Ghosts. No Christmas is complete without them. They arrive uninvited and no matter what you do, you can't turn them away. I don't mean to sound flip. I am most sincere. And I'm not talking about Scrooge-like ghosts. I'm talking about anyone, anything that you loved or still do love and who you can't be with, a place you wish you were, or memories of a time in your life that you wish st...

Been on rotation on the puter and ipod... cant get enough of it!!!Appeals to me cos someone had to guts to say it as it is.....Love grows in me like a tumor,parasites bent on devouring its host.I'm developing my sense of humor,till I can laugh at my heart between your teeth,till I can laugh at my face beneath your feet.Skillet on the stove is such a temptation,maybe I'll be the lucky one that d...

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 ...

Led To the Sea is the forthcoming EP from Brooklyn singer/songwriter Jenny Owen Youngs.The centrepiece of the EP (out April 7th), is the title track "Led To the Sea". Combining pop, rock, and indie elements, "Led To the Sea" boasts a massive hook. Contrast this with lyrics and themes that can't be described as uplifting, and Youngs builds a suped-up Fiona Apple vibe for her work."Clean Break"

My latest music blog find is Jenny Owen Youngs. Her sound is kind of a cross between... Amy Millan, Maria Taylor, and Fiona Apple. I'm really digging the track, "Fuck Was I". It's basically an anthem for anyone who's done something stupid in a relationship. "Porchrail" and "From Here" are also great up-beat songs. The whole album seems like it'd be perfect to listen to while cruising in the car...
