Does anyone here know the singer/songwriter Jay Brannan?  If you've seen the movie Shortbus you might recognize him as the guy who was playing the character "Ceth". He also performed his own song Sodashop in the movie. Anyway, I just wanted to spread the word about him because I think he's a really talented guy (he's got such a beautiful voice...) and in his youtube videos he always seems very sweet and funny. Not to mention that he's really hot! ;D Go here to check out his YT vids. Other interesting sites: his Myspace Profilehis Official Sitehis BlogI'd love to hear your thoughts!  |

He's absolutely amazing, and gorgeous.
I bought the album he did by himself through a small american website. He signed every single album, put a photo of himself on the front cover and wrote the titles by hand. I can't help myself but think that one day this piece of artwork will be worth a lot of money because I'm sure he'll become very famous. He's actually recording a real disc which should be out pretty soon.
I hope he'll come to Germany one day because I wasn't able to get a ticket when he's been performing in London.

Yeah, I know about his upcoming album and I'm very excited about it.  I think it's very impressive that he's producing it all by himself. Unfortunately, I didn't get my hands on one of his "Disaster Piece" records because there was only a limited amount of discs out for sale.  But I do hope he'll come to Europe again (soon)! Hopefully in the summer because it's the best time for me to travel (since I'm still in university). |

Yep. I got the email telling where you could bye the disasterpiece and clicked on the link right away. Without thinking about it I bought it within 5 minutes. So I was lucky because half an hour later they already had run out of it. ;D

After more than a month Jay has finally updated his blog! He wrote about his trip to Brazil and posted a few nice pictures as well. I love reading his blog because I always find his entries hilarious! ;D He also put up a new YT vid where he's attempting to play the theme song of the super mario bros on a piano. LOL. There's also a really hot Brazilian guy in the background...  |

I really really want to see how he is live but unfortunately I'm going to be on vacation both days that he's playing in New York. But he lives there so I'm sure I'll get another opportunity at some point.

Check out the official music video of Jay's song Housewife --> HERE. The single will be available on iTunes (and other digital download stores) on May 27. Also, as mentioned above, Jay's first album Goddamned will be in stores in July but you can already pre-order it here (along with some t-shirts). And finally, check out his tour dates (so far only for the US) if you'd like to come to one of his shows. Oh, and if you like his music don't forget to SPREAD THE WORD about him! |

I'd forgotten abou tuntil I saw the screencaps and was like "oh yea" but then I was little more than indifferent to Shortbus. Not bad, but it didn't do much for me. I didn't quite get the concept of "Shortbus", but it is daring in terms of its presentation. Explicitly done but don't know for what reasons. But I must say the actors have gave their all and I give them credit for doing that. It's not easy though, especially if you are not a porn star. Off-track: And by the way, I've just caughts a documentary (ie. "Exposed") on gay porn movie. It's a behind-the-scene thingy. And I must say it's NOT easy to be a porn star too. SALUTE to all porn stars!! |

I pre-ordered the CD one of the first days it was possible to do so, and Shortbus is one of my all time fav movies.
And now I'm going to spread the word about the fabulous Jay Brannan on Stern's new website clumn about new artists.
I really hope that he'll come to Germany one day because I couldn't get tickets for his London concerts.

Jay's album was released on itunes on Tuesday and it's even more amazing than I thought it would be. Nothing I could ever say would do justice to his genius writing ability, you just need to listen to it.

Jay Brannan will be coming to Germany. Here are his tour dates: Oct 19 Hamburg Prinzenbar Oct 20 Berlin Roter Salon Oct 21 Köln Studio 672 If anybody is thinking about going to the concert in Köln, don't bye the tickets from the link provided on Jay's website. They are way too expensive there. On www.offticket.de you can get them for only 11 € all incl. I guess there are more ways to bye tickets, but that's where I got mine from. |
