Sunday Edition: August 7, 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:

• Green Day got out the vote to win Rolling Stone's poll for "Best Punk Band", a result completely without controversy
• St. Catharines, Ontario-based Alexisonfire called it a day after ten years together
• The Weakerthans' John K. Samson continues to hate Winnipeg, especially the Jets' new logo and despite the fact that the NHL franchise was always lousy anyway
• It was a big week in Blink 182's camp, as the reunited group debuted a fan-made, AT&T-assisted-for-some-reason video for "Up All Night" as well as a new song, "Heart's All Gone"
• Chuck Dukowski of Black Flag unveiled his latest project, Black Face
• The Clash's "London Calling" is ironically being used in promotional ads for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, as we breathe a collective sigh and wonder what Joe would think

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.
