Cohen, Cale, k.d. and Constantine
Post Rock has been overrun by angry Constantine Maroulis fans this week. One of the commenters suggested we take a look at a recent YouTube clip of Maroulis covering Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah." We did. Then we looked at some other versions of the oft-covered classic. How does the former almost-"Idol"...

Ranking the Grammy Album of the Year Winners
The Grammys turn 50 on Sunday, so we figured it would be fun to take all of the Best Album winners and rank 'em, 1 to 50. Then we looked at the list and decided to limit it to the last 40 years. For that first decade, it was almost...

The Two-Minute Man, Episode 3: Collective Soul (?!) Edition
It wasn't the greatest week of entries for the Two-Minute Man. Why's that? Because out of the 10 songs I heard on 94.7/The Globe, two were by Collective Soul and another was by Live. Ouch. So you can have a pretty good idea of what the bottom of the list...

The Two-Minute Man, Episode 2
This week's installment of the Two-Minute Man isn't nearly as top heavy as last week's. No Beatles, no Stones, but we do have another completely random one-hit wonder from the '90s. And after a male-dominated debut last week, some women finally found their way onto 94.7's airwaves during my morning...

The Two-Minute Man
Welcome to Post Rock's first weekly feature. I'm not much for radio, but I tune in to 94.7 The Globe on my two-minute drives to and from Starbucks each morning. So I figured at the end of each week I'd rank the 10 songs I heard Weasel spin, offer up...

Meet the New Bosses: Indie Rock Finds Its Inner Bruce
Bruce Springsteen has been one of the world's biggest rock stars for more than three decades now, but he's never been seen as particularly hip. He was part of what the punks were rebelling against in the late '70s, was the ultimate stadium rock act in the '80s, and in...
