Sunday Edition: December 16, 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:
- Special guests told us their favorite releases of 2012 and you can check them out here, here, and here.
- The former bassist of Attack Attack announced his departure from the band in a bizarre statement.
- Members of various Fat Wreck Chords bands were featured in a video discussing Fat compilations, digital music, and more.
- Paul McCartney teamed up with the remaining members of Nirvana to perform at the 12/12/12 benefit for hurricane Sandy relief.
- The Vans Warped Tour announced the first batch of bands who will be performing on this summer's trek.
- Blink-182 released a new song from their upcoming EP.
- The mystery surrounding Rocket From the Crypt's reunion was revealed in the form of a European tour.
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.
