Less This Will Destroy You and more 65daysofstatic with a side-line in instrumental Fall of Troy-style shenanigans, Belfast's ASIWYFA have proven to be one of the more interesting instrumental outfits doing the rounds. It could be due to an unfortunate case of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Dis-something, yet these boys paint the town red, blue, green, yellow and even add a touch of purple in the short sixteen minutes in which they have your attention.
No real surprises to report. Beyoncé earned a bundle of Grammys. Lady Gaga delivered a rousing - and surprisingly uncontroversial - duet with Elton John . Taylor Swift also cleaned up, though her number with Stevie Nicks sounded a tad off (as did Slash's guitar solo during T-Pain's performance). Best prop goes to Best Comedy Album winner Steven Colbert , who pulled an iPad out of his jacket during his monologue. And kudos to Kings of Leon for admitting they were a tad drunk while accepting the Grammy [...]

by Kathy Flann Kathy Flann is a professor at Goucher and host of Atomic Book's Atomic Fiction Series. 1. "The Order of Things" by Judy Troy, published in Epoch, reprinted in The O. Henry Prize Stories. This story, which explores both religion and extra-marital affairs in a way that feels new, offers redemption before the fall. Add in language as clear as glass and complex, yet knowable characters. 2. "Hurricanes Anonymous" by Adam Johnson, published in Tin House, reprinted in Best [...]
The Fall Of Troy has been somewhat of a polarizing band. Their debut full length on Equal Vision Records, Doppelgänger was well received and showcased the band's ability to blend angular guitar riffs with the straight forward intensity of fellow Seattle residents, The Blood Brothers . Their follow up full length and subsequent EP seemed to divide the band's fan base, as they began to explore their pop roots. Their new full length, In The Unlikely Event merges their earlier material with an even more accessible twist. Punknews contributor [...]

You may remember that a while ago I blogged about Mustard Pimp compiling an astonishing 12 hour mix - well the sneaky French duo have now topped that with an epic 24 hour compilation mix made up of nearly every genre going! It's all in the honour of the new series of 24 which is about to start on Sky. I really didn't follow the last series, I tried but it's hard work. Seriously, how many times does Jack need to save the world? Jean Claude Van Damme wouldn't have had these issues, he'd simply kick [...]

Our crazy friends from France have done it again. This time they outdone anything we could ever think of. Mustard Pimp goes in the footstep of the popular tv-show 24 and produces a 24 h mixtape. It is crazy, but in a good way. The best thing is that you can enjoy them in the same way that you enjoy 24, hour for hour. Download the 24 episodes here (mediafire folder) Look at the 800+ tracklist after the jump. Hour 1 1)Mustard [...]
The Fall of Troy throws together a smorgasbord of heavy styles in hopes it will gel somehow as a coherent album. It doesn't come close, but to the band's credit, the songs still work individually more often than not. Four albums into its career, the Fall of Troy still experiments with its sound. In the Unlikely Event throws together a smorgasbord of heavy styles in the hopes it will gel somehow as a coherent album. It doesn't even come close, leaving each song to stand or collapse on its own. To the band's credit, the songs work more often [...]

Fall of Troy Doppelganger (Equal Vision, 2005) Brimming with teenage angst and engorged will self indulgence, Fall of Troy's sophomore album proves the band is talented enough to pull off both on this proggy post-hardcore juggernaut. This record is probably the biggest on the guilty pleasure of any on this list, but Fall of Troy are so incredible on Doppelganger that the pleasure far outweighs (and outranks as it were) any embarrassment. -Thistle
