately though, the Pats accomplish arrange history: New England 38, Advanced York 27. Booty that to your nearest financial institution!)
