crumbler:

Something called Loft Life Magazine — “The Loftstyle Guide to Life in the City” — gets a tour of Wilco’s Chicago loft. The loft pops up a lot in I Am Trying to Break Your Heart, and was used more recently to record parts of Andrew Bird’s record and Wilco’s own “You and I” duet with Feist. It is very beautiful and reportedly filled with dozens of rare and spectacular instruments, such as Nels Cline’s Extended Wankmaster guitar with 16 whammy bars (perfect for soloing) and a set of bongo drums with Jay Farrar’s face painted on the skins.

(Incidentally, it’s kind of hard to see where Loft Life Magazine goes from here. “You guys know any other famous lofts?” “Um … Didn’t Friends take place in a loft?” “Yes, Alan, we’ve done four stories on it in the last year.” “Well shit.”) (via)

The simple fact that Loft Life Magazine exists is the most encouraging piece of news I’ve heard about the state of print media in months. (Don’t ruin the dream by telling me it’s online only.)
