Discussing the track, vocalist Gregg Deal explains: "While it’s easy for me to say I’m proud of every song on Wagon Burner, I’d be remiss by not admitting this one is one of my favourites."

I love this short interview with Karen.

Nice nod to Tess Martin's work on the music video in this review: "it plunges into macro footage of oil, water, and reactive substances shifting into tiny unstable planets. The liquids bloom, break, swallow, and divide, turning chemistry into corruption with a laboratory wink."

Depressing: I have to keep an eye out for holocaust denier emails because one of my clients went viral after posting a video that legendary Hollywood director John Ford shot of her grandfather at Dachau talking about how his friends who went to the crematorium were the lucky ones.

You can book the best speaker in the world but if no-one knows that they're coming to town, if there aren't butts in seats, then you're not achieving what you want.

I created this because I encounter so many people who are new to arranging events or who have been given the job of planning in addition to their main line of work - they don't always know where to start. But audiences don't find themselves, sadly.

I've written a starter kit for event promotion. This guide has a concise checklist, sample press release language, and ideas for who to reach out to. This is a completely free resource, no registration required. Downloadable at this link. #PR #eventpromotion www.samaraspeakers.com/contact/

People keep saying “oh so you want OPEN BORDERS” as some kind of gotcha and like. Yeah. When I was a kid you could just drive into Canada. On accident, even. It was great, and I think we should do that instead of kidnapping children. Normalize being normal instead of being kidnapping weirdos
