It’s Sunday, January 13th, 2008. Welcome to Navel Gazing, your look back at this week in Punknews. Last week we had big Jawbreaker news, this week the Clash. 2008’s batting 1000 so far.
It’s rare, but ladies and gentlemen this week has news on the Clash. Drummer Topper Headon and guitarist Mick Jones reunited on stage at a recent Carbon/Silicon gig and we have the footage to prove it. Less Than Jake broke the silence on their post-Warner plans, forming their own label dubbed Sleep It Off and announcing plans for a new record. Speaking of new records, we had plans from a number of high profile acts. Death Cab For Cutie is promising a louder, abrasive and more dissonant new album. Weezer has finished their sixth record and they’re feeling really good about it. Hatebreed is planning a covers record and a number of other projects like a coffee table book. Propagandhi also titillated their fanbase by announcing their tentative 2008 roadmap. There was some harrowing news for fans of the Shins this week, as keyboardist Marty Crandall was arrested for domestic assault, only to have the charges dropped soon after. Also on the lawsuit front, Billy Bean from No Trigger has filled suit against the Orlando PD based on an incident from the most recent Fest.
Anti-Flag has announced Australian shows with Rage Against The Machine and European tour dates. Smoke Or Fire and Fake Problems will soon hit the road together. Civet will tour soon, sharing the stage with bands like Guttermouth and the Unseen. Dillinger Four is playing a free show at the University of Wisconsin Union. There was a recent free show in Toronto featuring Strung Out and the Flatliners. Lagwagon was supposed to be there but couldn’t make it past the border. Against Me! has also announced plans for additional Harvest of Hope benefits The Loved Ones posted the new song “Sarah’s Game” while the Alkaline Trio posted a live version of “Nose Over Tail.”
The twenty fourth edition of Vinyl File featured a chat with a massive Against Me! collector and looked at some upcoming releases. Our Editors’ Picks of the week featured music from Rochester’s Sakes Alive!!! and horror punk outfit the Epidemic. We featured new music this week from Lemuria, streaming their full LP Get Better at the band’s Punknews.org Profile.
