Suburban Field Journal

Did you know that we have a theme song out in the suburbs? Yes, you must have known this post was coming. It's the song "Little Boxes". It was written all the way back in 1962 by Malvina Reynolds but most people know it as the theme/opening song from the show Weeds. I think it perfectly captures the spirit, or rather lack thereof, out here in the 'burbs.

Speaking of Weeds....I always thought the opening sequence was rather genius. In Seasons 2 & 3, a different group or artist performed the song for each show. As I love music, I couldn't wait to see what was coming next. In case you've never seen Weeds, you can find a video of the opening sequence here.
