Sloan - Never Hear the End of It

30 tracks of great power pop from Nova Scotia's shouldn't-be-obscure-in-the-US Sloan.

This is one of those "four band members who all write great songs" bands, and they've been around for quite a while. It's funny that sometimes the take on Sloan is that they're "too consistent", as if putting out albums that are well-crafted and melodic is a problem?

Well, it's certainly not a problem here, 9 albums in.

Amazon delivered a record today in a much bigger box than I was expecting. It turns out the record was in the usual LP mailer... But then they put that inside another box.

(The album was "Steady," the latest release from Sloan.)

The 2023 Research Fellowships have just been announced: sloan.org/fellowships/2023-Fel . I have just completed my last year on serving on the Mathematics selection committee for these fellowships; though it involved substantial work and many difficult choices, I am glad that I was able to contribute to this program.

Next was a great talk by Chris Rider on and the 's at the Analytics Conference. It's still difficult to determine if the Rooney Rule actually works, and Rider does an excellent job pinning down the big problems in achieving representation parity in the NFL and throws down the gauntlet on how organizations can contribute to actually making a dent in this problem. Highly recommend youtube.com/watch?v=XDsCDM1QsF (3/9)

Next was a nice panel on the state of at the Analytics Conference with Bill James, Cole Figueroa, Doug Fearing, and Nate Silver. As an industry, baseball is arguably farther along in than any. Watching this from an industry perspective is fascinating, but also how the focus has only just started to shift to metrics outside the field of play youtube.com/watch?v=IVH6F4k2aa (3/6)

Next was an engaging panel on the state of at the Analytics Conference with Brant Berglund, Meghan Chayka, Dominic Moore, Namita Nandakumar, and Greg Wyshynski. It's interesting contrasting hockey with (American) football, as it's more free flowing and harder to seperate out different outcomes, and struck me as more similar to more broadly.

In honor of the , first was a fantastic panel on developing and using (American) with Brian Burke, Kevin Demoff, Sarah Mallepalle, Mitchell Schwartz, and Kevin Clark at the Analytics Conference. folks, pay attention - this is how you use analytics within organizations. This stellar panel showed in sharp relief that the sports world is decades ahead of industry in the area. Highly recommend youtube.com/watch?v=ZBa5bik6tH (2/5)

I've spent the past four days with a song in my head (really just the tune) and I swore it was Eric Matthew's. Hand to God; that's what I thought. It wasn't. I finally found the song. It's a Sloan song. Damn. My senility is going to be off the hook! (Imagine TV's Frank saying that last bit.)

Listening to Anyway Gang's debut album. They are a rock supergroup consisting of members from , , , and . I don't end up listening to it too often because its a 45 RPM disc and I need to remove the platter to switch the belt between spindles.
