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:
- Fat Mike of NOFX announced he is done with Punk Voter.
- As part of our ongoing Fest coverage we hosted a live Q&A with Mr. Paul Pendley of Red City Radio.
- In a sad development in the Pussy Riot case, the 2 imprisoned members were sent to separate remote prison camps.
- Blink-182 were full of news this week as they announced they left their record label, Future Idiots "reimagined" Blink's latest release Neighborhoods, and Travis Barker collaborated with Yelawolf.
- How many of you saw Anti-Flag's special 20th anniversary set at Fest where they strictly played material from their first 4 albums?
- Someone broke into the home of the daughter of Nirvana's Kurt Cobain and it wasn't this guy.
- Make room in your Lagwagon box set because lead singer, Joey Cape, revealed that the group are working on a new album.
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.
