Sunday Edition: July 15, 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:

• The Briggs' Jason Larocca released a statement in response to the German promoter who refused to work with The Briggs due to Joey Briggs' ties to scientology.
• Ex Cro-Mags bassist, Harley Flanagan, has gained help from supporters and given his side of the story about the stabbing at Webster Hall last week.
• Frank Turner proved he is not a fan of Nicki Minaj.
• Travis Barker of Blink 182 said he would reconsider flying to Australia with the possibility of sedation after he stated earlier this week that he would not be in Australia with the band due to his fear of flying after a terrible plane crash he experienced in 2008.
• They didn't get knocked down but they also won't be getting back up again for Chumbawumba have called it quits after 30 years.
• The Rolling Stones celebrated the 50th anniversary of their first gig.
• Be sure to wish folk legend, Woody Guthrie, a happy 100th birthday.

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.
