Sunday Edition: December 26, 2010

Hello everyone and welcome to Navel Gazing: your look back in the week in Punknews. I'm Bryne Yancey and I'll be your guide through some of the juiciest, most popular and otherwise noteworthy stories from the last seven days. Remember, every Punknews story is built from tips from our wonderful, good-looking readers, so get to submitting. Here's what got the strange, slow and old community talking this week:

• Wildly popular rock outfit Paramore lost the Farro brothers from their ranks, with the brothers explaining their exit from the band in great, revelatory detail.
• Rise Against talked to SPIN about their upcoming album, Endgame. Did Dave Mustaine give his blessing?
• Yet another inexplicably popular band endured a lineup change this week as Avenged Sevenfold and drummer Mike Portnoy parted ways.
• Finch announced their breakup after eleven years together. Somewhere in a cold, dark room, Alex Pappas quietly weeps.
• Quite obviously taking a cue from us, Propagandhi launched their own podcast.
• Finally, we revealed the best-of-2010 lists from our trusty review staff, and continued sharing lists from folks throughout the industry. Be sure to check back on Tuesday for lists from our editorial staff, and on Friday for the all-important site-wide list.

  With that, we hand over this Sunday evening to the Punknews community, where anything is possible, from the next amusing-then-overwrought meme, to the creation of bands and message boards, to alienating sports chatter. So talk amongst yourselves and we'll see you Monday morning.
