Sunday Edition: November 27, 2011

Hello everyone and welcome to Navel Gazing: your look back in the week in Punknews. I'm Brittany Strummer
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:

• Five Iron Frenzy jumped on the Kickstarter bandwagon and raised more money than they anticipated.
• The former vocalist for Love Equals Death was found in possession of meth but claims the cops set him up.
• NOFX's Eric Melvin and Fat Mike paid a visit to Occupy San Francisco to perform a new protest song.
• Thursday have decided to call it a day after a 14 year run.
• Big D and the Kids Table's David McWane was diagnosed with thyroid cancer forcing the band to cancel their current tour.
• Turns out that Spotify isn't the only streaming service that record labels are mad at.
• Thrice are not breaking up and they're not taking a hiatus; they're just not going to be a full-time band for a while.

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, spin some tracks in the Navel Gazing turntable.fm room and we'll see you Monday morning.
