Here's your question and answer of the week from the Punknews Formspring:

Q: Which Punknews editor makes the best cookies? For that matter, which one's milkshake brings all the boys to the yard?

A: I would really like to know. The only food Justin ever made me tasted like cardboard on fire. Adam lives off wine and being Canadian. Aubin would probably just buy cookies or trick someone into making them. Jesse can make some mean coffee, but I think he looks down on the accompanying backed goods. Chris can only videotape someone making cookies. Brian is from Long Island…They don't bake. Ben can pretty much only bet on who will make better cookies. And I'm terrible at everything. Bryne….I guess, wins? Part 2: Mine. Hands down. - Rich

Hello everybody and welcome to Navel Gazing: your look back at the week in Punknews. I'm Adam White and I'll be your guide through some of the most popular, notable, and otherwise attention getting stories of the past seven days. Each and every Punknews story is built from tips contributed by you fine folks, and here's what got the community talking this week:

• A report in Billboard noted that album sales have hit rock bottom with the week ending May 30th bringing in the lowest music sales numbers since data began to be collected in `94.
• Max Bemis of Say Anything sat down on video to chat with the Lawrence Arms' Brendan Kelly and Red Scare Records' Toby Jeg. Topics strange, slow and old were touched upon.
• Tour head honcho Kevin Lyman made a number of comments on the 2010 Warped Tour. As usual the question of what bands and genres are showcased dominated the discussion.
• The Gaslight Anthem is streaming their new album American Slang
• Vocalist/guitarist Dan Vapid stated in a recent interview that The Methadones will call it a day by year's end.
• Frank Turner has returned from Israel and defended his decision to play dates there.
• The Alkaline Trio's Matt Skiba released the new solo song "S.O.S."

With that we hand over this Sunday evening to you, the Punknews community. From that glorious, likely bearded rabble we've see the creation of everything from message boards and Punknews fantasy sports leagues to even a band or two. So talk amongst yourselves and we'll see you Monday…

Each and every Punknews story is built from tips contributed by you fine folks, and here's what got the community talking this week:

• A number of bands including Rage Against The Machine, Rise Against, Sonic Youth are officially boycotting Arizona over the controversial immigration law
• Jay Bentley, one of my favourite people in the world, chatted about the new Bad Religion album
• NOFX's Fat Mike revealed the truth about the Cokie The Clown incident at SXSW, although I'm suspicious we'll learn that he peed in the second bottle as well (and so on to infinitum)
• Oklahoma City's Red City Radio signed to Paper and Plastick and the Punknews commenter community was absolutely stoked. I'm serious. Hurray for rare glimpses of snark-free positivity.
• New Found Glory is touring with Lemuria and The Wonder Years this August.
• Anti-Flag, The Menzingers and The Max Levine Ensemble will soon play a benefit show to raise funds and awareness for We Are Family, an organization that supports low-income, isolated seniors in inner-city DC.
• Punkcore Records is converting to a mail order shop and won't be releasing any new records themselves. The studded-belt crowd need a new champion…

With that we hand over this Sunday evening to you, the Punknews community. From that glorious, likely bearded rabble we've see the creation of everything from message boards and Punknews fantasy sports leagues to even a band or two. So talk amongst yourselves and we'll see you Monday…
