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 lead singer of Against Me! announced she is transgender and received an overwhelming amount of support from the punk community.
• Fat Mike of NOFX weighed in on Gabel's announcement and also revealed the release date for the new NOFX record.
• Hot Water Music released a stream of their upcoming record, Exister .
• Brendan Kelly recently performed a new Lawrence Arms song.
• Teenage Bottlerocket will be heading out on tour through the US and Canada.
• A video of The Offspring's full set at the KROQ Weenie Roast 2012 found its way online.
• No Doubt are active once again and will be releasing a new record this year.

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.

Punknews would like to wish all the awesome moms out there a Happy Mother's Day!
