It’s Sunday, November 11th, 2007. Welcome to Navel Gazing, your look back at this week in Punknews.
The people must have something good to read on a Sunday
Radiohead‘s donation-only digital download continues to make waves in the industry. An analyst decided that most have chosen to pay nothing for the record, but the band disputes the report’s data and findings. It looks like even if you pay nothing for most of your music, the law’s not going to come knocking, at least in Canada. Up here in Canuckistan the RCMP has stated that they’ll will tolerate piracy for personal use and concentrate on catching, you know, actual criminals. However while the Mounties are being tolerant, Prince is not. The musician is cracking down on online photos, lyric and artwork. So who else is in court, aside from Prince fans? How about Hawthorne Heights, no strangers to the US legal system themselves. They’ve been sued by their manager. My Chemical Romance might end up in court soon too, as the student government of the University of Maine may file suit over a cancelled performance.
This week saw Hot Water Music‘s announce the first three shows of their reunion. Iraqi heavy metal band Acrassicauda is in danger and Vice is sponsoring events to help raise money and get the band to safety. Red Scare Records has signed Ohio four piece the Sidekicks. The Blood Brothers have officially called it quits. We had news on some upcoming releases, including a live album from AFI, the upcoming Goddamnit reissue from the Alkaline Trio, and the Mars Volta‘s next record. A tour is in the works for 2008 featuring NOFX, No Use for a Name, the Flatliners and American Steel. Finally, the band Dance Gavin Dance kicked out their vocalist in spectacularly verbose fashion, entertaining even if you’ve never heard of the Sacramento band. Maybe their old singer has a future in Parkway Drive‘s mosh contest.
Our Video of the Week featured part one of our CMJ to the Fest 6 feature. It chronicles Punknews videographer Chris’ two week journey from his home base of Richmond, VA to New York City for the Mutiny PR/Punknews.org CMJ Showcase then down Gainesville for the Fest. This week’s video features Florida’s Fake Problems. The sixteenth edition of Vinyl File featured a final look at the vinyl history of NOFX.
