Hallo,
Next week James is going back to Germany for a few weeks. You can
seem him off by coming to his show at the Living Room this Friday,
Jan. 23rd, at 10:30pm.
Auf Wiedersehen!
hey just a note to remind you that james is playing 930 tomorrow
night at pete's candy store in brooklyn. im trying to remember and
i dont think he's played there before...has he? that would make it
the second historic event this month. ok, well, maybe not that
historic.
also dont forget to check out the new record at www.myspace.com/LEVY
here's a link for directions to petes candy store. http://
www.petescandystore.com/petes_map.html
...or something like that.
james levy, having recently been appointed to obama's transitional
team in washington, is taking a break from politics to play a show at
pete's candy store in brooklyn on wednesday the 12th of november.
secret service agents have confirmed that 930 is the time.
more good news--james' new solo record "blood red rose" is now
available for download directly from www.myspace.com/levy or you can
buy an old fashioned CD at cdbaby, the link is on the myspace page too.
what else, what else? oh, right. after pete's candy store,
president-elect obama, after consulting with michelle, malia, and
sasha, has decided to send james on a musical mission to germany and
england under the guise of "doing a tour" some dates are already
sold out, so get tickets ahead of time if youre planning on going.
or ask barack obama to put you on the list, i guess. he's pretty
busy, though.

could just make it for you:
picture it
now--lying on sundrenched, white sand. crystal clear waters lapping
your toes. a fruity cocktail with a paper umbrella in one hand, a
special someone's hand in the other.
chances are this probably
isnt going to happen on saturday, but what WILL happen on saturday is
LEVY at pianos on ludlow street in their last show of the year and
their only new york show for a while. it's the christmas present you
were hoping for.
LEVY saturday 15 dec 07 pianos (ludlow and stanton) midnight $8
and hey, you can still have the crystal clear water. it just comes from the tap instead of the ocean.
on december 4th, 1959 a monkey returned to earth safely after being launched into orbit 55 miles high by the united states space program. to put that into a little bit of perspective, we live in the troposphere, within about 7 miles of the earth's surface. after that comes the stratosphere, which goes about 29 miles above the earth's surface. that damn monkey was literally out of this world.
48 years later, celebrate a monkey's return to earth with a show by YVEL. The show's at 930 at the living room right here in new york city.
happy canadian thanksgiving, glorious is out today!
it's available pretty much everywhere you could think of in europe and the UK, or if you dont want to get your butt out of that chair or buy a plane ticket just to go record shopping feast your eyes on these links:
LEVY has been chosen for Steve Lamacq’s rebel playlist. For those of you who may not know, Steve Lamacq is a well known UK DJ. Every week he chooses his "rebel playlist" on BBC6 Music of tracks he's selected as his favorites. He then asks the listeners to vote for their favorite and the winner gets played on the radio all next week. This week LEVY's new single Glorious is in the running. so..........
the great thing about 3-day weekends in the city is that the lines are shorter, the sidewalks and trains are less crowded, and the shows are better. it's a fact.
LEVY at Joe's Pub saturday the 1st of september 425 lafayette st (just down from astor place--you know, where the Kmart is) show starts promptly at 930 w Louis tickets $12
Away from his family's warm hearth for the first time on the battlefields of WWI France, the boy, for that's the only word for this 17-year-old soldier, slogged his way through the mud from foxhole to trench to trench to foxhole in the freezing rain, his only thought "I'm doing this so that 90-odd years from now kids in New York can go see LEVY play at Club NME at the Annex on Orchard St." Don't let him down.

Once upon a time in Barcelos, a small town in the north of Portugal, a man was to be hanged for a crime he did not commit.
He swore his innocence but found no alibi to prove the truth of his affirmations.
Under a sudden impulse of faith, he appealed to his patron Saint, St. James, for divine protection, and he pleaded to be released from the injustice of his sentence.
He then asked to be allowed to enter into the presence of the Judge. As this was to be his last wish, the Judge received him in his dining room where he was having a meal.
Once again, the man under sentence of death swore his innocence, and in sudden defiance to Providence he declared that the roasted cock which lay on a tray on the Judge's table would stand up and crow if his statements were really true.
The rooster immediately jumped up from the tray and crowed vigorously.
The Judge, with much public acclaim and ceremony, made him a free man.
As this legend has passed from generation to generation through the centuries, the Cock of Barcelos has become a symbol of faith, justice and good luck.

the pages in my recipe book must have been stuck together like that
time on "friends" when rachel combined the recipes for trifle and
shepherd's pie.
luckily, this mistake isnt quite so gross.
so why dont you make it to the living room at 9 tonight to see YVEL.
