Post-rock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Post-rock began to range from the slow, guitar-based ambience of Boxhead Ensemble, through the mid-tempo rock of Radiohead, to the up-tempo electronica of Stereolab. The connection with the indie scene is more closely related to the fact that post-rock music is often recorded on independent labels, and therefore sharing the same level of obscurity. Another genre closely related to post-rock is math rock, characterized by more percussive timbres, more dissonant harmonic gestures, and more prog-influenced arrangements. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Post-rock   (929 words)

Rock and roll - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Rock and roll (also spelled rock 'n' roll, especially in its first decade), is a genre of music that emerged as a defined musical style in the Southern United States in the 1950s, and quickly spread to the rest of the country, and the world (rhythm sample). Rock and roll emerged as a defined musical style in America in the 1950s, though elements of rock and roll can be heard in rhythm and blues records as far back as the 1920s. As a result, "rock and roll" now has two distinct meanings: either traditional rock and roll in the 1950s style, or later rock and even pop music which may be very far from traditional rock and roll (rhythm sample). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Rock_and_roll   (2516 words)

Post Rock's In The Making This post rock area is marked by the use of stone posts from the western border of Washington County, southwest for almost two hundred miles into the northern Ford County. I think not, the post rock is a large part of the history of the State of Kansas that is slowly fadeing away with the passing of time. In addition to its use in fences, clothes line post, stone sidewalks, well covers, tombstones, the attractive striped stone was used in constructing hundreds of homes, schools, churches, and bridges, giving the towns of post rock country a distinctive look. www.stjohnks.net /santafetrail/trail_photo_01/rockpost.html   (606 words)

Post Rock Museum Most post rocks were dressed with 3 or 4 shallow troughs (nicks) to hold wire strands in place but a few farmers drilled holes to thread wire through the post. Post rock fences were used over 40 thousand miles of country, predominately situated throughout Washington county 200 miles north to Ford county. Post rocks were quarried the same as building blocks, but the increased size and weight made moving them more difficult. www.rushcounty.org /PostRockMuseum   (1411 words)

Post-Rock - Free Music Downloads - MP3 Downloads - Download.com Music Post rock is a term coined in 1994 by music journalist Simon Reynolds referring to bands "using rock instrumentation for non-rock purposes." Post-rock bands abolished the riff--the repetitive, chord-based cornerstone of rock 'n' roll--in exchange for dynamic textures. Post rock has become an institution unto itself, and new directions are frequently being staked out, whether it's the gently undulating soundscapes of Iceland's Sigur Ros or the violin-based compositions of the Dirty Three. Many bands were inspired by the ambient jazz recordings of Talk Talk and the stuttering instrumentals of Slint. music.download.com /2001-8606_32-0.html   (242 words)

The Post-Rock Phenomenon, featuring Cul de Sac Post-rock bails out on the world of rock and goes "stratmospheric," leaving behind the posturing, the testosterone, and the formulae that defined pop/rock in all its forms for decades. Like a rocking Harry Partch, they invent and build some of their own instruments: the "contraption" is a 1940s Hawaiian lap-steel guitar mounted on a baby casket, stuffed with effects boxes and played, to most alarming effect, with kitchen utensils.

The Cincinnati Post - Rock hall turns 10 Indeed, most who go do "get it." The museum is hardly an entombment of rock, but rather a living celebration of the music, with listening booths, videos, giant-screen tributes to the inductees and a swirl of photos, posters, artifacts and memorabilia. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland quietly turned 10 years old last month and it is now taken for granted that the 50-year-old art form is enshrined on the shores of Lake Erie. Instead the Rock Hall low-keyed the anniversary with an announcement that had little of the glitz of a rock concert, but was perhaps more momentous. news.cincypost.com /apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20051017/LIFE/510170357/1005   (1413 words)

The Post Rock Pages - Antarctica, Ova Looven, National Skyline, Album Leaf, Tristeza, etc. Post rock is music for the soul and mind, often very pretty and ambient, with roots stemming from The Cure, New Order, My Bloody Valentine, The Smiths, Depeche Mode, Cocteau Twins, Lush, Sunny Day Real Estate, Hum, and more.

New York Post Online Edition: news With an expected take of $45,000 from the rock 'n' roll fund-raiser, the goal is elevation of Clinton's financially strapped political action committee, HillPAC — which has just $55,000 in its piggybank, according to its most recent federal financial report. Clinton is offering her closest fat-cat friends a chance to boogie down with her and Bono during U2's "Vertigo 2005" tour stop at Washington's MCI Center next Wednesday.

The year in local rock Classic rock fans were thrown for a loop when WRRK gave way to BOB-FM, a schizo format where you might hear CCR one minute and Pink the next. One nice thing about so many of the big rock clubs closing over the past few years is that there weren't that many left to close in 2005. Black Tie Revue christened the plush CLO Cabaret at Theater Square for rock bands during a Friday night Gallery Crawl and opened the doors for Son Volt, Steve Forbert and (we hope) more to come. www.post-gazette.com /pg/05356/625964.stm   (1363 words)

Comments on 9189 MetaFilter post rock was a term coined because a couple of post rock bands include some old timers from rock bands in the 80s. While most bands hate to be pigeonholed, one of the styles of music which I've lately gotten into is called "post rock." I can't get enough of bands like Stereolab, Yo La Tengo, and the Aluminum Group. to me, a post rock band (or at least the ones i like) is any group that is not afraid to produce what they want. www.metafilter.com /mefi/9189   (4943 words)

The Post-Rock Band A new, bowdlerized radio-edit version of "Creep" was produced for American modern rock stations, excising the emotive use of an obscenity, and the single went into deep rotation. Radiohead went on stage on the early side by rock standards, around 8:30, following an opening band (in Copenhagen, it was an arty Icelandic group called Sigur Ros), and were done by 11. Forty years after the Beatles, Radiohead has reinvented the idea of the rock group -- with as much John Cage as John Lennon. partners.nytimes.com /library/magazine/home/20001001mag-radiohead.html   (2579 words)

KMC Forums - Post-rock They were not labeled as Post Rock at the time as theories of Post modernism arose after this period. Its post rock as it takes the ideas of rock music and deconstructs them and then reconstructs them, using certain musical ideas and devices.

Post-rock bands The rest of the post-rock fraternity (and you can count the number of women involved on one hand) have remained stuck in a profitless intermediary zone, a sort of mildly dub-inflected math-rock. Too much post-rock fails to supply what people get from trad rock (iconicity/iconoclasm, charisma/neurosis, big riffs, catharsis, meaning, something to look at on stage, tunes you can hum in the bath), without ever really rivaling what dance music offers either (kinaesthetic kicks, hedonic science, surrogate drug-sensations). "The rise of ambient-tinged rock (and ambient techno) is a response to, or retreat from, our increasingly strife-wracked, deteriorating social fabric. post-rock.lv /post.htm   (723 words)

The Lost Generation: Pitchfork Feature Most of the bands on the label kept at least one foot in more conventional forms of rock and pop, but the animating spirit behind it was all post-rock. No, these bands sound most incomparable when they're most in touch with their rock backgrounds; you can actually hear them thrilling and straining as they break through, and Reynolds, at the close of his article, seems to hint at just that. This group's background lay as much in industrial and experimental sound as it did in rock and pop, and their earliest releases had a dark, scrappy feel that's anything but serene. pitchforkmedia.com /features/weekly/05-07-11-lost-generation.shtml   (4785 words)

Mp3blog.ch » Post Rock They compose lengthy instrumental guitar-based pieces in the post-rock tradition, usually focused around the elaboration of a single theme, and are known traditionally for their quiet/loud dynamic, defined bass riffs, and an eminently chilled out sound, sometimes dark and sometimes grand. This sonic tension, a fluid mixture of textured pop, improvisational post-rock, torrential washes of noise and droning instrumentals (sometimes all within the span of a single song), gives Ee the quality to both embrace and challenge the indie rock status quo whence they came. The band describes itself as an encapsulation of rock, psychedelia, punk/hardcore, prog and Indie. www.mp3blog.ch /mp3blog?cat=1   (671 words)
