...more compelling of these tricks is Tarantino's playing with a kind of leitmotif song for a couple of characters, but this fades in and out and becomes a frustrating medley selection from, we are assured in reports, his extensive LP collection. Indulgence and soundtrack worship reaches an unbelievable point when we are forced to watch Forster's bondsman go to a record store, browse among tapes, and finally buy, quite clearly, a Delfonics hit. The merchandisers of old chestnut love songs must be rejoicing with a future return more guaranteed than the suddenly fortunate surf bands...
...hesitate for a second in pouncing on the story. The president's opponent, in fact, takes it upon himself to broadcast a new commercial urging the masses not to vote for a "man who's lost his integrity"--the message is hilariously set against the background of the song, "Thank Heaven for Little Girls." Amidst all the frenzy, mysterious political consultant Conrad Brean (Robert De Niro) is called to resolve the catastrophe. Perfectly calm and entirely confident, Brean devises his master plan...

The spot breathed new life into its sound-track song, a 1982 release by the now defunct German band Trio. It also created bumper-to-bumper parodies that replicated the ad down to the most minute detail, with everyone from Jay Leno to Bill Gates taking a joyride in a Golf...
...result is a slow-burning, meditative album that brings all these genres together. This is healing music about magic and love, racism and reincarnation, late-night parties and Afro picks. Badu's voice is a natural wonder, sharp and metallic, wounded and sad, yearning for empathy in one song, decrying injustice in the next. Her brilliant companion CD, Live, which captures concert performances of the songs on Baduizm, shows she's more than another '90s studio creation. She's the most thrilling new voice...
