Prick Up Your Ears: Shortbus's Jay Brannan

If you saw Shortbus, I'm sure the thing that you remember most about it is the music. Okay, maybe on the fifth watch, after the exact measurements of Paul Dawson were wallpapered permanently onto your retinas.

But the music of the film is really gorgeous, and much of it stems organically from the performers themselves, including the incredibly talented Jay Brannan. Jay plays the precocious-but-lovable young Ceth in the film (the potential third to the main gay couple, played by Dawson and PJ DeBoy), and there's a moment when he picks up a guitar and performs a short song that's quite impressive.

Turns out the guy is a serious musician, and has his first video (for his song "Body's a Temple") up on YouTube for us to enjoy. Check it out!
