  • What Exactly is Post-Rock?: Part 1

    What Exactly is Post-Rock?: Part 1
    Jan 21 2026
    What exactly is "Post‑Rock"? In this first installment of a two‑part deep dive, we unpack one of the most misunderstood labels in modern music. From its origins in the 1960s to its evolving relationship with rock, ambient, jazz, and experimental traditions...Post-Rock has come to mean different things to different listeners. In part 1, we focus on where the term came from and what it was originally trying to describe. We explore ideas like: The cultural and musical context that gave rise to post‑rock Why the genre resists simple definitions Early artists and scenes that shaped its sound and philosophy How “using rock instruments for non‑rock purposes” became both a manifesto and a limitation Rather than treating post‑rock as a fixed style, we look at it as an idea...one that reflects broader shifts in how music moved away from verse‑chorus structures and toward texture, atmosphere, and long‑form composition.

  • 2025 In Memoriam

    2025 In Memoriam
    Jan 14 2026
    I'll be honest and say that this is not a happy show…in fact, it’s probably the saddest episode of the year…then again, it’s an opportunity to pay tribute to the musicians we lost in 2025. They’re gone, but that’s the thing about being a musician…the songs they left behind will remain with us for many, many years. I’m going to go through a list of deaths…this list isn’t comprehensive because we just don’t have the time to cover all the “RIP's” that happened...and because there are so many, I’ll probably miss a few, and for that, I apologize in advance. This is 2025 in memoriam, a tribute to rock stars who passed. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I am such a big fan of this podcast. Alan Cross knows every thing about music and the music world. One thing that could be better is less well disturbing things

Great!
