Sunday Edition: January 24th, 2010
Hello everybody and welcome to your all-new all-different 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 community talking this week:
- Gretsch introduced a hollowbody guitar branded with Rancid's Tim Armstrong.
- The Killers have announced an "indefinite hiatus"
- Teenage Bottlerocket released their video for "Bigger Than Kiss"
- Neil Hennessy of the Lawrence Arms, The Falcon, and Smoking Popes talked about his new project
- My Chemical Romance completed their new album and are aiming for a club tour
- Mick Jones and Paul Simonon of the Clash reunited on a new Gorillaz track
- Speaking of The Lawrence Arms, the band is headed to the UK and Ireland
Also a reminder that our charity auction raising money for Doctors Without Borders' efforts in Haiti is still going strong. We're looking to add some really unique items in the coming days so keep checking back. At this point we're closing in on the $4,000 dollar mark. Thanks to Paper + Plastik and Limited Pressing for being such awesome partners in this. Also a big thanks has to go out to Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz, who seems hellbent on winning the auctions for his own band's swag.
With that we hand over this Sunday evening to you, the Punknews community. From that glorious, likely bearded rabble we've see the creation of everything from message boards and Punknews fantasy sports leagues to even a band or two. So talk amongst yourselves and we'll see you Monday...
