So while sitting at home barely working remotely and just whiling away my time til I shake la grippe, I've been scanning some music publications' "Best of 2014" lists. (Scheduling note: have yours prepared for the WGOM on Friday January 2, 2015.) In the middle of that, I've been sidetracked by Stereogum's "20th anniversary" series (...of albums that came out when I was in high school). Essays about Green Day and Beck and Soundgarden and Pearl Jam and Nine Inch Nails and the Offspring. It's weird, man. What am I doing? Why am I letting this give me insomnia after I've been aching to go to bed all day? Is there an essay for Alice In Chains' Dirt? Yes! (The Singles Soundtrack, too!) Ministry's Psalm 69? No. And Filth Pig sure doesn't deserve one. But Oh man, there are essays for Tool and Judgement Night and Sepultura and Björk and...
Wait! I should print these...

Dalton Pompey (1992)
In 2014, Dalton Pompey became the first big leaguer ever to have the given first name "Dalton".
As of last night, I've seen more of the History Channel's "Vikings" than I have the 2014 Minnesota Vikings. Which is to say, one full episode so far.
This one took a little bit, but their debut has really started to drag me in lately. As their name could perhaps imply, it's a subtle, but deep album.

My mom leaves today after five brutally quick days in Arizona. I'm sure I'll need another Minnesota fix soon.
