SPIN's Week in Review, May 26-30

What we learned this week: Weezer plus scooters equals danger. Sports fans already knew "Y.M.C.A." was gay. More punk bands from Jersey should emulate the Boss. And much more.

Granted, it was a short week, and one that reminded us of summer's impending arrival -- mmm, barbecue -- but we did learn many things this week, with lessons coming from Weezer's Brian Bell, the commenters over at Deadspin, New Jersey punk rockers the Gaslight Anthem, pop duo She & Him, and... another pop duo, the Submarines. Here's a rundown.
