Philly Over All people : World Cafe

Final Sunday, Buck County-native Sabrina Carpenter gave a shoutout throughout her Grammy Award acceptance speech to Bala Cynwyd, the group on Philly’s Major Line the place she used to take voice classes. Identical to in 2018, that merely needs to be an indication that the Birds are, as soon as once more, taking the Tremendous Bowl this Sunday.

Right here at World Cafe, our Philly-based crew prides itself on its dedication to unbiased and fact-based music journalism … besides with regards to the Birds.

It has been two years because the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs went head-to-head on the championship stage, and Philly is primed for its redemption arc. Final month, the Eagles set a brand new report for essentially the most factors ever scored throughout an NFC championship sport, crushing the Washington Commanders 55-23. Jalen Hurts is on the prime of his sport, plus we’ve celebrity working again Saquon Barkley on the sector this yr.

In that spirit, we have up to date our “Superior Tremendous Bowl Playlist” with tons of Philly G.O.A.T.s: Jill Scott, Corridor & Oates, Boyz II Males, The Roots, The Conflict on Medication, The Delfonics, Alex G, and lots of extra. Tune in because the candy odor of an Eagles victory begins to waft via the air (or is that grease being smeared on the lamp posts down Broad Avenue?)

Both manner, a win is imminent. We’re positive of it. As positive as we’re that Jason Kelce is the cooler brother. Or, that West Studying-born Taylor Swift secretly wears silver and midnight inexperienced below all that Chiefs pink. Or, that it is spelled E-A-G-L-E-S. And, as positive as I’m that World Cafe govt producer Bruce Warren (aka, my boss) will give all of us the next Monday off if — no, when — the Eagles declare their victory this Sunday.

Benefit from the tunes, and go Birds.
