# Place Names

A curated list by [piXelbreach](https://waxlog.com/user/pixelbreach) on Waxlog, submitted to the **Place Names** challenge.

> Every record here carries a place in its title – a city, a country, a river, an island. Together they draw a map of where music was made and where it longed to be: Chicago warehouses, Manhattan skylines, a divided Berlin, a night in Bangkok. No live recordings – the place belongs to the song, not the venue.
