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:
- Our conversation with RVIVR's Matt Canino proved to be quite provocative
- The AFI break-up story was a hoax, reminding us all in the music news world that there's no such thing as a reliable source anymore
- Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong, 39, was booted from a Southwest flight due to low, sagging pants
- The Horrible Crowes gave away "Go Tell Everybody"
- Mitch Clem's Nothing Nice To Say webcomic made its triumphant return
- Blink 182 made fans win a game to get their new song, "After Midnight"
- The Fest 10 schedule was released, leaving many frustrated at the fact that [insert band] is playing at the same time as [insert band]
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 tracks in the Navel Gazing turntable.fm room and we'll see you Monday morning.
