Hello everybody and welcome to 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…

A Los Angeles judge has blocked the use of the Sublime name by bandmembers Eric Wilson and Bud Gaugh. The estate of original vocalist Bradley Nowell filed a trademark infringement suit on October 21, in advance of the band’s performance at the Cypress Hill Smokeout Festival. Radiohead‘s Ed O’Brien raised some eyebrows with his suggestion that bandwidth throttling could be used to combat illegal downloading. The line up of the 2010 Harvest of Hope festival is coming into view, with Off With Their Heads, Small Brown Bike, Anti-Flag, and Dead to Me slated to perform. Dashboard Confessional and New Found Glory cancelled their planned tour this past week. We also had footage of the greatest Misfits cover band ever, featuring Ted Leo, Atom Goren of Atom and his PAckage and Andy Nelson of Paint It Black.

Asian Man detailed the upcoming Matt Skiba solo record , titled Demos and due in February. Controversial hardline group Vegan Reich are writing and rehearsing a new record. The same goes for Propagandhi, who are working on the follow up to Supporting Caste. Detournement, which features members of Bigwig, Ensign, Lifetime, Plan A Project and Worthless United, are planning a new 7-inch. Defunct ska-punk act Five Iron Frenzy revealed plans for a DVD. Dead To Me streamed their new record African Elephants. A radio station chatted with Descendents frontman Milo Aukerman about his current and future plans.

This week we said goodbye to founding Smugglers drummer Paul Preminger.

The Punknews crew at the Fest may have done more festing than live-reporting, but they did come back home with some cool video footage. Check out Broadway Calls performing “Midnight Hour” and “Van Rides and High Tides,” Shook Ones performing a cover of Weezer‘s “Tired of Sex”, How Dare You playing “Eat at Charlie’s”, and the Sidekicks performing “Looking.”

Chuck Ragan, Strike Anywhere and Lucero topped your list of Your Favorite Records from October. This week we spoke with vocalist Ki Seok So of The Geeks (interview), ” bassist Frédéric Leclercq of DragonForce (interview), Ned Russin, Shane Moran and Ben Russin of Title Fight (interview), Jeff Rosenstock of Bomb The Music Industry! (interview), and guitarist Dominic Maggiolo of I Refuse (interview).

As always we brought you new streaming music from some great up and coming bands, including the new full length from Cloak/Dagger, and new material from Durham, NC-based Red Collar.

So what’s coming up this week? Look for new releases from Dashboard Confessional, Dead To Me, Franz Nicolay, Gatorface, Teenage Rehab, The Flatliners, Throwdown, and many others. We’ll also see a number of tours kick off this week. Look for upcoming shows from AFI with Gallows (US / Canada), Motorhead, The Damned and Girlschool (UK), Quest For Fire (Canada / US), Rx Bandits supporting Glassjaw (US), Bowling For Soup with MC Lars (US), Less Than Jake with the Swellers, the Casualties, Fishbone and others (US), and Madball (South America, UK).
