Artist description Post-Rock was originally a concept coined by Simon Reynolds in The Wire. The term referred to a group of bands and individuals who were --- "using rock instrumentation for non-rock purposes --- using guitars as facilitators of timbres and textures rather than riffs and powerchords". " -------------------------------------After all, we're talking about sugar fixes," she says. " We could survive without this stuff until we got home. But then we met him, our candy saint." A middle-aged man perusing a magazine a few feet away approached Mullin with a five-dollar bill. "He smiled and said to my son, 'Little man, never take candy from a stranger, but you should definitely let strangers buy candy for you and your mom.' He patted Sean on the head, handed me the money and was gone,"
