43 here, still feeling "old" although my brain seems to be stuck in high school.

That said, I believe you gotta keep your crazy to stay fresh. Anything else is boring.

I’m 63 and have a kid trapped inside of me, always keep the spirit!

dafuq is "post rock"?

I have been trying to "just" use a pedalboard like that, for ages. And then I miss my Wah. And then I miss my wireless. And then my singer wants to play a cowboy chord song a half step down, and I miss my HX Poly Capo . . .

as a "post-rock" enthusiast its heart warming to see it mentioned like this. As i recall a new york journalist back in the days... bla bla bla...

here you go, AI version



The term post-rock was coined by English music journalist Simon Reynolds in a 1994 Mojo magazine review of Bark Psychosis’ album Hex

. It describes music that uses traditional rock instrumentation—guitars, bass, drums—to create non-rock, atmospheric, or electronic-textured sounds, focusing on timbre rather than traditional riffs

.
Origins and Key Details:

• Definition: Initially defined by Reynolds in The Wire (1994) as using rock instruments to create non-rock purposes, such as texture, timbre, and atmosphere
  
  .
• Earliest Use: While Reynolds popularized it in 1994, he later acknowledged the term had floated around since the 1970s and 80s to describe avant-rock, including a 1975 article by James Wolcott .
• Influential Artists: Bands often associated with the origin of the sound include Bark Psychosis, Talk Talk (Laughing Stock), Slint, and Tortoise
  
  .
• Characteristics: It represents a shift away from verse-chorus-verse structures, often resulting in instrumental, longer compositions that blend elements of ambient, jazz, and experimental music
  
  .

Though intended to describe a specific style, the term became a broad umbrella label for bands exploring the intersection of rock and electronic/symphonic soundscapes

Probably old news, but the Wessex is one of my favorite drive pedals. Highly recommend!
