Tonight’s edition of “Dark Wave” — the Sunday night “darker side of alternative” show on Sirius XM’s 1st Wave — featured Cocteau Twins, Death Cult, Camouflage, Killing Joke, Lords of the New Church, The Cure, Lowlife, Shriekback, The March Violets, Skeletal Family, The Jesus and Mary Chain and more.

This week featured posts about The Replacements, Johny Lydon, Morrissey, Living Colour, Lowlife, The Glove, Social Distortion and The Breeders — plus a new Auto Reverse mixtape and the results of our Readers Poll 2012, which saw Bob Mould top the best-album list.

The Replacements — namely Paul Westerberg and Tommy Stinson — this evening teased Songs For Slim, their much-anticipated reunion project, announced last year as four-song, ultra-limited, vinyl-only covers EP that was to be auctioned off to raise money to help pay for the medical expenses of former bandmate Slim Dunlap.

For this week’s “120 Minutes” Rewind, we flash back to 1992 for a walk through Tijuana, Mexico, with John Lydon and host Dave Kendall. This appears to actually be an MTV news piece, likely repackaged from segments produced for a July 1992 episode of “120 Minutes” that featured the Public Image Ltd. frontman as co-host.

Morrissey will kick off his rescheduled U.S. tour next week with a live performance on “The Late Show with David Letterman,” stopping by the talk show on Tuesday, according to CBS, before opening the two-month, coast-to-coast trek the following night in Long Island, New York.

Genre-straddling hard rockers Living Colour will celebrate the 25th anniversary of their hit debut album Vivid with a new reissue and a tour centered around the 1988 album, with initial European dates in the Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Austria and Germany already announced for mid-March.

The makers of the upcoming documentary “Eternity Road: The Story of Lowlife” — chronicling the cult Scottish band that formed in 1984 and released its final album a decade later — promise to expose “the greatest post-punk band you never heard” through rare footage and interviews with band members.

Happy New Year! It’s also a new month, which means it’s time to roll out a new installment in our ongoing series of Auto Reverse mixtapes — two 45-minute slabs of music to help ease you into 2013. Below, you can stream or download the two sides, brimming with new music and some great vintage tracks.

The Glove is best remembered for bringing together Robert Smith of The Cure and Siouxsie and the Banshees bassist Steven Severin. But the group, which released a single album, ‘Blue Sunshine,’ in 1983, also featured vocalist Jeanette Landray — who looks back on the experience after 30 years in this video.

Two years after the release of ‘Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes,’ Los Angeles punk warriors Social Distortion are still on the road — and they managed a nice surprise for fans at a Dec. 15 show in Los Angeles, when bearded guitar legend Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top joined the Mike Ness and Co. on stage to play “Drug Train.”

Tonight’s Slicing Up Eyeballs Music Hour on Strangeways Radio featured new music by Pulp, The Dead Milkmen, Edwyn Collins, Pet Shop Boys and They Might Be Giants, plus favorites old and new from Bernard Sumner, The Smithereens, Pixies, The Smiths, Johnny Thunders, Aztec Camera and more.

The Breeders are gearing up for a big 2013 as the ‘Last Splash’-era lineup reunites to tour that album, and to get fans into an appropriately festive mood, the band posted iPhone-filmed video last night of a rehearsal in Kim Deal’s basement of the song “New Year.” Deal also has launched a 7-inch single series.
