  Domesticated Volume Two

  In the second Domesticated instalment, East Anglian punk poet, James Domestic, is once again taking potshots at work, so-called-punk-rock, outdoor and indoor pursuits, aging, right wing lunatics, politics, feet, and himself. As if that wasn’t enough, you’ll also find his trademark surrealism, sarcasm, and quintessentially British whimsy applied to animals, emails, food, and the power of music, alongside his idiosyncratic illustrations, and photographs from his murky past. 
    
  A man in too many bands to count, a solo artist, a vocalist, a songwriter, a DJ, a poet, a painter, and a punk. James Domestic failed miserably at school through the distractions of music, alcohol, and girls, spent his early post-school life between the chemical factory and the dole, and somehow now has a PhD. A square peg in life’s round hole. A face that never fitted. He couldn’t care less. Come along for the ride. 
    
  “A sardonic, sarcastic wit, a penchant for the surreal, and a dynamic pace” (Nathan Brown, Louder Than War) 
    
  “Words that bite, belch, and bleed in their brilliance” (Mark Grist, multi-award-winning poet and battle rapper) 
    
  “A unique collection of poetic ventures into the human condition, with humour, anger, and a canny use of language: inspired and inspiring!” (Dick Lucas, Subhumans, Culture Shock etc.) 
    
  “Relentless” (Attila the Stockbroker, social surrealist poet and songwriter).

  Signing a record deal at the age of 17 is something Alex didn’t plan for, but it sets him on a path that will bring him tantalisingly close to fame, not once, but three and a half times over the next 7 years. 
  Things don't always go as planned as he ditches school and jumps from US record deals to UK TV appearances, even joining a boy band in his epic quest for fame. 
  Alex encounters neo-nazis and gangsta rappers up close, and experiences tragedy, mental health challenges and sexual abuse, all during the cultural shift of the 90s meeting the likes of The Fall, Suede, Blur, Patti Boyd, Mansun and PJ & Duncan on the way. 
  Three And A Half Minutes of Fame is an authentic look back at the 90s, the last decade before social media, seen from the experiences of an Essex boy with a dream. 
  Book reviews:  
  “Fun, nostalgic and painfully honest. A brilliant ride through the ups, downs, hopes and dreams of gigging in the 90s.” 
  Lucy Nichol, Author, The 27 Club and Parklife 
  "Alex was there at one of the most pivotal times in British rock music, relentlessly observing while playing his drums all over the country. He’s lovingly and unflinchingly captured it all in this cool book- a great read" 
  Tim Thornton, author, The Alternative Hero & drummer, Fink

  Kingdom of Kongo - Christianity...

  The Kingdom of Kongo emerged as one of the most powerful and centralized states in Central Africa. Its origins can be traced back to the early Bantu migrations, which spread agriculture, ironworking, and complex social structures across the region. By the 14th century, various smaller chiefdoms in present-day Angola and the Democratic Republic of Congo began to coalesce under a single authority, forming what would become the Kingdom of Kongo. 
  The region’s fertile lands and access to major rivers facilitated both agriculture and trade. Kongo’s early economy relied on the cultivation of crops such as millet, sorghum, and bananas, as well as the production of iron tools and weapons. The abundance of natural resources allowed the ruling elite to accumulate wealth and expand their influence. As trade networks developed, Kongo became a center of commerce, linking the interior regions of Central Africa with coastal markets. 
  Kongo's social and political organization was highly structured. At the top of the hierarchy was the king, known as the Manikongo, who ruled from the capital, Mbanza Kongo. The Manikongo exercised authority over provincial rulers, who governed different regions of the kingdom. This system allowed for centralized administration while also granting local leaders autonomy in managing their territories. The kingdom was further divided into districts and villages, with a bureaucratic structure that ensured tax collection, military organization, and judicial functions.
