On November 20, 2009, Sarah Palin visited Columbus, OH as part of her book signing tour for "Going Rogue." When her supporters were asked broad questions about why they thought she should be president, the responses were vague: She's "real." She'll "stick up for America."
THERE ARE UNINFORMED OBAMA SUPPORTERS, TOO It has been said in comments that we would find similarly talking point-driven, substance-less supporters at an Obama rally, and we agree. But no politician has emerged on the national stage as undefined and unqualified as Sarah Palin, and her public persona--which is anti-intellectual by definition--discourages substance. Instead, we get winking. One could hardly imagine her giving a complex speech about race in America, or speaking eloquently about our country's relations with Islam. Not just because she couldn't write such a speech (Obama has speech-writers, of course) but because she wouldn't--such necessarily academic discussion is antithetical to the persona she's created for herself and that her supporters have come to love.
CHERRY-PICKING As for accusations of cherry picking, which are commonly thrown at interview-based videos, it simply isn't what we did. We interviewed only a few more people than ended up in the video, not hundreds, and what was cut was done for time purposes. The people were selected at random--some offered to be interviewed--and we were only there for about 90 mins (it gets dark early and fast in Ohio right now). What didn't make it into the video was just more footage of people talking generically or about taxes/spending, drilling, and abortion, and we constructed blocks in the piece to represent those issues. Of course the piece was edited to be entertaining (this is YouTube, after all, where the currency is cat videos) but we don't believe we misrepresented the attitudes of the people at that signing in any way.

LCD Soundsystem return with a new single 'All My Friends' on May 28th, taken from the massively acclaimed album 'Sound Of Silver' released earlier this year. With it's frenetic refrain and rhythmic precision 'All My Friends' has quickly become both an album standout and live favourite, as the recent sell-out European tour showed to great effect.
'All My Friends' is backed by a spectacular array of new material and exclusive mixes in the form of covers of 'A.M.F's' by both Franz Ferdinand (produced by Erol Alkan) and the legendary John Cale who recorded his amazing version in LA in early April, a radical dancefloor re-working courtesy of seminal NY based ex-pat Harvey, a new LCD cover of Joy Division's 'No Love Lost' and 'Freak Out', a brand new clubtrack.
The band are currently preparing for their forthcoming US tour which begins at Coachella later this month, before returning to the UK and Europe this Summer for a series of high profile festival performances including 02 Wireless (as main support to Daft Punk), T-In The Park, Creamfields, Reading/Leeds & Connect to name but a few before returning for a full set of dates this Autumn.

OUT EXCLUSIVELY - DECEMBER 1st ON ITUNES AND BEATPORT.
Sometimes a project comes along that just screams brilliance. Well this my friends, is just that project. As the last release for the year on Omnis Recordings AND the first video to the anticipated and brilliant Infusion album "All Night Sun Light", Try It On has all the guts to make the glory.
Lyrics: Try It On Smooth The way you talk to me And I see your lips are moving Far too carelessly Cool The way you act tonight And I know theres something hiding When you say that youre alright Some time soon I hope that you will see What Ive gone through to get where I want to be And I know it doesnt look like much to me But just try it on Try it on Beautiful In almost every way But I see you dont have time for the words I long to say Sensual The movement that you make But I wonder if you noticed my heart begin to break I sometimes wonder if youd recognise Our love if seen through someone elses eyes So baby, why not take a step outside And just try it on Try it on Some time soon I hope that you will see What Ive gone through to get where I want to be And I know it doesnt look like much to me But just try it on Try it on Disco String Quartet Arranged & Conducted by Jonathan Fernandes Strings - Victorian Philharmonic Orchestra Guitars - Frank, Bass Guitar - Indra Adams, Vox - Manny
ABOUT INFUSION and their album "All Night Sun Light":
For over a decade Australian trio Infusion - Manny Sharrad, Frank Xavier and Jamie Stevens - have expanded minds, built bridges and been adorned with affection from Wollongong to Williamsburg and back with their uniquely placeless, always evolutionary approach to creating truly futuristic transcendental dance music.
Just when it feels like there are no more avenues for an act of Infusions pedigree to go down, theyve flipped and gone down one you never expected but always wanted them to take the modern pop superhighway. All Night Sun Light (Omnis Recordings) achieves where so many other attempts at dance pop fails authenticity. Infusions always dabbled in a unique blend of dance and pop but its fully realized over these 11 shimmering displays of machine pop created in the dark world of strobes and sweat.
2 Player Game opens the suite with a sinister synth-line before settling into the kind of groove Depeche Mode fans die for; "Try It On" is a cinematic 80's alternative lil diddy that really puts you back a few years to the best in early electronic with an impeccably produced modern new-wave twist, All Thats In Your Head is the pulsing electro-pop heartbeat of a wasted romance; while Falling Into Place feels like the long, dark walk home from the night of your life. Its got movie scene transition written all over it. Gotta Leave Now is an ecstatic triumph, possibly the most irrepressible future pop dart in this impressive records artillery, while Head Over Heels comes out of the blocks feeling like T-Rex.
Infusions songwriting has always been a strong point for the band, but it really comes out on some of the albums downtempo tracks. Lead single So Soon (CD version offered free) is gorgeous psychedelic electronic pop on its own, but appropriated for the dancefloor courtesy of remixes from King Unique, Spooky and Infusion. Justified has a folky, Woodstock call-for-action vibe about it while Horizon is a ballad bringing forth shades of Dave Gahan.
Again written and produced by the band themselves in just about every studio, bedroom and shed that would take them between Melbourne, Sydney, Angelsea, The Mornington Peninsula, Brighton UK and Los Angeles, All Night Sun Light was then shipped to James Brown [no, not that one assistant to Alan Moulder, Trent Reznor etc] in New York, who mixed the record in Phillip Glass Looking Glass Studios.
Its been a very long and hard road in making this album ourselves but having complete control meant we achieved everything we wanted to with it. It was great working with the Victoria Philharmonic Orchestra, Kram who did some drumming along with T-Rek, our guitarist friends and a big brash brassy band we used for Memory Cheats. We also were lucky to have the film scoring talents of Rajan Kamahl and Jono Fernandez to assist in the string arrangements in the more epic tracks such as Falling Into Place and Horizons, singer Manny Sharrad says
After their last album, Six Feet Above Yesterday, Infusion spent the better part of three years taking that record to the people, touring extensively not only around Australia but also traipsing through Europe, North and South America, and Asia. They also lent their definitive touch to remixes of artists including The Cure. The resultant album thats been presented is one that reeks of travel and experience, both geographical and psychological.
INFUSION IS AVAILABLE FOR INTERVIEWS
