Post-Rock?
The last nine bands that have shown up on my Last.fm profile have been characterized as “Post-Rock” a term I hadn’t heard before and haven’t the slightest understanding of its meaning. This Wikipedia entry left me holding my own tail.
Anybody heard this term before? Help a brutha out?

The first time I remember hearing the term was in reference to Tortoise, sometime after the release of their 1996 album, Millions Now Living Will Never Die. I’ve generally taken the term to mean “music which has a lot of trouble getting to the point.”
