Music reviews of Weeds: Music from the Original Series/O.S.T.

Music Review: Grows on you like a weed
Rating: 4 Stars

With "Queer As Folk" and "Sex and the City" history, and "The Sopranos" soon to follow suit, Showtime has unveiled a new controversy-courting series: "Weeds," the tale of a suburban widow who supports her family by becoming... a local pot dealer.

Opinions vary on the show itself -- either it's provocative or it's limp as a dead marijuana leaf, take your pick. But the soundtrack continues the current TV trend of memorable music, and has quite a few good bands and singers included on it.

There's a strong alt-rock, folky edge to this soundtrack. It kicks off with Malvina Reynolds' gently wobbly lo-fi, one of the weaker spots on this soundtrack, and follows on through to stuff like Peggy Lee's piano-led singing, Marion Black's heavy folky rock, and Joey Santiago's rippling, complex folksy tune.

But it excels on the indie-rock edge as well. Up-and-coming Scots "Sons and Daughters" create a heavy, hypnotic atmosphere with "Blood," which is enough to set your head spinning. That raw dark sound is lightened by the energetic indiepop of the New Pornographers, and the dreamily entrancing neo-folk of Sufjan Stevens.

Round it off with the bouncy pop melodies of the Be Good Tanyas, and Nelly McKay's catchily sweet "David. Add in the obvious choice for subtle hip-hop ("Ganja Babe," by Michael Franti and Spearhead"), and you have a well-rounded kind of sound for this show. There's little of everything -- pop, jazz, rock, hip-hop, and folk.

What is unusually appealing about this soundtrack is that it sounds a little rough and unpolished. From Sons and Daughters' roiling guitars to the lo-fi warbling at the start, there's always something raw-sounding for every polished bit of indiepop or jazz. However, the wild differences do make it feel... not exactly uneven, but certainly not quite balanced.

From hit indiepopsters to underground dark rockers, "Weeds" has an eclectic assortment of music. A somewhat disconnected collection, without much cohesion, but a wonderful collection with some glorious bands.

Description of Weeds: Music from the Original Series/O.S.T.

Music from the original series Weeds
Weeds is a funny title for a show about a funny plant, so you can expect the soundtrack to have a good sense of humor too. It does. "Little Boxes" takes aim at suburban life, while, per usual, Nellie McKay uses her slightly precious sound to typical, sarcastic effect. Michael Franti & Spearhead's "Ganja Babe" and NRBQ's "Wacky Tobacky" capture the subject matter so well that listening could lead to a contact high. And tracks from the New Pornographers and Sufjan Stevens are there to remind us that Showtime knows What's Hot Now. Don't worry if you've never seen the show--you don't need to enjoy Weeds to appreciate this excellent compilation. Of course, there's no conclusive, scientific evidence of harm to those who do. --Leah Weathersby
