The Canterbury Tales Remixed, written by Baba Brinkman with original music by Mr. Simmonds, coming soon to the Soho Playhouse in New York. Go to www.sohoplayhouse.com for tickets, or call 212-352-3101. Fresh from a smash-hit five-month off-Broadway run of his paean to Charles Darwin, The Rap Guide to Evolution, Baba Brinkman brings you a rich theatrical experience filled with laugh-out-loud hilarity and riveting storytelling, tracing a thread from Chaucer's venal Merchant and sensuous Wife of Bath, to the muscular heros of ancient lore, so similar to today's rap stars in their perpetual quest for glory. As a reviewer from The Stage in Edinburgh put it "Fans of Snoop Dogg and Seamus Heaney will be equally inspired."

Go to www.crowdfunder.co.uk to pre-order and support this project. The Rap Guide to Evolution is Baba Brinkman's comedy rap science show and full-length album, winner of the Scotsman Fringe First Award for outstanding new writing at the 2009 Edinburgh Fringe. The Rap Guide uses hip-hop music and culture to communicate concepts from modern evolutionary theory. A grant from the Wellcome Trust has provided the initial funding to make 12 rap music videos based on the album tracks, making sense of artificial selection, sexual selection, unity of common descent, the evolution of aggression and altruism, and much more. A 60-day fundraising drive at Crowdfunder.co.uk will provide additional funding for animation, digital effects, and the licensing of high-quality nature footage to incorporate into the videos. Contributions will be rewarded with DVDs, the use of your image in the videos, and even a live performance of the show. For more information go to: www.crowdfunder.co.uk

A song commissioned by Swedish Medical Centre in Seattle, which I performed at their Health Care Symposium in October 2010. Download the track from iTunes here: itunes.apple.com Swedish asked me to write a rap song about the debate over US health care reform, and cautioned that it shouldn't be a "partisan rant" but that I was free to express my views. Most of it is directly based on Atul Gawande's writing in the New Yorker, mainly these two excellent articles: Testing Testing: www.newyorker.com The Cost Conundrum: www.newyorker.com By the way, if anyone wants to make a real video for this song with collage video and images, please get in touch with me. I just did this quick because I wanted it to be out there in some form. Commissioned by Swedish Medical Centre: www.swedish.org Sources Atul Gawande: "The Cost Conundrum" Atul Gawande: "Testing, Testing" Wikipedia: "Canada vs US Health Care" Wilkenson & Pickett: "The Spirit Level" Lyrics by Baba Brinkman Music by Mr. Simmonds
