Sunday Edition: December 15, 2013

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:

• Teenage Bottlerocket's Miguel Chen, Restorations' Jon Loudon, and Laura Stevenson shared their favorite releases of 2013 with us. Red City Radio's Paul Pendley, Dave Hause, and Asian Man Records' Mike Park also had some neat lists.
• The Beastie Boys refused to drop the case against the toy company that used their music.
• New Found Glory parted ways with guitarist Steve Klein.
• The Misfits got into the Christmas spirit with their cover of "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch".
• Red City Radio, Elway, and Direct Hit! announced the dates for their upcoming tour together.
• We had ourselves a chat with Nuno Pereira of A Wilhelm Scream.

  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 and we'll see you Monday morning.
