Every episode of Showtime’s Weeds opens with a different cover of Malvina Reynolds folk song “Little Boxes”, People like Randy Newman and Rilo Kiley and stuff. It’s nice. So, I thought if I covered the song myself (little-boxes by mike!) and then posted it somewhere on the magic internet machine, people from the show would stumble upon it and demand that it be used to open the show.  Or, I’d get a cease and desist letter like that time Time-Warner Cable told me stop downloading the second season of Sliders.  Here’s my version of the song followed by a list of people who worked on the show in case they’re out there googling themselves and find there name:
