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:
- After months of rumours Off With Their Heads signed to Epitaph
- St. Catharines, Ontario's Sexual Assault drew fire from women's groups over their name and flyers
- A Medical examiner cited cocaine toxicity and alcohol in Jay Reatard's death
- Jesse from Lagwagon talked about his departure from the band
- The surviving members of Sublime settled their lawsuit over use of the band's name
- Mark Hoppus talked about the next Blink-182 album while drummer Travis Barker appeared with Drake, Eminem and Lil' Wayne
- Pete Wentz and Andy Hurley spoke about the Fall Out Boy hiatus break
- 3rd wave ska act Spring Heeled Jack USA announced plans to reunite for a show and vinyl reissues
- Crime in Stereo previewed the new song "Not Dead"
Also a reminder that the third round of our charity auction raising money for Doctors Without Borders' efforts in Haiti wraps up tonight. Thanks to Paper + Plastik and Limited Pressing for being such awesome partners in this effort. At the time that I'm writing this we're closing in on eleven thousand five hundred.
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…
