Weedz/Meyer Hawthorne


I've been marathoning on Showtimes original series "Weeds" (shout out to a person who shall not be named for putting me on) for the past couple days, and have gotten through two seasons in record time. The show is hilarious; watch that. Anyway, a lot of people have probably heard of the show's title song "Little Boxes", written and originally recorded by uber-Hippie Malvina Reynolds. The song is ill if you haven't heard it before. Throughout each episode, a new artist covers the opening theme; a cool little way of getting us who have it previously recorded not to skip that shit. I saw an article the other day about this dude Meyer Hawthorne, new dude from Michigan, white dude at that, with a soul/retro vibe, on some Curtis Mayfield shit. That's crazy. He also has the falsetto voice down-pact, which I appreciate because I work on mine every morning in the shower. I'm pretty much biting the whole post from where I heard about dude, but fuck it. Download his cover of "Little Boxes" after the jump, the music video for "Just Ain't Gonna Work Out", Mr. Meyer goes in.
