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:
- Bad Religion was tapped to play the national secular event, The Reason Rally
- Weezer is giving fans the choice of Blue or Pinkerton at their upcoming Riot Fest set
- The Offspring are aiming for a 2012 release of their new album
- Sick of it All detailed their upcoming re-recorded retrospective, 'Nonstop'
- Paper and Plastick detailed Are You With The Band?, a compilation of female-fronted bands to benefit Planned Parenthood
- The Spits detailed their new full-length
- Living with Lions launched a Kickstarter to recoup FACTOR money
- Fat Wreck Chords announced plans for a Fest-only 10-inch, Fat Music for Fest People
- Speaking of The Fest 10, we launched our first written Fest feature by highlighting ten under the radar bands to catch
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.
