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:
- Ian Watkins of the now defunct Lostprophets pleaded guilty to some disturbing child sex charges.
- Ron Reyes parted ways with Black Flag.
- A company sued the Beastie Boys after using the group's song in a commercial.
- A-F Records celebrated the 1 year anniversary of their return by releasing their catalog for free for a limited time.
- This past week marked the 30th anniversary of Bad Religion's Into the Unknown .
- Joyce Manor revealed they 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.
