The poles have been greased. The cheesesteaks and tomato pie have been ordered. Now all that’s left to do is kick back (kick forward? We’re not being casual about this game here, people) and watch the Philadelphia Eagles take on the Kansas City Chiefs in New Orleans for Super Bowl LIX.
This week, XPN Morning Show host Kristen Kurtis asked listeners to weigh in with songs that best reflect how they’re feeling heading into the big game. The result is the community-curated playlist you can listen to below. The first 15 songs were broadcast in the 9:00 hour of the XPN Morning Show this week; we’ve also included an additional 10 bonus tracks for the website.
Lean in, listen up, cheer on — be safe! — and most importantly, GO BIRDS! 🦅🦅🦅
