Sunday Edition: January 1, 2012
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:
- We showed you Punknews.org's Best of 2011.
- We posted our favorite records from 2011 as well as your favorite records from 2011.
- Google is being attacked by record companies for giving easy access to illegal downloading.
- Boy Sets Fire's Nathan Gray started a new band with his son
- The Menzingers released the details for their upcoming album.
- Scientists revealed the secret behind creating a hit.
- We released an exclusive stream of the new EP from Brendan Kelly and the Wandering Birds.
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.
Happy new year from all of us at Punknews!
