Jamie Lidell, "Walk Right Back" I've always got time to spare for Jamie Lidell's warped take on soul, and "Walk Right Back" finds the British veteran in vintage form: he's wailing about a love that's gone sour, trying to turn back time over a skittering beat.

BOSTON — He was a regular sight around the New England town he helped put on the map, whether he was skittering down the coast in his speedboat at full throttle or celebrating his 90th birthday by tumbling out of a helicopter 6,300 feet above his house.

The thing happening in the car—the phone call, the man's voice, his bewildering request—did not seem real compared with Mellie's loping stride as she deftly stole the ball and toyed with it, her skittering feet driving it toward the net and then past the goalie.

I've toiled in this business for nearly 20 years, and even in the best of times it has been a squeamish and skittering ride, the sort of career you'd counsel your kids to avoid in favor of something less volatile and more enduring — bitcoin mining, perhaps.

"4 for 4$," the liveliest track by some margin, bends an icy set of synthesized strings around skittering metallic percussion and a keyboard whose sudden octave jump lends the beat a certain bounce, while Queen Wendy sings the praises of the 4 for $4 value meal.

Every time we went there, I wanted to stay there and play out a character arc instead of skittering away to the other things in the shadow-lands beyond its environs that didn't immediately identify as Twin Peaks or were only Twin Peaks by association with Dirty Cooper.

In the past decade alone, Clear Channel, Song BMG Music Entertainment, Warner Music, Universal Music Group, CBS Radio, Citadel, and Entercom have all paid millions of dollars in fines for flouting payola regulations, skittering through loopholes left and right to push product (there are those independent promoters again!).

And it wasn't even a normal part of the front-flap jacket copy — all the pseudo-sentient hand-waving that passes for plot summary in the world of Dan Brown, in which the great triumphs of human thought are reduced to windup toys skittering around a shoe-box maze.

But most hotels aren't owned by or explicitly associated with Donald Trump—again, SO many spiders skittering every which way, all over, forever—and this continued failure to succeed in private-sector cybersecurity doesn't bolster Trump's claims that his business background gives him the right tools to fix the government.

On tracks like the ten-minute-marathon "Cosmic Machines," the record occasionally locks into skittering rhythms, but even the most forceful moments tend to be heavy-lidded and hypnotic, evocative more of the salty, oxygen-poor air above the dancefloor than the friction that's generating all the heat down below.

After he told some friends in the publishing world, five of the essays were published in December on the New Yorker's website, and the podcast—which adds immersive sound design, like the of chill-inducing sounds of the skittering of cockroach legs—will release a total of eight through mid-April.

Steve Lacy's skittering subtlety on guitar and solid quietude on bass suit what we might as well call her spirituality, a gentleness that never comes across genteel or weak or connects explicitly to her unassuming lesbianism, although you begin to sense a yen for serious romance after enough fooling around.

Mike Pence's rocky landing on Thursday night at La Guardia Airport — the campaign plane skidded off the runway, and emergency crews scrambled to the scene in a driving rain — certainly lends itself as an apt metaphor for Donald J. Trump's entire presidential run: chaotic, turbulent and skittering just on the edge of disaster.

The scattered cattle — a motley assemblage of breeds, including creamy Charolais, hump-shouldered Brahman and Simmental — coalesced into a driven herd, lumbering old bulls and skittering calves, lining up along a rutted dirt road and heading toward what is usually a narrow creek, but which was now more than 150 feet across.

With seven tracks ranging in length from long to longer, "Blackstar" — which dropped Friday from Sony Music — is among Bowie's most macabre and ritualistic records, all skittering jazz drums and washes of dark energy, an unsettlingly shifty landscape of outer-space nightmares held together only by the Thin White Duke's pulsing, mournful vibrato itself.

This means that in the span of a couple tracks he can be extremely playful—like flipping a Brandy-featuring viral video into jagged acid-juke on the opener "No Body"—and extraordinarily serious (the grave intonation "We're at war in these streets" forms the basis of the record's skittering bass-bomb "At War"), and both tacts feel daring.

I certainly knew the tune ("The Lone Ranger" TV series began running in 1949), but I didn't know it could sound like this —the skittering string figures played with amazing speed and clean articulation, the entire piece brought off with precision and power, the muscular timpani strokes outlining phrases and asserting a blood-raising pressure under the crescendos.

While sharp and bitter and sui generis though the album's skittering drums and colorful electroloops were, they moved with the elegance typical of formalized, chart-friendly hip-hop, with extra cognitive dissonance courtesy of Future's mechanized astroboy vocals jolting the music into the realm of sci-fi surrealism and hence suggesting a level of repressed pain left implicit.

The party takes place in a large garage-cum-recreation room (outfitted with a pool table and a Ping-Pong table), where the men assemble and engage in various vigorous activities: dancing in pairs; giving preening displays of their muscular forms; engaging in a raucous brawl that finds one of them shorn of clothing, skittering around the stage clutching his genitals.

That romantic picture of star-crossed love is the stuff of many a country music video: a quick shot of two lovestruck teenagers skittering past disapproving old Dad and his cocked shotgun, hauling ass in their Sunday best across state lines in the sticky dark heat of a Mississippi summer to say "I do" and find out what the future holds.

While some of the breakup songs and especially the rejection songs feel more explicitly painful, the whomping bassline and giant guitar riff on "Kiss It Better," descending keyboard glitter on "Yeah I Said It," skittering drum pattern on "Desperado," and staticky guitar pretending to be a keyboard pretending to be a guitar pretending to be an infinite loop on "Woo" produce similar effects.

He's got delicate locks reminiscent of permed G-funk legend DJ Quik and a street-hardened perspective he says was inspired by 1993's Bangin' on Wax; and, though his sound lacks the narcotized thrum of young Hit Mob producers (and cousins) Ron-Ron or AceTheFace, its smooth, orange synth lines and skittering hi-hats evoke a contemporary take on G-funk's sun-bleached menace.

Between passages of precarious movement — a skittering dance for Mr. Ebotani that ends with him collapsing to the floor; a duet in which one man arranges another's unresponsive limbs; an electrifying solo for Mr. Kumbonyeki to Jimi Hendrix's "Voodoo Chile" — the cast shepherds a red chest filled with tattered papers across the stage, carrying it like a coffin or letting its contents spill onto the floor.

Sets from the pianist Ashley Henry and the drummer Moses Boyd were highlights, and the commonalities between them (the influence of drum-and-bass's skittering rhythms; the proposal of a different kind of dance-driven jazz, not directly influenced by American hip-hop but instead directly tied to the British rave scene) suggested that jazz moves in collective steps, made by musicians operating in proximity.

Set to the gothic keys and skittering snares that have characterized the underground UK drill scene for the last couple of years, this was a new evolution of the sound; a mix of bleak aesthetics with lyrics explicitly exhorting the listener to dance – even if the shoulder shuffling skank in question was, with drill's typically dark humor, meant to imply you were carrying the cold weight of heavy artillery.

But where her malleable falsetto was previously buried low in the mix, it's at the forefront here on the skittering, four-on-the floor "VV Violence" and the slow-burning "I Talk BB"—a final touch necessary for making the everyday otherworldly—Max Mertens Brooklyn-based composer Julianna Barwick has spent the better part of the last decade reaching for the sky, twisting layer after layer of her own voice into cumulonimbus-light meditations.

He famously once said that his music was meant to echo the feeling of "being on a night bus, or with your mates, walking home across your city on your own late at night," and this one captures the jittery emotion of those sorts of experiences—using skittering percussion and unpredictable synth sounds as mirrors for the feeling in the hours after your night's ended but you can't quite stop your brain from spinning.

When "Where Are Ü Now," a collaboration with Skrillex and Diplo, came out last February, it was billed as a Skrillex & Diplo song featuring Bieber, and it sounded unnecessarily tame compared to the rest of their hyperactive album, Skrillex and Diplo Present Jack Ü. Recontextualized here, its skittering snares, rubbery drum thwock, sensitive wailing siren, and looped falsetto bleeps add up to quite the warped ballad — designed with the dancefloor in mind, it alternates Bieber's quiet, sung verses with louder, sped-up instrumental breaks, possibly the weirdest song structure to hit Top 40 all year.
