Aside from Hanna's corrections-officer mother, Andrea—played by The Get Down actress Yolonda Ross, who is also slated to appear on Showtime's upcoming The Chi—its cast consists entirely of performers and personalities from the ballroom world, including Aaliya King, Brenda Holder, Kia LaBeija, and MikeQ, whose recent Qween Beat label compilation, Queendom, gives the film its propulsive soundtrack.

A practical update of Jamie xx's "All Under One Roof Raving" for those who have no interest in watching Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore, "I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware of It" is a small-scale fantasia of elided vocal processing, feather-soft arpeggios, and a stuttering rhythm that's equal parts propulsive and winsome.

SpaceX decided to abandon developing that capability in part because it would've taken a tremendous effort to quality it from a safety perspective, and also because while SpaceX originally believed this would be the best path for making a capsule that could land on Mars, they've since changed their thinking and so propulsive landing is no longer required for that purpose.

In attendance was a young Vic Reeves (real name: Jim Moir) who could be found hopping around the muddy fields charged up on amphetamine and exhilarated by the savage music he was hearing from the stage: a ferocious and unearthly mix of discordant punk, dense dub, propulsive funk – a mutated sound that has since come to define post-punk as a genre.

That noise, a lugubrious, rolling, propulsive thing, once heard, never forgotten, emerged from the fingers of LA born musician Paul Jackson Jr. Jackson Jr—who's worked with the likes of Elton John, Lionel Richie, and his namesake Michael—isn't a household name here in the UK, unless you're a regular reader of Bass Enthusiast Quarterly, despite his long and successful career.

The close third-person point of view rotates among three central figures, providing pattern and the promise of convergence; the mysterious ax murders serve as a narrative through-line; the canal exerts centripetal and allegorical force; and the extraordinary American yearning of the characters, as in Stephen Millhauser's "Martin Dressler" or E. L. Doctorow's "The Waterworks," is a constantly propulsive force.

Instead, it's turning the booster around in space using a controlled burn to orient it optimally for a re-entry that helps it shed enough of its speed to allow it to deploy its parachute and descend at a rate where it can be caught by the helicopter — a maneuver that's actually relatively simple compared to a propulsive landing, despite its seeming complexity.

Read Music, Speak Spanish is characterized by a pace almost alien to Bright Eyes, and its scratchy electric guitars and always-propulsive percussion provide a backdrop for a biting, anti-capitalist lyrical agenda—delivered in a snarl instead of Oberst's usual lilting tones—which defines the whole album (the physical copy of the LP even contains a lyric insert laid out like a legal contract).

This morning, everyone's fave synth-pop brooders released "Ran," the first single from the upcoming LP. In typical Future Islands style, it's a thoughtful yet soaring and propulsive track, with a core sound of the big and reaching sort that I can imagine going down very well indeed at the band's string of US festival dates this summer (they're so far confirmed for Coachella, Bonnaroo and Panorama).

It's not Spielberg's best film of the 2010s (that, to me, would be Lincoln), but it's one of his best, and it weds its story and themes to surprisingly propulsive filmmaking that uses visual language to nicely set up the various social strata that Kay Graham ends up having to traverse in order to betray some of her closest friends and publish stories based on the Pentagon Papers.

A better fit for Mr. Ramasar came on Wednesday with the return of Christopher Wheeldon's "DGV: Danse à Grande Vitesse," set to Michael Nyman's propulsive score, "MGV (Musique à Grande Vitesse)," written in honor of the inauguration of the high-speed French train commonly referred to as the T.G.V. With Jennifer Tipton's stark lighting and Jean-Marc Puissant's sleek costumes and scenery — including a sculptural wall of undulating steel — "DGV" offers a handsome visual statement.

The Internet had become such a propulsive force driving the flow of information that when the Republican-led Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives decided to publish Ken Starr's commission's 'findings' online—just two days after he had delivered them—it meant that (for me personally) every adult with a modem could instantaneously peruse a copy and learn about my private conversations, my personal musings (lifted from my home computer), and, worse yet, my sex life.

Sometimes, that means nothing; other times, it means that the propulsive filmmaking a famous director brought to a series' early hours is sorely lacking once less famous names step behind the camera.) The involvement of Boyle and Beaufoy might lead viewers to anticipate some sort of over-the-top, hugely stylized romp through a story full of twisted and sordid bits, Beaufoy's scripts reveling in the violence (physical, psychological, and otherwise) while Boyle's camera forces you in, right up close.

In 1987, for the Paris Opera Ballet—the highest precinct of classicism, where ballet took shape, in the seventeenth century—he made "In the Middle, Somewhat Elevated," a relentless dance to a propulsive score by Willems, in which the young Sylvie Guillem moved in shockingly new ways: body pitched at swerving angles; arms, legs, hips, head oriented through multiple spatial planes; executing point work that pushed her supple body ever farther in the physical contradictions that she and Forsythe had devised.

Yet Patterson's epic narrative derives its propulsive intimacy from the personal insurrections of four women against their circumstances and expectations: Addie, a committed 19th-century American missionary and mother of two; her sister, Louisa, who has ditched the comforts of their Ohio upbringing for the hardscrabble demands of an Illinois farm; Louisa's daughter, Hazel, a widowed cafeteria worker who finds renewal in an affair with her best friend's husband; and Juanlan, a college graduate in 1998 China whose interpretations of "Pride and Prejudice" seem to anticipate the Austenesque tensions of her own romantic choices.
