Sunday Edition: December 22, 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:
- Against Me! released a new song and lead singer Laura Jane Grace spoke to NME about the journey to Transgender Dysphoria Blues.
- Cobra Skulls decided to hang up the hat.
- Fake Problems' Chris Farren and Red Scare's Toby Jeg shared their best of 2013 lists. So, did Mikey Erg and The Gaslight Anthem's Benny Horowitz. Check theirs out here.
- Former Lostprophets lead singer, Ian Watkins, was sentenced to 35 years for child sex offenses; 29 years in prison and 6 years under license.
- Bad Religion performed "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" live on Conan.
-
Cayetana released the new song "Hot Dad Calendar".
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.
