Death To The Sickoids

No.214, aired May 1, 2013, with more of Charles Darwin’s The Origin Of Species and Ornette Coleman’s 1961 album Free Jazz. Evolution is envisioned as world-wide collective improvization – with a running death theme. The Subhumans title “Death To The Sickoids” (not to mention their band name) becomes a joke on “natural” selection, an argument for human agency in evolution – rather than the losers in competition for survival, the “sickoids” are the ruling class, a class that will cease to exist in an time of socialist revolution.
