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…

Anti-Flag has finished their major label experiment and has returned to the indie world by signing to SideOneDummy. The band will release The People or the Gun on the label on June 9th. Rancid has titled their new full length Let The Dominoes Fall. The record, their first since 2003, will arrive on June 2nd. The band further detailed the track listing this week as well. Green Day‘s Billie Joe Armstrong discussed their ambitions for their new record 21st Century Breakdown. The band also discussed the musical based on American Idiot that’s currently in the works. Boston Hardcore act, Death Before Dishonor has re-signed to Bridge Nine Records and is working on completing their next full length. Jimmy Eat World have plans to digitally release a live album recorded at the Tempe, Arizona date of the recent Clarity Tour. While plenty of bands have upcoming releases, the Aquabats are struggling with their future. Having been released from Nitro Records the band mused that “its time we all roll up our sleeves and decide to either pack it up and call it quits, OR by some miracle of hard work and perseverance …we … persevere!”

The Bouncing Souls recently had a little bit of tour trouble, having come up against an erupting volcano the form of Mount Redoubt. Greg Graffin of Bad Religion was interviewed on his upcoming mainstream book that discusses religion and naturalism. Blink-182‘s Travis Barker is working with rapper Busta Rhymes on a song for the upcoming Transformers film. Tom Gabel of Against Me! had a revealing interview with Chris Hannah of Propagandhi. The Beastie Boys streamed their upcoming remaster of Check Your Head this week.

This week we said goodbye to Little Type Mailorder co-owner Erika Hynes.

Our annual April Fools prank involved the unveiling of Punknews.com, a website straight out of 1996 with MIDI music, animated gifs and scrolling text.

Punknews.org is proud to continue publishing road journals from Mike Hale (Gunmoll, In The Red). Having packed up his belongings, moved out of his apartment, and committed himself to living as a touring musician, Mike has some tales to tell. Check out Episode 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and now Episode 6 of For Those Still Standing.

Our Video of the Week featured footage of a Minor Threat cover band that included members of the Riverboat Gamblers, Rise Against, Gallows, and MxPx. As always we brought you new Streaming Music including Long Beach, CA-based Adam’s Dagger, the new EP from Vancouver’s Living with Lions, a new record from Albany’s After the Fall, and Volume 2 from Mike Hale of Gunmoll‘s latest band In The Red. So what’s coming up this week? Look for new releases from Beastie Boys (reissue), Bob Mould, Jimmy Eat World (live), Left Alone, the Thermals and the Hold Steady (live) with tours kicking off from World/Inferno Friendship Society (US / Canada), Neko Case (US / Canada), Atmosphere / Attracted to Gods / POS (US / Canada), Bridge and Tunnel (Europe), X (US), Napalm Death / Toxic Holocaust / Trap Them (US), Flogging Molly / Street Dogs / Civet (Japan), Thursday (Europe), and Against Me! / Off With Their Heads (US).
