Hello everybody and welcome to Navel Gazing: your look back at the week in Punknews.

The People Must Have Something Good To Read On A Sunday
This week's most popular stories
Blink-182 is
currently rehearsing for their upcoming reunion. Mark Hoppus recently revealed that songs such as "M&Ms," "Apple Shampoo," "Man Overboard," "Anthem, Pt.2," "Dammit" and "Down" are among those being practiced.
According to a recent Guardian report, the fourth "
scariest word" for parents in the UK is "emo." The paranoia stems from recent media coverage of suicides in the country.
Screeching Weasel is apparently
playing shows again.
Ben Weasel revealed as much in a recent Asian Man newsletter. Details on the line up and extent of the reunion are a little fuzzy right now.
While they're not a band that falls into our usual umbrella, it was notable this week that the
Counting Crows go label free. They join other former major label acts who recently cut ties with the media conglomerates.
Green Day's recently announced vinyl reissues will soon encompass the
band's entire catalogue. 39/Smooth and Kerplunk are due out next week, with Dookie to follow in April along with a singles boxed set.

Kill Rock Stars release this Spring.

Fall Out Boy for five dates of their

Discipline,

added to the
