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:
- Bad Religion and Propagandhi both celebrated the 20th anniversary of their iconic releases Recipe for Hate and How to Clean Everything respectively.
- NOFX's Fat Mike and Rocket from the Crypt's Atom Willard joined forces with Against Me! for their new album.
- We unveiled the dates for the Red Scare Across America tour with Masked Intruder, Elway, and Sam Russo.
- We sat down with Rob Aston of The Transplants.
- Russ Rankin of Good Riddance and Only Crime began a writing for the Washington TImes.
- It was reported that Ian Watkins of Lostprophets will stand trial in November for charges against him concerning sexual child abuse.
- The Ataris were added to the Vans Warped Tour.
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
