hi

welp. i'm back home in NYC, and done with touring for the year.

i'll still be around online, but i'm now planning a big long break with no musical bookings for awhile. i suppose that could change at any moment, but...for now, i want to stay in one place, work on some other things, and avoid airports at all costs. :)

i want to say a huge HUGE thank you for all the support & interest this year. thank you for coming to my shows, for buying my music & t-shirts, for spreading the word about my ridiculousness to your friends.

i've gotten to do so many cool things and none of it would have happened without your help & generosity. so thank you.

i'd like to end this year's "i suck at life" tour with some really special words.

---

don't forget that CHRISTMAS REALLY SUCKS is available on jaybrannan.bandcamp.com (as well as itunes, amazon, etc.), and you'll definitely want to pick up your "USED" t-shirt on jaybrannanstore.com

"unmastered" (my first 4-song EP) is also available on bandcamp, and i have posted "Soda Shop" (the song from Shortbus) for FREE, for anyone who doesn't have it yet

i'm excited to announce that i will be donating 20% OF ALL SALES ON JAYBRANNAN.BANDCAMP.COM through December 31, 2009 to AIDS Research Alliance (aidsresearch.org) [**don't worry if you've already made a purchase...this plan is retroactive to when i first starting using bandcamp :)]

hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!! how's it going? you haven't heard from me in a minute or two, but i'm still alive, for the time being.

and i have a XMAS SONG!! available next Tue Nov 17th at jaybrannan.bandcamp.com - for just $1!! (it might be on iTunes, etc., at some point...but i don't know when)

bandcamp is a new site i'm trying out that gives (almost) ALL the money to the artist, directly & immediately....with only PayPal fees being deducted. (note: you do NOT need a PayPal account, just a credit card! and it works worldwide). which means more ramen for me, and i don't have to wait a year to get the money buy it!

if you don't have my 1st EP "Unmastered" - it's already up! click the bandcamp link above

---

also, i've designed a NEW T-SHIRT that is a website exclusive!! click here to love it

i've started taking Italian lessons, and was shopping for a textbook. because they're so damn expensive, i was looking up prices of used ones, which all have those yellow "USED" stickers on the spine, and thought....omg. i know exactly how those books feel.

and the latest t-shirt in the jay brannan collection was born.

i am still doing LIVE BROADCASTS for the remaining 2 Sundays in August at 4pm NYC time.

however, due to some technical difficulties with the last site, i have decided to try out a new site. until further notice, i will be broadcasting on http://ustream.tv/channel/jaybrannan

merch volunteers for europe!

since i tour alone on foot, in trains, on planes....it is verrry difficult to get CDs/tshirts to shows in europe. BUT i'm trying to have a few CDs on hand for each show, and i need 1 volunteer for each city to help me sell them :)

i may not have CDs at every show, but i'm going to try, so if you are interested in helping out a poor starving American traveler, please do the following:

send an email to jaybrannanretailsquad@gmail.com, with your:
1. name
2. which show you would like to volunteer for
3. city where you live
4. age
5. email address
6. phone number

i am going to have someone else arrange the volunteers for me in the next week or two, and unfortunately i don't currently have time to respond to every person who offers to help, but thank you in advance sooooooooo much, because this really really helps me to make back at least a little bit of my expensive touring costs

see you soon!!

i will be doing LIVE broadcasts EVERY sunday in August at 4 p.m. NYC time on justin.tv/jaybrannan/old!!

i'll sing a couple songs, maybe answer a couple questions....who knows. whatever it is, it's sure to be a little ludicrous, and of course you want to be there.
