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:
- The Phoenix compiled a list of the 100 best emo songs according to their staff.
- Metallica announced the lineup for their festival, Orion Music and More, which features acts such as The Gaslight Anthem, Fucked Up, Lucero, Best Coast, and many more.
- Live footage of The Gaslight Anthem performing The Who's "Baba O'Reilly" has surfaced.
- Joey Cape of Lagwagon discussed upcoming tour plans with an adorable interviewer who will hopefully conduct interviews for Punknews one day.
- Bomb the Music Industry! announced the dates for their upcoming tour.
- We talked with Damian Abraham of Fucked Up.
- We posted an exclusive stream of The Sidekicks' new record, Awkward Breeds.
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.
