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:
- We released the list of your favorite records from 2012 with The Menzingers being the number one choice.
- To celebrate their 30th anniversary NOFX released an LP boxset that contains all of the band's full-lengths.
- Streetlight Manifesto's trombonist, Nadav Nirenberg, executed an elaborate scheme to retrieve his stolen phone.
- Motorhead joined the popular trend of celebrities releasing headphones.
- Bad Brains released their own brand of hot sauce to accompany whatever food you're eating while listening to their latest record.
- If you missed Rise Against on their previous tour because you figured you would just "catch them the next time" well, too bad, because the group announced they're taking a break from touring to focus on new music.
- Misfits announced plans to release a new live 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.
