All appeared lost as we entered August 2023, with still no Song of the Summer of our own, when one man and one woman appeared on the horizon. And there they were: DJ Crazy Times and Ms. Biljana Electronica. Like Gandalf and Éomer overlooking Helm's Deep.
And now the man himself is here to answer the internet's burning questions in this latest Spotlight. His all-time gladdest rhythm? Other long-lost staples of the 90s he would love to bring back? What he would do during a cyber system overload? Wonder no more. It's Spotlight time with DJ Crazy Times (also known as comedian Kyle Gordon).
Listen to Planet of the Bass right here and pre-save Kyle’s debut album here!
Very emotional video of the piano part of Patrick’s medley (What a Fool Believes by the Doobie Brothers / Spotlight / What a Catch, Donnie / Golden) in Milwaukee, 4/2/2024, including his words about his dear friend Casey Benjamin.
My YouTube playlist with fan videos for Farscape. This is the oldest playlist of mine. I've started it before Google bought YouTube. So many videos disappeared in the meanwhile :(. Fortunately, it still grows. Sometimes with new videos, sometimes with some old gems I just haven't discovered before. The vast majority are general Farscape and John/Aeryn, but I think every character and relationship is somehow there. It's just hard to track specific themes with older videos.
I'm going to repeat myself, over and over. But I think, the following, applies to all fandoms.
In my opinion, playlists are currently one of the best ways to find fan videos on YouTube. Especially for less popular or older fandoms or smaller creators. If you have one created for Farscape, I encourage you to reblog or comment under this post with the link. Let's spread the love for vids and vidders and help each other find hidden gems.
Also, please, if you like any of the videos, don't get discouraged by the fact that they're old. Like, save and make comments. I have yet to find a creator who isn't happy when people interact with their older creations. It can make someone's day. Who knows, maybe it will motivate them to dust off their skills and love for the fandom, if they have time.
can the "finding your art style" discussion finally end because it does nothing but feeds people's insecurity and obsession with finding something... that they already have?
i've been there, trust me. growing up i was obsessed with "finding" my own art style. but you know what it only did? it made me almost quit drawing altogether on many occasions when in reality i already had one.
an art style is how you interpret everything around you through the act of creation. it's how you draw right now. it's how you place the lines. your line-weight. it's how you draw the eyes. it's how you shade.
an art style grows with you. it grows with your improvement. of course you can explore and bump it up by testing bits and pieces from art you love. but you don't add those bits to nothing. you add to what you already have, to the art style you already have. it's how you draw.

I've been thinking about this scene from BTE 175 (which took place on Kenny's birthday back in 2019)
Kenny Omega tried to give some words of encouragement to a totally disinterested Hangman Adam Page after their first tag team win in aew. I love their dynamic in early aew where Kenny was trying his best to be supportive while Hangman was actively trying to leave the Elite. it really shows that their tag team was doomed from the start.
