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:

• My Chemical Romance drummer Michael Pedicone was fired from the band under accusations of theft
• The US Fish and Wildlife Service raided Gibson Guitars due to concerns that the guitar manufacturer is using rare, endangered and protected wood to make their fretboards
• The Pacific Ridge Records-curated tribute to Alkaline Trio made its way online
• The Lawrence Arms bassist Brendan Kelly blogged a few details regarding his new solo album
• The fire that destroyed the London Sony/PIAS warehouse may have been cover for a professional heist
• Samiam streamed their first new album in five years, Trips
• Gallows debuted their first new material since the arrival of vocalist Wade MacNeil, "True Colours"
• Morrissey opened his mouth to announce dates for a tour of the United States and Mexico

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.
