Hello everybody and welcome to Navel Gazing: your look back at the week in Punknews. I'm Adam White and I'll be your guide through some of the most popular, notable, and otherwise attention getting stories of the past seven days. Each and every Punknews story is built from tips contributed by you fine folks, and here's what got the community talking this week:
- Sex Pistols manager and controversial impresario Malcom McLaren died this week.
- Stephen Egerton enlisted members of Alkaline Trio, Descendents, and Shades Apart for a new solo album
- Sundowner (Chris McCaughan of The Lawrence Arms) has announced his sophomore album
- The Menzingers are streaming their new album Chamberlain Waits
- Against Me! announced the I Was A Teenage Anarchist digital EP
- Epitaph is gearing up to reissue Refused's landmark Shape of Punk to Come as a three CD set
- Green Day, Social Distortion, Gogol Bordello and Devo are among the bands playing Lollapalooza 2010
- The US Army is using songs from Metallica, The Offspring, and Thin Lizzy against the Taliban
- Brett Gurewitz and Greg Graffin of Bad Religion weighed in on Into the Unknown
With that we hand over this Sunday evening to you, the Punknews community. From that glorious, likely bearded rabble we've see the creation of everything from message boards and Punknews fantasy sports leagues to even a band or two. So talk amongst yourselves and we'll see you Monday…
