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:
- Black Flag announced professional skateboarder / Good For You front man, Mike Vallelly, as their new lead singer.
- Against Me! performed "FUCKMYLIFE666" on The Late Show with David Letterman.
- We sat down and a had a chat with Brendan Kelly of The Lawrence Arms.
- Skinny Puppy billed the government for using their music as torture.
- Attendees of Bomb the Music Industry!'s last show wrote in to to share memories and stories about the band.
- Fat Mike revealed details for the new "Divas!" themed Me First and the Gimme Gimmes record.
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.
