Black Angels vs Jay Brannon

Anyone who has seen the move Shortbus will have no trouble remembering Jay Brannan.  His contribution to the movie soundtrack was fit in perfectly, but I had a hard time listening to him for an entire album.  He certainly is beautiful, but I don't find him to be a strong enough singer to sustain my interest for an entire album.   I did find a cover of The Freshman that swayed me a little, but that gem is outside this review.

The Black Angels were new to me and psychedelic rock was a welcome change.  The Angels certainly pass the "is this an acceptable soundtrack for walking the NYC streets?" test.   When I left the office today after 10 hours, Sniper at the Gates of Heaven really hit the spot.

Winner:  The Black Angels, Passover
