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:
- We had a chat with Jason Cruz of Strung Out
- Iron Chic announced the dates for an upcoming tour in support of 2013's The Constant One.
- Against Me! streamed their new album, Transgender Dysphoria Blues, in its entirety.
- The New York Community Board blocked the naming of an intersection in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, made famous by the album cover of The Beastie Boys' Paul's Boutique, to Beastie Boys Square
- Tim Armstrong announced plans for his first solo art show in Los Angeles.
- Cheap Girls joined Xtra Mile Recordings for the release of their 4th full-length.
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 and we'll see you Monday morning.
