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:

Defeater were accused of being "pro-nationalist" and "pro-military" after a press release that accompanied a recent donation to veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.

Frank Turner played to his biggest audience yet at the London Olympics opening ceremony.
Michale Graves, formerly of The Misfits, was arrested for marijuana possesion causing him to miss a show on his current summer tour.
.

Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins revealed he is not a fan of Pitchfork.

It was announced that a 3CD+DVD box set of The Sex Pistols will be released for the 35th anniversary of
Nevermind the Bollocks
.

NBC announced that Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong will be joining Christina Aguilera's team on "The Voice"

Against Me!'s Laura Jane Grace revealed more details about her transitioning and her experience with gender dysphoria.

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.
