So on another soundtrack note..... if you haven't seen the Showtime series DVD Weeds, go rent it.

I can't get enough of the leading lady, Mary Louise Parker. She is so delectable, and convincing as a weed-slinging dealer trying to save her kids from Beezelbub himself.

Incidentally the soundtrack is scored by Joey Santiago, of the Pixes fame.

The leading song for Weeds is Little Boxes by Malvina Reynolds. Joanna Newsom could have ripped off Reynold's sound from tone to technique for all I know; it's extremely similar. Little Boxes is warm and fun and reminds me of being a child. Her voice is absolutely entrancing. Sometimes you can't describe why you like something, perhaps that will be why I will never make it to music-writer fame, but you know that it hits you somewhere good. Malvina Reynolds does this to me.

Give it a listen.
