Regina Spektor

Here s a PSA for childhood literacy produced by The Roots, featuring the voice talents of Jack Black, Chris Martin, John Legend, Regina Spektor, Jim James, Nate Ruess, Jason Schwartzman, Melanie Fiona, Carrie Brownstein, Consequence, and Levar Burton (Burton is a frickin literacy-curiosity-inspiring powerhouse.) It s just a fun, happy one-minute video about literary characters hanging out, and it seems like something kids would really like (do kids still like things these days, or only that damn Nintendo?) You could say they re really attacking the ROOTS of the problem? BOOM! AND THE ROOTS THEMSELVES CAN PLAY THE RIMSHOT! It s all gonna work out fine, people: (via CriticalMob)
