Hey, it's Alan, and I just wanted to let you know that you can now listen to the ongoing history of new music early and ad-free on Amazon music, included with Prime.

AI is incredible. They can teach you how to fry an egg and even write a poem, pirate style.

But it knows nothing about your work. Slackbot is different. It doesn't just know the facts.

It knows your schedule. It can turn a brainstorm into a brief and it doesn't need to be taught.

Because Slackbot isn't just another AI. It's AI that knows your work as well as you do.

One way to describe something that we've moved beyond is to affix the word post to it.

If, for example, we want to talk about the era following the fall of the Soviet Union, that would be post-Cold War.

If we're studying everything that came after the cultural,

political, and psychological vestiges of when countries like Britain and France conquered foreign

lands, that's post-colonialism. There's a certain section of the art world that's called

postmodern. This not only applies to painting and other visual arts and literature, but also disciplines

like architecture. Frank Gehry was a postmodernist architect. We also talk about post-industrial

societies, post-feminism, post-gender, and even post-internet. And then we get to music. There's a lot

of post-stuff out there. Post-punk is the most common music. There's a lot of post stuff out there. Post punk is the most common

term. That's easy to figure out. It's all the music that the punk explosion encouraged to happen

after 1977 or 78 or so. Post hardcore is hardcore punk, but with more emphasis on melody and experimentation with

song structure. Post-disco, obviously dance music born out of the disco boom of the late 70s.

And then we have post-rock. Oh dear. This is a tough one. This term implies that there is

already something that comes after rock.

But rock is still very much with us.

So what's so post about it?
