Sunday Edition: October 14th, 2007

Adam is away this week so the entire planet fell to pieces. With the remaining shards, we've assembled this latest look back at the week in Punknews.org.

The people must have something good to read on a Sunday

It was hard to miss the news that 10th level Vice President Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize, nor was it possible to avoid the jubilant fans of The Mighty Mighty Bosstones who agreed to reunite for five shows. Lots of piss and vinegar was sent in the direction of Green Day courtesy of Johnny Rotten but returning the favour was Blender who took on the Sex Pistols, Tom Waits, Sting and the Beach Boys. Some people had nicer sentiments in mind, like Billie Joe of Green Day who sent fond wishes to Al Gore on his win while encourageing people to contact Congress.

Though not exactly known as a charity, Taco Bell gave Strike Anywhere, Ted Leo, Big D, Panthers, Armor for Sleep free food but Ted didn't want it. There was still some craziness in the ever increasing music industry shakeup, this time with Nine Inch Nails who celebrated their first time being without a contract in 18 years.
