The French multi-instrumentalist, Vincent Fenton, performs under his musical project under the name French Kiwi Juice or FKJ. This incredible DJ shows his musical abilities during the live sets that are available to watch on YouTube. A video titled “Tadow” features artist Masego performing in a music studio. When I first saw that this video has 481 million views on YouTube, I realized why when I saw FKJ jump from playing the electric guitar to a saxophone to a keyboard and synthesizer, while Masego also played the same instruments in addition to the drums. The musical abilities that are presented by this collaboration are mind-blowing as the two of them are also extraordinary vocalists.
FKJ is an accomplished artist who has also released three studio albums, including the self-titled album French Kiwi Juice (2017) that contains many genres such as the newest genre, “French House Music.” Listen to FKJ on any music platform, preferably YouTube to witness his amazing originality
Space Dandy is a hard show to describe because each episode is so wildly different and unique. It’s meant to be a crew of three going around the galaxy looking for unidentified aliens to bring to the Space Alien Registration Center for a cash reward, though they rarely succeed. In one episode, they participate in a race in space; in another, Dandy goes fishing for a giant sea creature; in another he starts a band; in another he attends a high school where everyone is constantly singing. There appears to be no continuity between episodes; sometimes everyone dies at the end of an episode, and then in the next episode, it’s as if nothing happened.
The television series The Great British Bake Off, or GBBO, is a famous baking competition that features the notable pastry chefs Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith as the two primary judges. Although there have been quite a few hosts throughout the 14 seasons, Noel Fielding has been the most quirky and memorable host. Each season, also referred to as a “collection,” begins with an average of 12 eager participants that are baking their hearts out for the most desired trophy in the baking world: the engraved glass cake stand that contains the GBBO logo. Each episode is 60 minutes and consists of three challenges: the first is the “Signature Challenge,” which showcases each baker’s knowledge and personal experience from baking for others at home. The second is the “Technical Challenge,” where each recipe is selected by Judge Paul or Judge Prue and either may have consistent baking instructions or something as vague as “bake” as the final step without providing any further detail. The final challenge is the “Showstopper,” which is almost always given the most amount of time to complete their baking project, as there are many steps and requirements during this final assignment.
