Sunday Edition: December 18, 2011

Hello everyone and welcome to Navel Gazing: your look back in the week in Punknews. I'm Brittany Strummer
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:

• Elway's Tim Browne, Fake Problems' Chris Farren, and Teenage Bottlerocket's Ray Carlisle shared their favorite records from 2011 with us.
• The first 2 Tony Hawk Pro Skater video games will be reissued but sadly without the original soundtracks due to licensing purposes.
• Green Day released their cover of the Misfits' "Hybrid Moments".
• According to recent studies: The louder your music, the drunker you get.
• Canadian punks, Propagandhi, announced they will be recording new album in 2012.
• Sad news coming from Indonesia, where punks have been arrested, had their heads shaved, and thrown into a pool simply for being a part of the punk rock community.
• A Day To Remember are giving Victory Records a... welll.... day to remember as they are suing the label which is nothing new for Victory.

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.
