Sunday Edition: December 12, 2010

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:

• The first five bands for next summer's Vans Warped Tour have been announced. Get your tickets now!
• Against Me! have detailed their first post-major label release, a two song, acoustic 7-inch for Sabot Productions. Get your spacers ready.
• Speaking of popular bands and 7-inch vinyl, Hot Water Music and The Bouncing Souls have covered each other's songs for a new release. Flippers, fear the potential ire of Jack White.
• Polarizing Say Anything frontman Max Bemis announced a run of solo dates for February. Try not to get offended.
• Iconic DC hardcore outfit Government Issue played a one-off reunion this past weekend to help raise funds for local DJ Stereo Faith's medical bills. Is it wrong to hope for something bad to happen so Fugazi can reunite?
• Rise Records continued their foray into punk rock acts, signing UK-based outfit SHARKS.

  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 and we'll see you Monday morning.
