A Fantasy Everyone Needs?

Justin Hawkins Rides Again | June 27, 2026



Mr Fantasy is billed as a British pop singer, rumoured to be played by New Zealand actor, KJ Apa. Today his latest album, FANTASYLAND, was released and I’m reviewing one of its tracks called “Do Me Right”. Who is Mr Fantasy? Are the rumours about his identity true? Or is he the real thing? Who cares? I love it.

    Derek Hough (pronounced Huff) main judge and amazing dancer/choreographer along with his sister Julianne both on Dancing With The Stars in 'Murca. I've seen them live in Nashville.

    He-Man may have had a soft debut at the movies this summer, but not to worry, he can still do hard numbers on Prime Video. Guns N' Roses may have stumbled at Download, but glam can still restore its festival credibility at EddFest if The Darkness can win over the Iron Maiden legion. Yet have the glittering dice already been loaded? The HU, Airbourne and The Almighty have all successfully run the Maiden support gauntlet before, leaving Mister Fantasy as the only newcomer facing one of rock's most demanding crowds. He'll need to be right at the top of his game at Knebworth in just two weeks' time 🎤🎸🎸🥁

    This has nothing to do with your video EXCEPT, Muse also released an album today (yesterday). It’s called The Wow! Signal and it’s by far the best album they’ve put out in 15 or so years. I’ve already listened to it like 5 times since ot was released at midnight (yes I was waiting 😂) They’re even getting a ton of love on Reddit, which isn’t always the most positive place lol. They’re more or less your peers and I don’t know if you’re a fan Justin, but I would love to hear your take on it if you are a fan. And hey, if you’re not I’d still love to hear it 😉

    Tyler the creator has really taken his wardrobe to the next level in this one. Ground breaking, earth shaking infantilization not seen since the release of Mr bean. It makes me want to pick up my pipe and magnifying glass and reopen the case of who really are! the members of slippnot.

    I love when the nepos do it because its still safely bankable, secure in the knowledge that Mr. fantastic will never actually take an unguarded police patrol vehicle for a joy ride while spraying silly string at confused pedestrians. So much fun for those guys. I wish we could have seen more of James Franco in this tho he really popps!

    Reminds me of when these famous DJ'S prove their interested in music from a young age in the documentary with some grainy home footage of them preforming in front of their parents pressing play pause and rewind on their tape deck.

    I jest tho its actually a really fun video. thanks JARA excellent work always makes me smile.

    Bring Me The Horizon has just released a new single where they've gone back to their roots after 20 years (very heavy metal), you have to do a reaction video to it. It's some proper 2006 deathcore. You might also like the video, it's the most gore music video I've ever seen.

    Die Fantasie, von der ich bis eben nicht wusste, dass ich sie jetzt IMMER brauche, war dein gesungenes Intro in allen möglichen Sprachen übersetzt. "Hindi" is mein Favorit!

    If you remember back in the 1999’s country singer Garth Brooks had an alter ego called Chris Gaines, each would deny the other, both sang completely different styles of music. Garth pure Country, Chris Alternative Rock. lol, and of course neither were ever seen together.

    No instagram. No tik tok. This is the high quality content I’m missing, eh🐶

    He’s not holding back and looks like he’s having a blast. Good for him. And good for his friends going along with it. Not quite Kaufman/Clifton, but it seems entertaining enough.

    I'm not sure it's actually possible to remove the context of the artist to just take in the pure music only, regardless of real artist or fantasy artist. One is real so brings the context of their own life, one brings the context of being a… gimmick? I don't know 🙂 I do think, in the end, the music WILL come through… for good or for bad.

    Good thing I read the comments first, or I would have repeated that he seems to be channeling The Ramones in looks, which I now did anyway 🙂 Have been out of town, so now I'm trying to get caught up on your videos.

    I only recognize maybe 3 of those names. Yeah, it's not really something that I would listen to by choice. I like his clothes; he looks like he was pulled out of the 80s.

    Hey Wig! Nice little dance tune…the video…Um, parts of it are good. Voice sounds goods, like the beat…late 80s early 90s pop vibes…Pet Shop Vibes, and New Order, but less serious.
