Sunday Edition: October 9, 2011

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:

On a personal note, I'd like to make a brief announcement that this will be my last day (and last Sunday Edition), as I'm leaving Punknews.org to join Alternative Press as their new web editor. It's been a lot of fun bringing you news and other content here on the 'Org for the past two and a half years, and I hope that you'll continue to follow my work as I move to a new site. I'll never forget my roots (in fact, it'd be pretty impossible for me to do so), and I can't thank Aubin and Adam enough for the opportunity.

Brittany Strummer will head the new Sunday Edition, and I know she and Kira will do a great job on the news end of the site. We'll also be bringing in some other awesome folks in the coming weeks, so rest assured Punknews will be in good hands. I'll still be around a bit in the next couple of weeks, and I'll hang out in the comments section for a couple of hours this evening if anyone has any questions. Thanks for reading.

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.
