Earlier today I saw ReadyToGo's post which featured the song "Little Boxes," now the theme song of Weeds. I had a good think and realized this is the song that is most often stuck in my head. With every episode the theme is reinterpreted by contemporary acts, but I love her voice so much that I prefer the original. So here's to having it stuck in my head.
The song is by Malvina Reynolds, a woman who got her doctorate at UC Berkeley and started her music career when she was in her late 40s.

I recently watch every episode of Weeds (yea, I'm hooked now) and the first thing I said when I started watching was "This is the best theme song ever!" It's nice to see something else by Malvina. Thanks :)

Good post, brittany.
Anyone who has the confidence to start their "music career" in their 40's is A-OK with me!

If you're in the Bay Area, you can go see the houses that were Reynolds' inspiration in Daly City. If they're not the ones visible on the hillside from I280, they ought to be.

hehe, yes, it was only upon getting to the bay area that i understood exactly what Agrestic must feel like! I have never been out to Daly City to see them though. That's cool to know! Thanks redtunictroll.

Cool Lady - nice post.
My mum introduced me to this song 'Little Boxes' last year after I told her my husband and I were going to live on a boat. I think she thought it was cool that we were going to do something a little different. I immediately downloaded the song and instantly loved it :-)

Awesome! I never knew the history, but have always loved it on Weeds. Especially The Decemberists version, but I'm biased.
