Hello everyone and welcome to Navel Gazing: your look back in the week in Punknews. I'm Brittany Strummer 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:
- Fashion punx everywhere are pissed that an upscale London brand is using the Crass logo for their merchandise.
- In April, Las Vegas will be taken over by checkered clothes, pork pie hats, and skanking in the streets for Viva Ska Vegas.
- We reported an update on the Aceh punks in Indonesia as yet another dismal story of punks being arrested has come out of Malaysia as it was discovered that grindcore act, Wormrot, were detained by police after a show.
- Cleveland, OH's Mixtapes announced that they have joined the No Sleep Records roster.
- Punchline's bassist threatened to quit the band if nobody liked their new EP.
- Fat Mike made a new soundtrack for a fetish film and also revealed that NOFX are working on a new album.
- It was revealed that The Aquabats Super Show will be hitting super rad televisions sometime in March.
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.
