FOOTBALL!

You guys like football?

I should have named this blog Nostalgia For Later so it could have the same initials as the NFL. That's how much I like football!

Super Bowl Sunday is here and I got some music that will surely pump you up for this glorious time of year!

American Football - American Football (1999)

Mike Kinsella (brother of Tim Kinsella) does an amazing job mixing a beauty of sound with emotion and delicate technicality. Along with Steve Lamos the drummer from the short lived math rock band, The One Up Downstairs, and Steve Holmes, American Football played some really chill music... About Football...

Many of their fits include: "You Know I Should Be Leaving Soon For the Big Game", "I'll See You When We're Both Not So Emotional Because Neither of Our Favorite Teams Made it Into the Super Bowl", "Stay Home. That Way You Can Watch the Funny Commercials and Then Put on Something Else When The Half Time Show Comes On" and many many more!

Friday Night Lights Soundtrack - Explosions in the Sky and Various Artists

From NFL to FNL

Explosions did this nation and West Texas a great deed when they excepted the challenge to score the great 2004 football smash hit, Friday Night Lights. Nothing says football like slow crescendoing into an onslaught of crash cymbals and whaling guitars. Actually though, a lot of the songs don't get to the crashing part and go nowhere, which I prefer at this point. They also took their stand out track from The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place, "Your Hand in Mine", shortened it and put some strings to it. Why? Football is why!

The Soundtrack also comes with a track by Bad Company called "Seagull" and two more by Daniel Lanois and David Torn.

Giants - Old Stories (2008)

Even though I might be rooting for the other team tonight, the Giants do play some stunning post rock. Something about post rock and football...
