Here's your question and answer of the week from the Punknews Formspring:

Q: What is Schultz doing now that he's no longer Reviews Editor?

True story (as humorous as it sounds) Schultz has a job with Bridge 9 now. I have no idea what he does over their but I imagine it's Manager of Circle Pitting or Associate Chair of Keeping it Real or something. Guy deserves all the happiness in the world, I just hope one day he collects all that change he's been picking up.

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

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:

• Doghouse Records will be producing copies of releases from Hot Water Music and The Get Up Kids on cassette.

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.

Here's your question and answer of the week from the Punknews Formspring:

Q: Have you ever hated a band's name but liked the music they made?

Yes. It's always hard to get passed the awful named band that is actually really good. One of my recent experiences was with Imadethismistake, who were a great band with an awful name. I always try to remind myself that unless I get their t-shirt or a tattoo the name shouldn't matter.

Here's your question and answer of the week from the Punknews Formspring:

Q: Do the editors identify themselves as "punks," or do they simply have punkish attributes?

A: I can't say for all the editors. I think we all display varying degrees of what people might consider "punk". For example, I know Adam and myself (Rich) have not piercings or tattoos. Then you have editors like Justin and Brittany with gauges and Chris Moran with all his crazy tattoos and Aubin who's some sort of spy for a covert agency looking to over throw all government ever, even in the past (or so I believe).

Personally, I like the music. I don't know if I'd be identified as "punk" and stopped self-identifying as such years ago to avoid the constant confrontations/confusion. It was 50/50 "Oi, you're not punx, I live in teh dumpster and spend all day fucking the man!" vs. "You're Punk? But where's your mowhawk? Are you gonna beat me up?" I still try to live by many of the values I believed in when I was punk, but I don't do anything to really label myself as such.
