Lit it ### ThBffiSe media spin on r election know-how

By Christy Brownfield Assistant Fringe Editor

For many Americans, media coverage is crucial in their decision when voting in presidential elections and the 2008 elec­ tion is no exception. Although the facts coming from pun­ dits and entertainment sources are not entirely well-rounded, there is little de­ nying the impact such coverage will have on voters. With input from the likes of SNL's "Thursday Update," and "The Daily Show," or "The Colbert Report," as well as traditional news outlets like CNN, NBC, FOX, etc, there is no shortage of opinions and information for voters to ponder. Does the onslaught of election cover­ age take the hard work out of the hands of voters and prepare for them a perfectly packaged decision, depending on which channel you tune in to? FOX, undoubt­ edly will serve you a shiny McCain/Palin package, whereas CBS, perhaps thanks to a now infamous Couric/Palin interview, would supply viewers with a glittery fu­ ture in the hands of Obama/Biden. But in this election cycle, the media has em­ braced humor as an approach to interest voters, which will not only attract a new audience to the political rhetoric but also influence their ultimate choice. While the media, often labeled as overly liberal, is doing its best to sway voters toward Obama, it is also encour­ aging eligible citizens with every chance they get to go out and vote (or "Ba-Rock the Vote," as the case may be). Either way, new interest has been drummed up in an election which will be historical no mat­ ter which party gets elected. Additionally, with the country facing some serious is­ sues, poking fun at politicians just may be the way to lighten the mood and re­ engage the voting public. With Tina Fey's impression of Sarah Palin, viewers not only get to laugh at the fact that Palin does in fact get more adorable when cornered, but also how her stance on foreign policy may be con­ fusing and not all together credible (re­ ally, does seeing Russia from your home give you credence?). And because of her relatively unknown stature prior to being picked as McCain's running mate, many voters only know Palin as Tina Fey inter­ prets her. While the purpose of the SNL specials is clearly to make fun of candidates, picking up on the often absurd nature of the campaign, "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" uses this tactic in another way. By using sound bites, such as Mario Lopez's "candid and fun" interview with Barack Obama, and actual interviews Because of with the candidates, Stewart narrows in her relatively on main issues and simplifies arguments, unknown though his political leaning cannot be denied. stature prior to Pop culture political throw-ins seem being picked as to be everywhere this election season, with Nazis sporting McCain/Palin pins on McCain's running "Family Guy," to Marc Jacobs storefronts mate, many blasting Sarah Palin, even to Oprah's Obama endorsement. It is difficult to voters only know imagine weeding out all the pop culture Palin as Tina Fey influences and narrowing in on the is­ sues as the candidates present them. interprets her. At the end of the day, however, you and I cast our individual ballot, and we must answer to ourselves, not the media. Collage by Mike Thompson uwmpost.com fringe November 3,2008 17

Skip-along melodies sure to be hit Lenka's debut album provides a happy release

By AbbyJacobsen Staff Writer

The sounds of Lenka are unique, just as unique as her name. The Australian singer, by way of Yugoslavia, released her solo self-titled album in September of this year and with all the press it has been receiving, should be taking off quite soon. The 11-song album consists of cheery up­ beat melodies, accompanied by various wind instruments, chimes and charming keyboard melodies. Yeasayer Frontman Chris Keating brings a little bit of Brooklyn to Milwaukee. Photo by Dale Reince/Pabst Theater. Even the more somber songs will have you tapping your feet along to the catchy beat. Opening with "The Show," Lenka introduces the vibe she is nrii trying to push through the entirety of her album. Her soft, bub­ >A* bly voice, cooing over high pitched chimes and an up tempo beat, lie* atHr makes listeners realize that "The Show" is a song made for skipping along to. While talking about people missing out on the real beauty isr finest Ictffsy in life and how they should "just enjoy the show," the song is actu­ ally an eye opener, though craftily disguised as a happy song. The album carries on the theme of eye openers with the song ^s lor Fall 2QQ< "Live Like You're Dying." The rhythm has a slower pace, allowing the ^ Accepting Apfs»cC lyrics to stick out more to the listener. "Live like you're dying and never stop trying/It's all you can do/Use what's been given to you" ring through the chorus as an obvious seize-the-day wakeup call. i/nll'lrtrt nje*/*m/*£k T/> Other songs on the album that will keep you bopping your head along to the beat include "Skipalong," "Knock Knock" and "Dangerous and Sweet." Each of the songs ooze with Lenka's sticky sweet voice, which coax the listener into a happy state of mind while drumming and nodding along with the beat. The song "Dangerous and Sweet" nicely blends her vocals, percussion, bass and a little hidden keyboard tune in the background, giving it that extra happy kick to the melody. x$wm The song "Trouble is a Friend" lays out a great example of how sugar, spice and everything spunk can all mix together. The feisty tone of voice that comes through the speakers to mix with the low bass and piano in the verses are offset by the normal sweet voice and jolly upbeat rhythm that tango back and forth throughout llrThe Park the song. This helps vocalize the love-hate relationship she has with "Trouble," like when she howls, "I won't let him win, but I'm a sucker for his charm."
