Review: BTS’s Be is sublime comfort pop for the soul in lockdown - Vox.com

Posted: 20 Nov 2020 11:08 PM PST

What do you do after you've made world history by becoming the first Korean band — and only the third band ever — to hit the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100?

If you're BTS, apparently you keep on working. On Friday, the much-adored K-pop group released Be, their first album since February's Map of the Soul: 7 dropped at the beginning of the pandemic, and since its summer bop "Dynamite" became their first top-charting single in the US.

"Dynamite," not incidentally BTS's first single entirely in English, seemed to be born out of a recognition that the band was somehow too complex to get American radio play. It was in many ways a major departure from their typical approach to their craft.

So when BTS announced a new album, the question loomed about what kind of album Be would, uh, be: whether it would venture still further away from their previous musical and collaborative styles, or represent a return to their typical mix of rock and hip-hop with the occasional lighter pop thrown in.

Be is a short album, with just seven new tracks alongside "Dynamite." But nearly all of them are sublime. Taken as a whole, they form a seamless litany of bops intended to commemorate and celebrate getting through the Covid-19 pandemic. Musically, Be is pure pop, all the way down — a loudly retro mix of pop sounds ranging from frothy to funky, melancholic to mellow, filtered through a lens of determined positivity.

The band's harder, more anthemic sound, which put them on the map and landed their fantastic single "On" at the fourth spot on the Billboard Hot 100 in February, is absent here. And that's fine, because the album's message seems to be about staying light, upbeat, and grasping hope wherever possible. As many parts of the US are reentering states of crisis, Be is like a deliberate road map for how we can all get through the next few months: singalongs, good humor, and reliance on the bonds that keep us close.

Be is both a proclamation and a promise. It's okay to rest, it says: to simply exist, to survive, to be. In that sense, the album's auditory shift toward total pop feels like a completely necessary response to a very difficult year — and indeed, it's intended to be.

Be opens with the band's newest single, "Life Goes On," which dropped at midnight on Friday alongside the album itself. Its theme — the pandemic — is immediately obvious from the accompanying music video, which was directed by band member Jeon Jungkook and opens with a lonely V (Kim Taehyung) driving down a mostly empty highway. He's intercut with shots of Jungkook glancing wistfully outside his window, as they both reminisce about how "one day the world stopped."

One by one, the other band members join in, singing good-naturedly about how even though they miss company and activity, even though they're pursued by melancholy, one day life will return to normal. It's a sweet, singable song that finds positivity in simplicity — about what you'd expect from a collaboration with songwriter Antonina Armato, who incidentally also wrote the best song ever written: "Bet On It" from High School Musical 2.

"Fly to My Room" is next, a jaunty song with a cute Ariana Grande-ish vibe that's all about turning your room into a fantasy world tour because you're stuck inside and can't leave. It's adorable, and I love it. There's a faint gospel vibe to both these songs — they wouldn't feel out of place in, say, a Charlie Puth collaboration — that sets the stage for everything to come. This is pop music as meditation, as solace, as an expression of faith.

The band's thematic material will be familiar to fans. Here as always, BTS frankly discuss things like mental health and the pressure that goes along with fame. But Be stays airy, even when its lyrics are moody. Each of Be's eight tracks, including album-closer "Dynamite" and a spoken-word skit in which they poke fun at themselves for being chart-toppers, comes across like a personal reminder that we're all in this together. Even the album's lush ballad "Blue & Grey" maintains this feeling of warm energy, although it's explicitly about dealing with depression and pandemic-induced loneliness. After all, even though the boys say, "I am singing by myself," they're still all singing together.

There's a confessional quality to this number, not only because members of the group co-wrote it — the band co-wrote the entire album — but because BTS's gorgeous vocals are often the melodic equivalent of an ASMR session. Taekook's breathy opening verse, followed by Suga and J-Hope's laidback rhymes, all feel like someone whispering at you across your pillow. (Hiss Noise, who produced Taehyung's two lovely solo ballads, "Winter Bear" and "Sweet Night," also co-wrote "Blue & Grey," and the same soothing ambiance is immediately recognizable.) Then there's Jimin's plaintive, cheery tenor, which always turns him into the cuddliest, secret-keeping member of your slumber party. BTS are pros at creating this kind of intimacy between artist and listenerer — and here, applying that skill to the creation of what I hereby christen "comfort pop" feels like a public service.

That brings me to "Telepathy" and "Stay," both tracks that deal with the band missing their fans by converting their loneliness into peppy optimism. The flamboyantly autotuned "Telepathy," the only song that comes close to being a dud for me, still feels like a musical thumbs-up and a change of pace, reminiscent of a quirkier K-pop band like Block B rather than BTS. "Stay," on the other hand, is exactly my jam: a multi-layered song that starts out channeling the retro '90s vibe of BTS's earlier 2020 song "Moon" — my favorite song of the year — before opening up into a breezy EDM beat.

In discussing the specific sound of "Moon" recently with Switched on Pop's Charlie Harding, I realized that both it and "Stay" are channeling a specific flavor of early-90s pop that gives me an instant serotonin boost. You're lucky I even stopped looping "Stay" to listen to the rest of this album.

In both "Tapestry" and "Stay," BTS does that thing they frequently do where the band directly addresses its fandom as a specific "you." Ordinarily, I find this trait to be off-putting rather than sweet, even though it's just the kind of personalization Army adores. And even though I love "Stay," I'm definitely not sure if we needed two different songs about this theme in an album that's already shorter than usual.

But it's also undeniable that in this period of quarantine, social distancing, and separation, you can never have too many sonic hugs. Be's songs are all explicit distractions, meant to acknowledge our collective humanitarian angst and then redirect it toward something happier. Even the title of the most explicitly grim song, "Dis-Ease," ostensibly about Covid-19 itself, is a pun on the idea of unease rather than a direct confrontation of illness. Its anxiety gets channeled through a fabulous spin cycle of musical motifs, a hip-hop beat set to funk horn and guitars with an old-school boy band chorus. It's all backing snarky raps full of humor and wordplay, and it becomes about facing — and overcoming — a more generalized internal doubt.

It's as if the pandemic has scaled back the emotional bandwidth of this album. Bitterness, frustration, and despair may be present, but they have no place in the hallowed space of contemplation that BTS has carved out for themselves.

In this context, "Dynamite," which I had my reservations about, feels like the perfect exclamation point when it closes out Be — a fun, vibrant future fantasy whose lyrical nonsense becomes part of the album's determinedly escapist milieu.

Be doesn't feel like a permanent shift away from the band's varied framework so much as, perhaps, a timely thesis statement. Be tells us, clearly and delightfully, what BTS is and what it wants to be. And what the band wants to be is a source of positivity, hope, and gladness.

In this, BTS has clearly succeeded. Sparkle on, you funky diamonds, and please keep doing what you're doing — it may not be considered essential work, but it's definitely essential art.

When will we shine through the city again with a little funk and soul? Soon, BTS promises, and who are we to argue?

Dortmund star Haaland wins 2020 Golden Boy award - Goal.com

Posted: 20 Nov 2020 10:42 PM PST

The Norwegian graced Saturday's Tuttosport front page as the best player aged 21 or under from a top-tier league in Europe.

Borussia Dortmund star Erling Haaland has been rewarded for his stunning exploits, named the 2020 Golden Boy recipient.

The prize, presented by Italian newspaper Tuttosport and won by Joao Felix last year, is given to the best player aged 21 or under from a top-tier league in Europe.

And Norway international Haaland – the leading contender – graced Saturday's front page of Tuttosport, beating the likes of Dortmund team-mate Jadon Sancho, Bayern Munich's Alphonso Davies, Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood and Barcelona sensation Ansu Fati to the award.

Haaland scored 44 goals across all competitions in 2019-20 – 16 of those coming in 18 appearances after a mid-season move from Austrian champions Salzburg to Bundesliga outfit Borussia Dortmund.

Goal 50 Revealed: The best 50 players in the world

Among all Bundesliga players last season to have scored at least 10 goals, only Bayern star Robert Lewandowski (81.2) had a better minutes-per-goal record than Haaland (81.7).

Haaland has six goals in as many Bundesliga appearances for last season's runners-up Dortmund this term.

The 20-year-old has found the back of the net four times through three Champions League fixtures in 2020-21, taking his tally to 11 goals from 11 matches across all competitions.

Haaland continues to be linked with a blockbuster switch from Dortmund amid reported interest from the likes of LaLiga champions Real Madrid and Premier League giants United.

But his father Alf-Inge Haaland told SPORT1 during the week: "When you play well, it's only logical that big clubs knock on your door, but we're talking about speculation here.

"At the moment it's not in Erling's or my head that another club will be vying for him. We signed a long contract with Dortmund and they have a fantastic team for Erling right now. We don't want to look any further ahead."

Asked if the close season could bring about a move, he added: "You never know what will happen. We haven't talked about such a step yet. I think he would like to win some trophies with Dortmund. That is his goal. Erling can still achieve a lot in Germany and make great progress. Moving abroad is not a priority for us.

"I sometimes think he wants to and can assert himself in any league. At the moment, he is happy in the Bundesliga and focused on Dortmund. He just wants to be a better player and doesn't look too far ahead."

New England Revolution vs. Montreal Impact - Football Match Report - November 20, 2020 - ESPN

Posted: 20 Nov 2020 08:42 PM PST

Gustavo Bou's goal five minutes into second-half stoppage time gave the New England Revolution a dramatic 2-1 victory over the Montreal Impact in an MLS Cup playoff play-in match on Friday in Foxborough, Mass.

The eighth-seeded Revolution advance to play either the top-seeded Philadelphia Union or second-seeded Toronto FC on Tuesday.

New England threatened throughout the closing minutes, yet off-target shots and some big saves from Montreal goalkeeper Clement Diop seemed to set the path for overtime.

In the 95th minute of play, however, Bou was open for a big right-footed shot from just outside the box that found its way into the net. Bou had gone scoreless in New England's last nine regular-season games.

Carles Gil's first goal of 2020 gave the Revs the lead in the 38th minute, as Bou chipped a pass into the box that found Gil for the conversion. After scoring 10 goals in his debut season with New England in 2019, Gil was hampered by injuries this season and went scoreless in six regular-season contests.

Tajon Buchanan's presence on the wings was a big part of the Revolution's attack, but Buchanan left the game with an apparent leg injury in the 50th minute. Between Buchanan's departure and three Impact substitutions in the first 12 minutes of the second half, ninth-seeded Montreal suddenly found the momentum for the equalizer.

In the 61st minute, forward Romell Quioto's well-placed header drew the Impact level. It was Quioto's first career MLS postseason goal after he led the Impact with eight goals in the regular season.

That set the stage for a tense finale, as both teams threatened prior to Bou's final strike. New England's Matt Polster nearly scored an own goal in the 91st minute, and Diop made a big save on an Adam Buksa header a minute later.

For Montreal, under the first-year tutelage of World Cup winner Thierry Henry, the loss caps off a season where the Canadian side had to play the latter part in the U.S. due to coronavirus travel restrictions.

"Personally, I have nothing bad to say about the desire of my team tonight. I'm proud of them and of the season they had on the emotional level with everything they had to go through. They fought until the end," Henry said after the match.

The ex-Arsenal and Barcelona great added: "Allowing a goal like that in the last second of the game hurts. It could have happened before with New England having a few chances. We have to congratulate New England for what they did."

The Revolution recorded their first playoff victory since the 2014 season while New England manager Bruce Arena recorded his 33 career playoff win, the most of any coach in MLS history.

"I thought both teams played extremely hard. Give Montreal credit. They battled for 95 minutes. We scored, I think, two outstanding goals. And it's nice to get both Carles and Gustavo back on the field together. I just think we played well," the ex-DC United and LA Galaxy boss added.

On Bou's goal, Arena said: "I don't think we're anticipating that he's going to get them all the time in the 95th minute, but that's what Gustavo does. He's a goal scorer. He's a good player, but his DNA is scoring goals. It's great to see that he got one tonight. I think that's going to help his confidence because it's probably been awhile since he's scored a goal. I think that was a great goal for him and certainly a great win for our team."

『ストレンジャー・シングス』シーズン4に『ハリポタ』『GOT』俳優らがレギュラー加入 - フロントロウ

ドラマ『ストレンジャー・シングス』のシーズン4に出演する新たなキャストたちが一挙発表。その顔ぶれには、ドラマ『ゲーム・オブ・スローンズ(GOT)』や映画『ハリー・ポッター』といったヒット作に出演した役者たちも。(フロントロウ編集部)

『ストレンジャー・シングス』シーズン4に8人のキャストが加入

 新型コロナウイルスの影響による一時中断を経て、10月から撮影がスタートしたNetflixのオリジナルシリーズ『ストレンジャー・シングス 未知の世界』のシーズン4。

 撮影休止を余儀なくされたことで、"撮影をしながら脚本を書き進める"というシーズン1から続けてきた方法ではなく、すべての脚本を仕上げたうえで撮影を行なうという、異なるスタイルで制作が進められている同シーズンは、あらすじや既存のメインキャラクターたちの運命に関しては、まだほとんどの部分が謎のベールに包まれている。

 そんなシーズン4では、物語の舞台の1つとして、ある精神科病院が登場することが米Deadlineの報道で明らかに。さらに、同シーズンにレギュラー出演するキャストやリカーリングキャラクター(※)を演じる計8人の俳優たちも同時に発表された。

※一般的には、ゲストとして登場するが、ストーリー展開上の必要性や、演じた俳優の魅力や人気に応じて、その後のエピソードでも起用されたり、レギュラーに格上げされたりする可能性があるキャラクター

『ハリポタ』や『ゲーム・オブ・スローンズ』のあの俳優も

 精神科病院で働く用務係のピーター・バラードに配役されたのは、映画『ハリー・ポッターと死の秘宝PART1』と『ファンタスティック・ビーストと黒い魔法使いの誕生』で若き日のゲラート・グリンデルバルドを演じた俳優のジェイミー・キャンベル・バウアー。

画像1: 『ハリポタ』や『ゲーム・オブ・スローンズ』のあの俳優も

 シーズン4のレギュラーキャラとなるピーターは、精神科病院で毎日のように目の当たりにしている残虐な行為に嫌気が差し、このままでいいのかと疑問を抱く青年だという。

 ちなみに、ジェイミーは、『ゲーム・オブ・スローンズ』の未公開のプロットエピソードに出演したが、スケジュールの都合により、彼が演じた役は本編では別の俳優が演じた。

 チャーリー・ヒートン演じるジョナサン・バイヤーズ(ノア・シュナップ演じるウィル・バイヤーズの兄)の新たな親友となる、ピザ屋の青年アーガイルを演じるのは、俳優のオリヴィア・ワイルドの監督デビュー作のコメディ映画『ブックスマート卒業前夜のパーティーデビュー』でいい味を出していたエドゥアルド・フランコ。

画像2: 『ハリポタ』や『ゲーム・オブ・スローンズ』のあの俳優も

 アーガイルもシーズンレギュラーで、お気楽で、ピザの配達に情熱を燃やす、なごみ系キャラだそう。

 ホーキンス高校の公式ダンジョンズ&ドラゴンズ部の部長エディ―・マンソンを演じるのは、ドラマ『ゲーム・オブ・スローンズ』のシーズン7にスターク家に忠誠を誓う戦士コーナー役で出演したジョセフ・クイン。

画像3: 『ハリポタ』や『ゲーム・オブ・スローンズ』のあの俳優も

 ジョセフが演じるエディ―が取り仕切るダンジョンズ&ドラゴン部の名称は「ザ・ヘルファイア・クラブ」。以前、『ストレンジャー・シングス』の公式ツイッターでダスティン役のゲイテン・マタラッツォが、この部のロゴが入ったTシャツを着用した姿が公開されたことから、少なくともダスティンは、シーズン4でこの部に加入するものとみられる。

 エディ―もシーズン4を通して登場するレギュラーキャラクター。

 以下はリカーリングキャスト。

 1950年代に残虐な犯罪を犯し、以来、精神科病院に収容されている恐ろしい患者ヴィクター・クリールを演じるのは、映画『エルム街の悪夢』で主人公の殺人鬼フレディ・クルーガーを演じたロバート・イングランド。

 ホーキンスの人々を魔の手から守ろうとその方法を模索する頭脳派のコロネル・サリバン警部補役には、ドラマ『ウエスト・ワールド』のシャーマン・オーガスタスが、ホーキンス高校に通うリッチでイケメンな男子高校生のジェイソン・カーヴァ―を演じるのはドラマ『ティーン・ウルフ』のメイソン・ダイがキャスティングされた。

 ロシア・カムチャッカ半島で捕虜となったデヴィッド・ハーバー演じるジム・ホッパーとの絡みが見込まれる、ロシア人キャラクターたちに抜擢されたのは、ドラマ『ゲーム・オブ・スローンズ』で、外見を変えることが出来る暗殺者の組合"顔のない男たち"の一員ジャクェン・フ=ガーを演じたトム・ヴラシアと映画『ワールド・ウォーZ』の二コラ・ジュリコ。

Aggies Develop Mobile Solution For Finding Elderly Care - Texas A&M Today - Texas A&M University Today

Even before the coronavirus pandemic hit, finding elderly care was becoming more difficult in the United States. Trying to find the right facility while balancing budget, health concerns and time were challenges that COVID-19 compounded. An interdisciplinary team of student researchers from Texas A&M University are working toward a mobile solution.

"Dealing with the mental trauma of watching a loved one's memories and mental faculties deteriorate is difficult enough," said team member TJ Falohun, biomedical engineering doctoral student. "Individuals in this position should not have to struggle to find the information that they need to make the best decision on finding care for their loved one."

With their application, Olera, the team aims to provide a resource for children or spouses of elderly individuals in need of professional care and connects them to local care options. While the name Olera doesn't stand for anything, Falohun said it evokes a feeling of balance, lightness and tranquility that represents the vision of their venture.

"This not only lowers the stress involved with finding care, but it drastically reduces the time that this process would otherwise take," said member Carter Radocha, a computer engineering junior. "Upon logging in, users will have the ability to filter local facilities by price, location and offered medical services, information that would otherwise be time consuming to obtain."

The team, which also includes business administration graduate student Logan DuBose, biomedical engineering senior Jesse Phipps and biomedical engineering graduate student Chidinma Nzedibe, formed through participation in Sling Health, a student organization in which groups tackle unmet clinical needs in interdisciplinary teams. The members wanted to address Alzheimer's and dementia.

Before they even began app development, they needed more information on what needs there were in the elder care community. Team members participated in the National Science Foundation's Innovation Corps (I-Corps) Site Fellows Program at Texas A&M this summer, where they interviewed 40 people familiar with the process of searching for elderly care. This helped them learn about one of the greatest challenges they would have to address — a lack of knowledge on what to do when a loved one needs to be moved to a long-term care facility.

"We imagine that our service will redefine how people seek senior care," Radocha said. "Having one consolidated resource that is simplified and easy to use for anyone can significantly reduce the time spent seeking out care and increase first time matching of a care option for a senior."

Magda Lagoudas, executive director industry/nonprofit partnerships in the College of Engineering, said the program has impacted more than 100 student teams such as Olera on campus by providing training, mentor support and funding.

"It was great working with Olera in the site program this summer, and I am super excited to see them continue their work on a very important issue for our society," Lagoudas said.

Moving forward, the team plans to launch a limited beta test to test and refine the product. They also are focusing on entrepreneurial efforts, are now in the process of forming an LLC and connecting with early adopters interested in their service.

"Less than a year ago, Olera was nothing but an idea," Falohun said. "Currently, we have a hardworking team of eight students, a prototype and several early adopters who are eager for our product launch. By keeping the needs of our users first, we believe we can overcome any obstacles that may arise and create a digital platform that will revolutionize elderly and dementia care."

Donald Trump Jr. tests positive for coronavirus - CNN

Posted: 20 Nov 2020 04:08 PM PST

"Don tested positive at the start of the week and has been quarantining out at his cabin since the result," the spokesman said. "He's been completely asymptomatic so far and is following all medically recommended COVID-19 guidelines."
Bloomberg was first to report Trump Jr.'s positive result.
Trump Jr. becomes the latest figure close to the President to test positive for Covid-19. In addition to himself, first lady Melania Trump, his youngest son Barron, his chief of staff Mark Meadows and a number of other top aides both in his campaign and in the White House have tested positive in recent months.
Trump Jr.'s girlfriend, Kimberly Guilfoyle, also tested positive for the virus over the summer as the duo campaigned for Trump throughout the country.
Trump Jr. was among the roughly 250 guests who attended the White House's indoor election night party, where nearly every attendee was seen not wearing a mask. Other party attendees have since tested positive, including Meadows, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson and White House political affairs director Brian Jack.
Trump Jr. has spread a significant amount of misinformation about the coronavirus. Late last month, he told Fox News that the number of deaths from Covid-19 is now "almost nothing." Over the summer, his Twitter account was restricted for sharing a video that spread false information about the drug hydroxychloroquine and he shared a Facebook meme spreading doubt about the effectiveness of masks against the coronavirus.
The news comes as Covid is spreading throughout the country, with daily case records being set nearly every day in November, and is also spreading throughout Washington's halls of power. Two Republican senators, Rick Scott of Florida and Chuck Grassley of Iowa, have announced in the last few days that they tested positive and to this point 26 House members and 10 senators have so far tested positive or been presumed positive since the beginning of the pandemic.
This is a breaking story and will be updated.
