Sorry for the delays again: the blog has been put on a short li'l hiatus while I move to the City of Champions, aka Pittsburgh, PA. Packing all of my essential goods into the back of a Ford Taurus, searching for an apartment, and trying to break into the job market have taken enough of my time, so I haven't been able to consider music the way I'd really like to. Rest assured, I haven't given up on TWS; the coming weeks will bring exciting entries about the likes of Elvis Presley and Talk Talk, among others.
For now, we'll have to content ourselves with this gem. In 1985, Pittsburgh was voted the most livable city in America. This designation provided fodder for two musical developments: it became the name of the Pittsburgh-based group the 1985s (featuring local indie celebrity Randy Costanza), and it led to the commissioning of this beautiful number by a now-unknown artist. Pittsburgh was awarded this honor once again last year; we can only hope that this return to the number one spot will inspire a work of art somewhere remotely close to this
