Songs to listen to on your iPod …

August 30, 2006 Natalia

while walking around in the Andy Warhol Museum. Don’t ask me why, but I’m on a music kick lately! I found this fun playlist on this cute web site called “tiny mix tapes.” Someone by the handle Compulis compiled this list. IheartPGH – not only do we provide you with the quirks of this city, we also provide the soundtrack! Compiled by: Cropulis Note from Cropulis: Songs about the man, by the people he worked with and reflective pieces on the life of Warhol in a sort of mood piece. 01. Lou Reed & John Cale- “A Dream” (Songs for… Read the rest

Joe Grushecky – Rock’s best-kept secret

August 29, 2006 Natalia

PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania (CNN) — Music critics place him among the best rock and rollers ever. Over the past two decades, he’s raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for all kinds of causes, including headlining a sold-out (in 57 minutes!) “Flood Aid” benefit concert last December in Pittsburgh with his good buddy Bruce Springsteen. He’s a musician, singer, songwriter, record producer, music arranger, recording artist — and he leads what’s been described in top music publications as “one of the best bar bands in America.” Like Iron City Beer and the DVE morning show, the music of Joe Grushecky is known… Read the rest

Girl Talk

August 25, 2006 Natalia

Greg Gillis aka Girl Talk is a Pittsburgh DJ who put out his third full-length release Night Ripper this spring. The indie purists over at Pitchfork Media give Mr. Talk’s album a rating of 8.4/10 and those cats don’t like anything. The Washington City Paper describes Night Ripper as “the triple Salchow-double toe combination” of mash-ups. (Yes, yes, it is supposedly the “soundtrack of summer,” so please forgive the fact that I haven’t gotten this post out until now. Look, there’s still a lot of back-to-school partying to do!) Pitchfork’s new MP3 “Infinite Mixtape” blog can’t stop gushing: “We’ve been… Read the rest

What’s a strength for our community to build on?

August 22, 2006 Natalia

I recently found this Dec. 2005 discussion between the City Paper (CP), Wilkinsburg councilwoman Tracey Evans and three Mon-Valley mayors, including John Fetterman of Braddock, Betty Esper of Homestead, and Norma Ryan of Brownsville. I thought this interview provides a creative view of Mon-Valley strengths – it’s not all gloom and doom! (Links added by your truly. 🙂 CP: What’s a strength for your community to build on? Evans: Definitely the housing stock. Just beautiful houses, the proximity to the city and the accessibility to the East Busway and Frick Park. Ryan: Our assets are probably our potential for tourism… Read the rest
