History

Author Interviews

This is part one of our special Series On Apartheid. As the leaders of the various anti-Apartheid movements pass away, we take the time to look back at one of the most interesting and unusual periods in Human History. 

In part one, we trace the origins of the Apartheid system back 1400's HRE, when Roman legal concepts entered the Low Countries. We then continue through the colonization of the Cape Colony by Dutch, French, and finally British forces. I discuss the various independent Boer republics, and how these efforts were extinguished by the most powerful empire in the world. 

Finally, I explore how the repression of the Boer people could have laid the groundwork for the Apartheid racial ideology that would emerge more than 40 years after the last Afrikaaner state was conquered.

Let's Learn Together!

The Word: Series On Apartheid 1

The second year of "The Word" begins with an author interview. Joining me is Rajee Narinesingh, the author of "Beyond Face Value," released in the wake of her world-wide fame. 

In addition to discussing why she decided to write the book when she did, we discuss her darkest moments, and how she is able to muster the will to survive, despite violence, hate, and prejudice. 

"Beyond Face Value" is one of the best memoirs I have ever read, and certainly one of the most enjoyable books I have read this year! Rajee shares several fun anecdotes from her life, as well as reviewing events that occur in the book. 

Please join us for this very special edition of "The Word"!

The Word: Beyond Face Value (Audio)

My musings on an infomercial I saw earlier this selling 1970's musick on CD's. Because this is one area I can speak on fairly well, & am especially familiar with the 1970's, I could pick up on several distortions. You may be surprised as to what was going on behind-the-scenes while you were enjoying 70's musick.

Jakob Musick's Audio Blog -- 'If It Was Good, It Was On The Radio'

In this editorial, I discuss the Jewish State, the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, & recent developments from the region. I, & many others, would argue that the modern state of Israel constitutes an Apartheid regime in its dealings, colonization, & isolation of the Palestinian Arabs. Like its old ally, the Union of South Afrika, Israel is attempting to neutralize its dangerous minority populations by crafting reservations & delineating citizenship laws that exclude the majority. 

In the wake of the Israeli cabinet's deceleration of Israel as the "Nation-State of the Jewish People," and the concept's addition to the nation's Basic Law, the discussion surrounding the seemingly never-ending Israeli-Palestinian conflict continues. While the fortunes of Israeli Jews seems to rise & fall, the lot of the Palestinians, Arabs, & Muslims has continually gotten worse since 1945. I expect an unfortunate increase in violence toward the end of 2014, and the beginning of the New Year, as the 3rd Intifada accelerates. 

Note: This editorial originally aired on the HCC Radio Programme "HCC Radio News" in December 2014

*Please pardon the sometimes-awful sound quality of  my voice in this recording. We encountered several 'technical difficulties' Thank you*

Romance-Adventure author CK Brooke once again gives me the pleasure of interviewing her, coinciding this time with the release of her 2nd official publication: "The Duchess Inheritance"! The main characters from the last book are all here, continuuing their quest to restore the Ancien Régime of Jordinia. 

We discuss several features of the new book, which includes topography, new locations, new characters (including one I am absolutely enthralled with), language, religious systems, psychological motivations and other wonderful features of this exciting story. 

CK Brooke continuues to develop her career as she finishes the Jordinia duology.

New Talk Show "Jakob" Coming This Fall"

Analysis of Singer-Comedian Margaret Cho's appearance on American Talk Show "The View"

If Margaret Cho Was Really In Solidarity With Her Fellow Asian...

New Talk Show "Jakob" Coming this fall

Using "The View" once again as a jump-off for conversation, we will explore the nature of Bourgeois democracy in the United States. Why are third-party voters called on to 'defend' themselves? Isn't free choice and conviction the alleged basis of the system?

Bourgeois Democracy Is Designed To Legitimize The Power Elite

Using another clip from American Talk Show "The View" we discuss three topics near to the heart of the new American version of "The Troubles" -- gun violence, police & race, & mental health, and how the bourgeois parties manipulate the discourse and constrict its social development through channels such as these

The Bourgeois Parties Constrict The Discourse On Mental Health

Every week thousands of songs are released to radio, on streaming platforms, on digital stores, on social media, mixtapes, & CD albums. It would be impossible for the average musick lover to absorb this & sift through them -- That's why you have me. I'm Jakob Musick, & I was meant for this. You could say it's in my blood, or genes. Or Whatever.

March saw a lot of great songs reach their peak, and a few new ones caught me by surprise toward the end of the month. Danielle Bregoli's infamous appearance on Dr. Phil (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNe8bDJda0A) which has reached 25 million views (and that is only on the Official channel) spawns two songs on this edition of BNM, we hear Katy Perry' international smash, and Remy Ma's already-legendary 7-minute takedown of Nicki Minaj. Add to that some great new world musick, and my choice of best song Candice Boyd's "Make Me Over" and we have one heck of a show for you!

Tracklist:
1. Brave - CK Brooke - Pop - Unreleased
2. Cash Me Outside Official - Zee The Trigger - Hip-Hop - Self-Released
3. Chained To The Rhythm - Katy Perry + Skip Marley - Pop - Capitol (Vivendi)
4. Shether - Remy Ma - Hip-Hop - EMPIRE

Best New Musick March 2017 (Remy Ma Destroys Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry, Turkish Pop!)

In 2009, CNBC aired a documentary which was surprisingly successful, spawned a DVD release, and continued to be re-run for more than 6 years. This programme was "Porn: The Business Of Pleasure." This audio programme is a commentary on "The Business Of Pleasure" written in 2014, while the documentary was still being repeated on television. 2009 was a pivotal and interesting year to be making a documentary about pornography for various reasons, and I talk about some of these , not least the world-wide economic depression that began just months before this documentary was released. 

For the moment, at least, you can view a promotional clip from CNBC's Youtube channel here -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Za4ZodA4EVc

'The Business Of Pleasure'

In this column from 2014, I react to then-FOX News' Megyn Kelly's comments regarding police killings of civillians in the United States, plus her bizarre assertion that the mythical figure Santa Klaus was 'white,' as well as her particular position within the network. 2017 Update included.

Award-Winning, Best-Selling Romance Author CK Brooke (Author of books you have never read) & Jakob Musick (Creater of podcasts you have never listened to) ARE The Homo & The Housewife! Friends for a decade, the two have each trod their path and.....well, both ended up in obscurity. At least so far. But that doesn't stop us from trying! This is our latest, desperate attempt for some attention! We are actually really funny together. If I do say so myself. And I do myself quite often. I mean, I talk a lot! That's what guys with big feet do; They have big mouths!! ;-p

In this episode you may* find:
*Musick from Austin Mahone, Justin Bieber, David Guetta, Randy Newman & more!
*A 'thorough' discussions of Caity's 'enormous breasts'!
*Caity's naughty thoughts about Mr Clean! 
*Trivial pop musick is discussed
*Caity has a conspiracy theory about Donald Trump! (Shockingly original, I know)
*How did Randy Newman make Jakob want to puke? (Hint: Not how men normally do it!)
*& More*!

A Homo & A Housewife PILOT! (Summer Songs, Randy Newman Is Horrible! Trump Conspiracy Theories!)

PART ONE
Already diverting from our programme, Jakob & Caity have a film-viewing party (via the WORLD WIDE WEB!). It has been an urgent injunction for both of us to watch "The Room" (2003), a film often considered among the worst. 

What we got was......not what I expected. Softcore porn. Cancer. Sex-scene loops. 2003 hotties straight-out-"The OC"- More porn. Some of the best lines in film I have ever heard. One of the strangest 'love triangles' (Quadrangle????) I have ever bore witness to. 

It was rather weird. And coming from me that says a lot.
Stay tuned for part II of this epic.

H&H #2: Jakob & Caity's Video Party! The Room Pt. I (2003) Commentary

Jakob & Caity's video party continues on through the final scenes of "The Room" (2003) AKA "Planet Drugz".

Planet Drugz (The Room Pt II)

The Homo & The Housewife continue, throwing their 2nd VIDEO PARTY! On tap for today is the sequel to Christian 'epic' "God's Not Dead," which was a record-breaking profit-making film that depicted intellectuals and university professors as agents of religious repression.

Jakob & Caity watch 'GNDII' and provide their commentary.........more entertaining than the actual film? You decide!

H+H Jakob & Caity's VIDEO PARTY! "God's Not Dead II" PART I(Christian Propaganda)

The second part of the Homo & The Housewife's second VIDEO PARTY!! We finish the smash-hit (not) "God's Not Dead II" starring Sabrina The Teenage Witch. Our commentary + Caity's 'Asian voice' + THE JEWS! +++ Our de-brief at the end! This film was something that 'happened to us', like Harvey Weinstein.. But we loved it (Not really)

H+H Video Party: "God's Not Dead II" Pt II (Christian Propaganda)

This 2-hour Super-cut of "A Homo & A Housewife" is also the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the ground-breaking Caity K. podcast debut "Book'ed Up!". Jakob was an early supporter and our podcast journey began there!

In the spirit of this momentous occasion, Jakob & CK Brooke discuss her 'American Pirate Romance' book "Capturing the Captain"! No big spoilers, just enough info to get you interested! Find it on Amazon Unlimited for FREE!
