Yet this chic, politically vibrant U.K. trio's sophomore album, "Back Home," has a contemporary sheen. Despite a host of critical huzzahs, events conspired to keep Big Joanie away from New York stages until this year; the group débuts as headliners in the city at Baby's All Right (July 10) and at Union Pool (July 12).
ART
Kevin Beasley
At the heart of this prodigious show of sculptures by the thirty-eight-year-old artist is "In an effort to keep," an audio installation built inside a small, enclosed room in the gallery. In Beasley's hands, preservation is an act of perception, as full of grace as it is quixotic, even twisted. (I recall the gutting sight of hooded sweatshirts at once memorialized and mummified in resin in "A view of a landscape," his 2018 exhibition at the Whitney Museum.) To create the sixteen-hour soundscape presented here, Beasley invited five performers-among them the choreographer-artist Ralph Lemon and the instrumentalist-composer L'Rain-to spend two days together, then recorded their conversations and the ambient noises of their shared space. One of the work's many feats is how it casts its audience as both silent confidants and interlopers. All thoughts and feelings about what it means to eavesdrop on Black people will depend on who's listening, and on what they think they overhear. Plan to sit and stay awhile.-Jennifer Krasinski (Casey Kaplan; July 28.)

The Football Bro - Pat McAfee brings a casual new style to ESPN.
If, on a cool weekend morning in autumn, you happen to be watching “College GameDay,” on ESPN, don’t worry about figuring out which of the broadcasters behind the improbably long desk is Pat McAfee. He’s the one with the roast-pork tan, his hair cut high and tight, likely tieless among his more businesslike colleagues. The rest of the onair crew—Lee Corso, Rece Davis, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, and, newly, the former University of Alabama coach Nick Saban—tend to look and dress and talk like participants in an old-school Republican-primary debate. McAfee, though, favors windowpane checks on his jackets and a slip of chest poking out from behind his two or three open buttons. If the others are politicians, he’s the cool-coded megachurch pastor who sometimes acts as their spiritual adviser.

On the Arctic border of Russia and Norway, an espionage war is emerging. The point of contact between NATO and Russia's nuclear stronghold is the small town of Kirkenes. For years, Russia has treated the area as a laboratory, testing intelligence and influence operations before replicating them across Europe.
