Last night, I watched the entire 2nd season of Showtime's comedic drama, 'Weeds' (love the brilliant program, but that's for another blog entry). Now, in the initial season, all shows began w/ the title song 'Little Boxes' by Malvina Reynolds. Well, as 'Weeds' gained popularity, other artists (Elvis Costello, Death Cab for Cutie, Joan Baez, Linkin Park, to name a few) offered their talents to record different interpretations of the 50-second intro. So I was really stoked when the 10th episode of Season 2 featured one of my favorite musicians, Regina Spektor, doing her version:
A couple years ago, I flipped over her sensational single 'Fidelity':
Regina continues to produce great music. Here's her latest vid featuring the radio recut of 'Better':
I've always had a soft spot for talented female vocalists...Natalie Merchant, Aimee Mann, Norah Jones, etc. Clearly, Spektor fits the bill.
Where's her Grammy already?!

I guess you gotta do what feels right in your heart. If you really feel that disconnect from your roots then maybe it is time to reconnect. Is it something that could maybe just be a really long, extended vacation to really spend time with your parents but then have the option to come back to your own life if you feel like you miss that too? I guess that’s just where my mind goes. I’ve always felt the need to get away from my parents. However, I still can’t fight off the natural instinct to worry about them and miss them. Do you think you’re happier here or there?
