Sunday Edition: April 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:

• Dropkick Murphys lead singer, Al Barr, apologized for an offensive statement he uttered in a video promo for the Punk & Disorderly Festival in Berlin.
• Screeching Weasel frontman, Ben Weasel, engaged in a bizarre argument with Fat Mike of NOFX after claiming that the Fat Wreck Chords head honcho "has a beef with me that I don't understand".
• If you were ever feeling nostalgic about your favorite pop rock radio jams from the 90s now is the time to relive those glory days because Everclear, Sugar Ray, Lit, Gin Blossoms, and Marcy Playground are heading to a city near you.
• Damian Abraham of Fucked Up is being attacked by an army of "Katy Cats" after criticizing pop singer, Katy Perry, for "glamorizing war" in her latest music video.
• A brand new song from Hot Water Music from their upcoming album surfaced on the internet.
• You can wipe your tears away if you were one of the many who did not acquire a ticket for a Refused reunion show because the band announced a handful of new dates with Keith Morris' (Black Flag / The Circle Jerks) influential new act, OFF!.
• Derek Perry of Fake Problems released a non-related Fake Problems song about "DIY Punx".

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.
