Hello everybody and welcome to Navel Gazing: your look back at the week in Punknews. I'm Adam White and I'll be your guide through some of the most popular, notable, and otherwise attention getting stories of the past seven days. Each and every Punknews story is built from tips contributed by you fine folks, and here's what got the strange, slow, old people in the community talking...
The People Must Have Something Good To Read On A Sunday
This week's most popular stories
This week saw the debut of
The Thorns of Life, a new three piece featuring Blake Schwarzenbach of
Jawbreaker /
Jets To Brazil on guitar / vocals, Aaron "Cometbus" Elliott of
Crimpshrine /
Pinhead Gunpowder on drums and Daniela Sea on bass. We had an exciting few days of
rumors,
eyewitness reports and
discussion on the subject. Speaking of returns, a most unlikely band is rumored to be resurfacing. Some new incarnation of ska-punk stars
Sublime have been
suggested as a surprise Bamboozle 2009 performer.
Edgar Bronfman Jr, CEO of the Warner Music Group, reveal to a Web 2.0 conference that the major label was requiring all new acts to sign
360 deals which allow the label to get a cut of all of a band's activities. Artists have continued to react to the ongoing gay marriage controversy in the United States. Notably this week we read a thoughtful
blog posting from Canada's
Tegan and Sara and saw
Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz also discuss the subject on
Larry King Live.
AFI's looking to return in 2009 with a
new full length produced by David Bottrill. Punknews buddies
Say Anything are set to
release a new full length next year.
Propagandhi teased that they were
almost done their new record... then they
finished it. Funny that. This week saw a new
free sampler from Anti- Records featuring
Billy Bragg and
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds among others. The
Gaslight Anthem posted their video for
"Old White Lincoln" as well.
The Get Up Kids got back together today for a
reunion show in their hometown of Kansas City. They're celebrating the upcoming 10 year anniversary of
Something To Write Home About.
Jimmy Eat World are going to do the same with the 10th anniversary of
Clarity, planning to play the record
on tour early next year. Finally we had word on two new punk products for your purchasing pleasure, one being the
Burning Fight book covering the 80s and 90s hardcore scene, and the other is (sit down for this)
punk Bratz dolls. That's way more exciting than the Schwarzenbach news isn't it?
This week we said goodbye to
Bent Outta Shape's
Jamie Ewing (1983-2008) and
drummer
Mitch Mitchell of the Jimi Hendrix Experience (1947-2008).
I Can't Control My Fingers I Can't Control My Brain
New feature content, weekly columns and exclusives
This week we spoke with
Wayne Coyne of the
Flaming Lips on their new feature film Christmas on Mars (
interview).
Our
Video of the Week featured the
Sainte Catherines performing a new song on Montreal television show Mange ta Ville.
As always we brought you new
Streaming Music including
Stourbridge, UK's
Science vs Romance,
and
Grand Rapids, MI-based
La Dispute.
So what's coming up
this week? Look for new releases from
Dustin Kensrue of
Thrice,
Bring Me the Horizon
and the
Foo Fighters (live DVD)
with tours kicking off from
Smoke Or Fire /
Fake Problems (
Australia / Europe),
Billy Bragg (
US / UK),
Comeback Kid (
South America),
and
Useless ID (
Russia).
