Sunday Edition: August 19, 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 lead singer of Megadeth accused the president of staging recent mass killings.
• Rise Records announced they will be re-releasing
  Hot Water Music's
  Forever and Counting
  
• Green Day released another new single from their upcoming record,
  ¡Uno!
  , entitled "Kill the DJ".
• Protesters who were protesting in support of Pussy Riot were arrested in New York.
• Dustin Kensrue of Thrice premiered his new christian rock project.
• We sat down and had a chat with Play Date.
• Silversun Pickups weren't too happy with MItt Romney using their song for his campaign.

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.
