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 Vans Warped Tour announced the first five acts who will be on the 2014 trek including Teenage Bottlerocket and Mixtapes.
- Against Me! announced a US tour and performed two songs from their upcoming album, Transgender Dysphoria Blues.
- Sleater-Kinney reunited onstage with Pearl Jam.
- Rancid drummer Branden Steineckert revealed some details about the band's forthcoming record.
- We tallied your favorite records from November with Iron Chic leading the pack.
- The Punknews staff and friends tasted an assortment of punk branded foods.
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.
