Jenny (not Owens Young!) Owen Youngs is, in my view, the "breakout" artist of the year. Granted she gained some prominence in 2006 when her "Fuck Was I" (from her 2005 record Batten the Hatches) landed a prime spot on Showtime's Weeds. But, her joining forces with Nettwerk (one of the best labels going) and gaining a fan in "gossip gangsta" Perez Hilton, have catapulted her to deserved indie darling status.

Now the witty "love" song that asks the question that we have all asked ourselves "What the fuck was I thinking?" now has a video - unfortunately the key lyric is edited out, but you still get the gist of this brilliant tune.



Check out an uncensored live version here and if you haven't seen it yet, the clip for her equally brilliant cover of Nelly's "Hot in Herre".
