3 d. ago TV on the Radio’s Tunde Adebimpe: ‘I remember thinking I never want to do this again’

TV on the Radio’s frontman hit rock bottom at the height of the band’s powers and stopped performing music for good. But with his acting career taking off and a genre-jumping new solo album, one of rock’s great polymaths is backSitting in the belly of north London’s Islington Assembly Hall in the middle of four sold-out nights, TV on the Radio frontman Tunde Adebimpe is recalling the precise moment he wanted to quit his band – and music – for ever. It was 2019 and the group, an art-rock four-piece who haven’t made a record that wasn’t adored by critics since emerging from Brooklyn in the early 00s, were opening for Weezer and Pixies at Madison Square Garden in New York.Over the years, they’ve made five studio albums and also lost bass player Gerard Smith, who died suddenly in 2011. They’ve grieved and grown together. Adebimpe is their talisman. A tall, expressive focal point, able to rabble-rouse with songs such as Wolf Like Me, or calm the congregation with low-slung trac...

2 w. ago The big picture: a Chad gymnast scores top marks for determination

Behind Antonio López Díaz’s image of the inspirational Achta Derib is a story of how small changes can transform livesThe wall behind her is pockmarked and worn. She’s barefoot against a hard, cracked floor. And yet Achta Derib’s pose in this photograph by Antonio López Díaz, a finalist in the professional sports category at the Sony world photography awards, suggests reserves of determination that will carry her across continents to perform at the highest levels of her sport.For Díaz, who has been documenting her journey since 2019, Derib’s story “stands as a symbol of resilience”. She was one of hundreds of girls from Chad who joined a pioneering gymnastics class at a school outside the capital, N’Djamena. Set up in 2016 by a Chadian Jesuit priest and a Spanish club president, with support from Spain’s Ramón Grosso Foundation, the class was the first of its kind in the central African country, where nearly half the population lives below the poverty line. Chad lacked gymnastic...

Aside from his one encouraging result this year, a supreme performance in his Australian Open quarter-final win over Carlos Alcaraz, the first few months of his 38th year had been grim. Father time had undeniably gained ground on him.The hamstring injury Djokovic suffered against Alcaraz eventually forced him to withdraw from his subsequent semi-final against Alexander Zverev after only one set. After tearing his medial collateral ligament at the French Open last year, this setback marked his second grand slam withdrawal inside a year after two decades of good health. Continue reading...

2 w. ago ‘Don’t be afraid of what you don’t know’: the inimitable genius of Andy Kaufman

New documentary looks back on the career and personal life of the unusual comedian whose brand of performance art made him a true originalThe stereotype of comedians is that they’re compulsively “on”, finding it difficult to revert to normal off-stage behavior when so much of their life revolves around getting laughs from a crowd. That makes Andy Kaufman particularly unusual, even this many years later: he is a comedian who worked so hard to raise questions about whether or not he was “on” that those questions lingered well after his death.The creator of characters such as Foreign Man, who would unexpectedly break into a spot-on Elvis impression; Latka Gravas, the sitcom version of that character he did for the beloved show Taxi; the grotesquely abusive lounge singer never-was Tony Clifton; and the misogynist woman-wrestling showboat named, uh, Andy Kaufman constructed so many clever hoaxes to house his work that many assumed he must not actually have died young at the age of 35.
