Beautiful song choices Jay! I can't wait to hear them! I really wish you'd included a cover of Tina Arena's "Not for Sale" that really would have been amazing!

PS. 'I suck at life'? So negative :P

mü said...

I am excited to get your new album soon :)
I like the T-Shirt as well ;) Don't worry about it, but the German translation has a little mistake in it - a missing article ("ein").

Wishing you all the best :)

Hi Jay.....I've ordered ! Now I guess everybody will ask why you didn't include this or that song....I would love you to have included "Denmark"...I still think it's one of your most moving songs...but I have the recording of it from your Dublin gig....that concert was so enjoyable/perfect/intimate....and you were so charming even after 72 hours without sleep. Thank you for a fantastic gig. Rick.

Steven said...

will it be available on itunes?

like the tshirt idea, but only wish you had checked spelling/grammar for all the languages u used.

noticed some mistakes here and there... the arabic lettering is all wrong btw

Jay Brannan said...

i did check it with about a thousand different people. and some of the grammatical "errors" are intentional. the arabic lettering is the way it is because my computer does not have an arabic font that joins the letters.

so fuck off.

I like this song, you perform it well with another feeling. warm voice but cold melody. by the way, I am from hong kong. Let me check out whether HKHMV has your album to sell :D support you ! Nice to meet you:)

Chris said...

Dommage que les pages ne soient pas traduites en français, la reprise de zombie en tout cas est vraiment très réussie!

Brian the Bird said...

I can't wait to get this. I really want to see you in San Fransisco I just hope I have the money.

phjs said...

Gosh... I can't wait anymore! I got to have soon! Love you Jay!

Jay I have pre-ordered the new album and I would love to order a T shirt but alas they don't do them in XXL so I will have to lose some more wieght before I can wear one,(we're not all as fit and thin as you you know, what a shame. Ian x

Brent said...

Howdy Jay. This has nothing to do with your post (although I'm stoked to hear the new album) but I blogged recently about gay culture in the US and quoted and excerpt from one of your blog entries. Thought you might be interested in reading it. http://thejunesky.net/index.php/site/comments/i_hate_gay_culture/

your "zombie" cover left me greatly impressed and also eager for this album to come out. greetings from croatia

OMG! What a great news! I can't wait any longer!

Alyson said...

The Portuguese Phrase on the T-Shirt made me laugh a lot!

I'm used to see or hear that in English, but in my native language... It was unexpected.

I Loved it!
