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 Lawrence Arms premiered a brand new song from their highly anticipated upcoming record, Metropole .
• Arcade Fire responded to aggravated fans concerning the formal dress code being "enforced" at the group's upcoming shows.
• Ronnie Radke of Falling In Reverse announced plans for a rap mixtape.
• Polar Bear Club vocalist Jimmy Stadt addressed his vocal change on their group's new record, Death Chorus.
• We sat down with Mackie Osborne for our Rad Women Who Make Rad Art series.
• Blacklist Royals released a lyric video for "Righteous Child".

  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.
