Lauren Zettler
I think we should make the decision right here and right now to just treat each other as idols rather than peers from here on out. Like, when we’re playing that show together in NYC on March 11th at...
“A Jenny/Allison Weiss UK tour and collaborative song about pancakes and waffles.”

Cristian took this of me last night. Hi Jenny!
Reblogging Lauren Zettler's i just wrote a song
allthegoodstuff:
but it sounds really familiar to me. and sometimes that’s an awesome thing because it just means it sounds really true to you. but sometimes it’s not awesome because you just ripped someone else off. tbd….
Andrew Lloyd Webber once hired a team of music-critic professionals to prove to him that a piece he had created was in fact original because he felt it was so familiar...

Got to be good-looking...”

Say no to boybands
Yesterday I said no to the first boyband show of 2009. It was also the first show I’ve been invited to that I’ve actively decided to not attend. I’ve seen many boybands in the past, along with girlbands, rockbands, elastic bands, acoustic acts, rap groups etc., but this is my first. And it was New Kids On The Block.
Someone show some pride in that decision.
On the flipside,...
hopeful happy sailing beginning together!

So I’ve intended to dig this little gem out of my myspace inbox for a while now, but I kept putting it off and as a result it got further and further into the depths. But the other day I spent 45 minutes searching for it and ALAS, here it is in all it’s glory.
I inititally thought this was a joke, but now I’m pretty convinced it was completely sincere. It’s important to know that I...

I'm not taking that old cow to work again →
A live cow being transported in the back of a car on the outskirts of Beirut has been filmed by a BBC cameraman.
I think that this is both cruel and yet cool. That cow is having a good time. Its like “woah guys, lets roll out”. Having said that, the cow should be transported in a much larger vehicle that provides safety. And it should wear a seatbelt. It should also not distract...
sometimes i write other things
Years ago I’d claim to be the best You were right to put me in my place back then Picked up the pen to craft my next Read it back through once, then twice and hit ‘send’ You read it through, and replied quite politely Said you like me, but didn’t match intent In fact you asked how I got so intense How I got to those same events Well, I guess… I said, matter of fact...

I want to make music and score things for low budget films and shorts. How do I break into that. Someone pay me to do that.
I totally had a dream two days ago that you scored the next Futurama movie. Make that happen. Take me to the premiere if they do those for futurama films. Otherwise send me the dvd please.
Thanks
Warner Vs YouTube: The Saga Continues
As much as I think this is a stupid fight for them to be having, I think its even stupider for YouTube to send me a copyright notice about a FRIEND OF MINE’s video. A video I hosted FOR them.
They know nothing of it, but as Warner Bros are related, it has been removed.
Go Warner. Its your birthday.
COCKS
Uke a lady
One of my cousins’ sons has a few disabilities which mean his attention span, and ability to stand/interact aren’t quite what they should be. My uncle Roger (see facebook), has been looking after his grandson, along with his wife Helen. They are doing a great job, and as Jordan, the child, grows he is also taking an interest in music. At first he wanted to learn to play an acoustic...

Titanic is actually a pretty cool movie.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve thought, “Should I go out tonight? I mean…Titanic is on TV right now.”
this was totally Adaline’s status yesterday. “I’m supposed to go out tonight, but Titanic is on. What do I do?”
WatchGoodbye 2008 The background song is The Age of Rockets - H Soft Escape, from the album Hannah, which is one of my favourite songs on the album. It happens to feat. Adam Christgau on drums and Jenny Owen Youngs doing backing vocals along with Bess Rogers, Andrew Futral and Saul-Simon Macwilliams. Its pretty great. In this are photographs that I have taken over the last year (and some photos from...

I am going to do a better job of finding a job this month.
I just need something for 3 days a week or so. An additional 800 bucks a month is all i really need to feel super comfortable.
Here is where you come in …
In march my current phone contract is up. If I have a job and like it … should I buy and use an iPhone?

Dear Fans (yes, all minus 4 of you), Lately we haven’t been posting that much Jenny’s, we know that. You knew that, too. But we have the best excuse in the world. We have been busy lately. Very busy. We had the best idea in the world: We were going to make the first, the only, the best Jenny game on the planet and far beyond. Behold: Jenny Owen Who?. Below is a small preview of...
