Mixtape Rewind

Hey guys, it's Friday again, and you know what that means... I've let the Mixtape Rewind fall under the radar for a few weeks, but it's back and this time we've got a pick from The Porn Librarian. Jenny Owen Youngs doing an awesome cover of an oldie but goodie from '02. Let the mis-pronunciation of "here" commence... along with some giant polar bears and penguins. And though this is a porn blog, this has nothing to do with furries... we promise.



Nice. Here are a few snippets from her myspace page.

Jenny Owen Youngs is a feisty, hyper-sensitive, disease-free singer/songwriter/former girl scout who wants to be your friend. claiming influences from Beck to Jesus Christ Superstar to Britney Spears, her music is an echo of Erin Mckeown hopping into Jeff Buckley's Pontiac, cruising backwoods Alabama red dirt roads and singing along to The Sundays and Nick Drake. Her songs straddle the heart-wrenching and the tongue-in-cheek and say giddyup.

Her current goals include musically causing the hair on your arms to stand up, learning greek, and like fellow jersey boy Jon Bon, seeing a million faces and rocking them all.

Anyone who references Bon Jovi is a-ok in my book.

Have a good weekend.
