1 note on Tumblr Just last year, musician Andrew Bird spent four days recording at the Loft. He spent the entire first day arranging the studio space just to get the right violin sound. Using microphones placed around the room, he was able to pick up the acoustics of his violin as well as the sound of the amps bouncing off the walls. The sixty-plus guitars sitting around the room all hummed along, as the vibrations from everything else shook and resonated the steel strings, adding even more texture to the sound. The Loft is, essentially, an instrument of its own. —The Wilco loft

I wasn't planning to dress up for "last day at the office before Halloween,"

but after looking in the mirror, I’ve realized that I’m wearing a sweet “web developer circa 2006 who made a poor tie choice” costume.

∞ Reuters: Canwest says National Post could close after Friday

blownspeakers:

Although, it’s not really a reflection on the state of print media:

“The National Post Company has been unprofitable since its inception, recording annual losses as high as approximately C$60 million in 2001,” Canwest said.

Also, good-fucking-riddance.

“The B.C. Civil Liberties was leaked a government document detailing plans to detain homeless people against their will during severe weather. BCCLA executive director David Eby says it’s a plan to get the homeless off the streets during the Olympics in February next year.

— Locking up the homeless for the Winter Olympics

I’m at work and haven’t actually listened to the audio, but it’s from Rabble.ca so I can only assume that the headline is more than a little exaggerated. What I do know, however, is that Vancouver is opening up extra shelters (per usual) during the Winter, but this year the police are being given “instructions” to get more people to use them. The reasoning behind people not wanting to use the shelters are that they sometimes won’t allow pets/partners/etc.

Anyway, I guess Vancouver’s also up in arms this week about not being able to buy expensive drinks at restaurants. So that’s something.
