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:
- After eighteen years and an outpouring of support, the West Memphis Three were released from prison
- Dead To Me detailed their third full-length, Moscow Penny Ante
- Against Me! covered The Clash's "Janie Jones" for The AV Club
- The Pukkelpop festival in Belgium was the site of another unfortunate stage collapse that killed five and injured 75
- The Mighty Mighty Bosstones are working on a new album
- Misfits announced their first new album in ten years, The Devil's Rain
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 Clash / Mescaleros tracks in the Navel Gazing turntable.fm room in honor of Papa Joe's birthday and we'll see you Monday morning.
