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:
- Adam "MCA" Yauch of the Beastie Boys passed away at the age of 47 after a long battle with cancer.
- The Gaslight Anthem released a new song entitled "45".
- The Paramedic released a statement regarding their controversial t-shirt design.
- NOFX announced that they have finished their new record.
- The Menzingers were robbed in Manchester after a recent show.
- We sat down and had a chat with Keith Morris of OFF!, Circle Jerks, and Black Flag.
- Terror's Scott Vogel expressed his disapproval of Refused's recent reunion.
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.
