Actually, sweet isn't a word I'd use to describe Jenny Owen Youngs ... hysterical with her wry sense of humor & askewed-view of the world surrounding her. She's another one with fantastic lyrics & vocally has a Bjork, Erin McKeown-y vibe. But it's her lyrics & witty banter that got me hooked ! She even did an *acoustic* version of It's Getting Hot in Herre with the bassist & other guitarist singing the responses ... after 4 Magners, I nearly fell off my chair laughing ! "Love grows in me like a tumor, a parasite bent on devouring its host - I'm developing my sense of humor until I can laugh at my heart between your teeth, until I can laugh at my face beneath your feet - skillet on the stove, it's such a temptation, maybe I'll be the lucky one that doesn't get burned. What the F*** was I thinking". I just LOVED her ... sardonic wit, hey what's not to love, plus ... Hot in Herre - she obviously sees through to my deepest desire ...*to be a hoochy-momma on one of those Nelly videos ... baby got BACK ;)* No Thong Song though - that's just degrading :) Then she comes in with:"I still got three fingers left on this hand, take of your belt and I'll do what I can for you. You sure look like you could be some kind of fun, now maybe it's true you're more gifted than most, you'll still be remembered by the notch in my bedpost". Dag this girl is for real. There's not a place she won't go to - and I'd probably follow her the entire way ... just tweaked in the right way - ya know ...
