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:
- LA Weekly shared their Top 20 hardcore albums.
- Ian Mackaye got fed up with smartphones at shows.
- Inge Johannson, formerly of The (International) Noise Conspiracy, joined Against Me! in replacement of former bassist, Andrew Seward, whom recently released a video with his new band.
- Unfortunate news for small venues in Canada due to a new new immigration regulation.
- Video surfaced of Modern Life is War's full set from This Is Hardcore.
- We sat down with the one and only Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein.
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.
