It Goes On, the scrappily invigorating full-length debut by the U.K. band Westside Cowboy, opens with one of the year’s most exciting rock songs. A rousing mess of relentlessly chugging guitars and shout-along vocals, “Kick Stones (The Boys)” has the spirited energy of a pub band that imagines it’s playing Wembley Stadium. As the song builds from jittery, tense strums and an insistent rhythmic pulse to a crescendo of noise and hoisted lager sprays, the idea that this band might actually play in a real stadium one day suddenly seems, shockingly, plausible. According to singer/guitarist Jimmy Bradbury and drummer Paddy…

“Classical heroes reflected in concave mirrors produce the Esperpento,” declares Max Estrella, the tragicomic, impoverished poet of Bohemian Lights (Luces de Bohemia), the play by Spanish author Valle-Inclán which initiated the artistic movement ‘esperpento’. Roughly translated as ‘grotesque farce’ or ‘degenerate tragedy’, it is a more appropriate lens than Nolan’s Odyssey through which to look at our contemporary Western world. “The most beautiful images in a concave mirror produce a mathematical absurdity. My present aesthetic is to transform classical norms with the mathematics of the concave mirror,” continues Max, himself a caricature of a romantic bohemian poet. Written in the…

ATLANTA — Lefty Tarik Skubal hasn’t had time to fully reflect on his time in Detroit. When he learned at the beginning of the month that he was being traded to the Dodgers, he had one night of emotional goodbyes, before shifting his focus the next morning to preparing to face the Cubs in a few days.Friday won’t be the right time either. He’s scheduled to take the mound against the Tigers, the only organization he’d played for up until three and a half weeks ago, in the series opener.“I play baseball, and I don’t really want to let any noise or…

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro publicly rebuked Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Thursday, accusing the longtime vaccine skeptic of delivering a “tirade” of conspiracies when the two spoke about an ongoing measles outbreak that has killed two people in the state.  On Tuesday, Kennedy took to social media, writing that at a recent press conference about the outbreak, Gov. Shapiro had falsely claimed that there was no fetal tissue in the Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccine. Shapiro is, in fact, correct. The claim that the MMR vaccine contains cells belonging to aborted fetuses is a long standing, repeatedly…
