Dig Up by Dublin band After the Ibis
Video director Cormac Ó Conaire sez:
The video is completely inspired by the lyrics. I loved how Dig Up (taken from the début album Busy Waiting) could be interpreted as either deeply introspective or as socio-political commentary …on being judged by material worth. The narrative of the video was based on cold, inanimate particles slowly coming to life, becoming colourful and evolving into something beautiful… As Carl Sagan said were all made of star stuff.

Cenk Uygur of the Young Turks on TPP and the Trade In Services Agreement (TISA). You may feel an uncomfortable tingling sensation in your democracy glands. To wit:
The entire basis for maintaining our private extractive banking monopoly may have been thrown out the window. And that could help explain the desperate rush to “fast track” not only the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), but the Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA). TiSA would nip attempts to implement public banking and other monetary reforms in the bud.”
