Hello everyone and welcome to Navel Gazing: your look back in the week in Punknews. I'm Bryne Yancey 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:
- John Joseph of Cro-Mags had an interesting take on the recent Japan earthquake/tsunami
- Baltimore, MD's Trapped Under Ice was involved in an altercation in Germany
- To the surprise of no one, Weasel Fest was canceled
- In better Chicago-related news, Descendents were confirmed for Riot Fest
- Mixtapes unveiled a new song, "Hope Is For People"
- We had some fun on April Fool's Day with The Dopamines. You can check out the hijinks here, here, here, here and here. After that, check out our reviews of the band's LP Expect The Worst here.
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.
