I got an interesting dj gig coming up. It's for Charles Darwin's 200th birthday. The Nature & Science Museum is throwing a birthday bash. If you have any suggested tunes that would be awesome! Monkees' theme is an easy one.

    Refrain

    All things bright and beautiful,
    All creatures great and small,
    All things wise and wonderful:
    The Lord God made them all.

    Each little flower that opens,
    Each little bird that sings,
    He made their glowing colors,
    He made their tiny wings.

    Refrain

    [Most hymnals omit the following verse]

    The rich man in his castle,
    The poor man at his gate,
    He made them, high or lowly,
    And ordered their estate.

    Refrain

    The purple headed mountains,
    The river running by,
    The sunset and the morning
    That brightens up the sky.

    Refrain

    The cold wind in the winter,
    The pleasant summer sun,
    The ripe fruits in the garden,
    He made them every one.

    Refrain

    The tall trees in the greenwood,
    The meadows where we play,
    The rushes by the water,
    To gather every day.

    Refrain

    He gave us eyes to see them,
    And lips that we might tell
    How great is God Almighty,
    Who has made all things well.

    Refrain

    why so much man and monkey blah?

    Darwin's book contained very little about the evolution of man. It was mostly plants and non-human animals.

    He came from a liberal (for the time) family who were deeply against slavery, and indeed the young Darwin apprenticed himself to a (free) black taxidermist. What seems certain (to me, anyway) is that he meant his book to be understood in terms of man and ape sharing common recent ancestry, and that all the human 'races' were not separate species.

    No doubt he couldn't explicitly say so BITD without getting tarred and feathered. What is clear is that the readership at the time knew what he was getting at....


    Carry on.

    It would almost certainly kill the dance-floor, but I'm a huge fan of The Evolution Control Committee's "But I Don't Believe in Evolution", track 12 on the Gunderphonic Mix Tape
