The Jesus and Mary Chain is set to perform its landmark 1985 debut Psychocandy in its entirety at three U.K. concerts this November ahead of the record’s 30th anniversary next year, the NME is reporting today. The shows will be the band’s first in the U.K. since 2008.

The opening track and lead single off Morrissey’s forthcoming album World Peace is None of Your Business has just gone on sale via iTunes and other digital retailers, and accompanying the track in the iTunes Music Store is a video of Moz performing a solemn, spoken-word rendition of the song.

Daniel Ash has treated fans to the first taste of his forthcoming album Stripped, which will feature re-recorded selections from his catalog with Bauhaus, Love and Rockets and Tones on Tail. And the first track to emerge is Ash’s new electro take on Love and Rockets’ 1989 hit single “So Alive.”

With the release of his 10th solo album Lion now just three weeks away, Peter Murphy is offering up a second track from the forthcoming record: “I Am My Own Name,” an ominous slow-builder that pays off in a big way. You can stream the full track via the music video posted here.

This week’s new releases include a 3-disc Blondie set featuring a new album, re-recorded greatest hits and a live DVD, plus a brand-new studio album from Michael Gira’s Swans (‘To Be Kind’), a 4CD box set by The Beat (‘The Complete Studio Recordings’), and a live Talking Head radio broadcast.

With Morrissey’s tour under way, despite a bit of a bumpy start, it’s time for some new music — and it appears we’ll hear the title track off Moz’s upcoming album World Peace is None of Your Business when it’s released Tuesday as a single in the U.K. The song has has popped up on Amazon.co.uk as a digital single.

Tonight’s edition of “Dark Wave” on Sirius XM’s 1st Wave featured music from Xmal Deutschland, TSOL, The Sisters of Mercy, Julian Cope, Fad Gadget, Christian Death, Skinny Puppy, Brian Eno, Sad Lovers and Giants, Clan of Xymox, Camouflage, The Sound and more.

It’s beginning to look like The Replacements have a new member: Tonight in Atlanta, the band once again enlisted Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong, who first joined the band at the second weekend of Coachella last month, and now followed that up by appearing with the ‘Mats at the Shaky Knees Music Festival.

The Replacements’ reunion train continues to roll on, and now will hit the Pacific Northwest late this summer as Seattle’s Bumbershoot this week announced its 2014 lineup, which will feature the ‘Mats, Elvis Costello, Mission of Burma, The Afghan Whigs, Jonathan Richman, The Dream Syndicate and more.

Morrissey returned to the road Wednesday night as his U.S. tour opened in San Jose, Calif., with a show that found the former Smiths frontman debuting three new songs off World Peace Is None Of Your Business during a 20-song set that ended abruptly as Moz was forced to flee the stage.

Not only is Wax Trax! Records being reborn as a label, but the famed Chicago record store will return next month, too — for one day only. Julia Nash is planning a one-day Wax Trax! pop-up shop inside Windy City music venue Metro on June 15 to mark the label’s first release.

Sonic Youth will launch a new reissue campaign focused on the band’s ’80s pre-Geffen releases next month with new CD and 2LP pressings of landmark 1988 album Daydream Nation as well as a new CD edition of The Whitey Album, released that same year under the name Ciccone Youth.

First: a mea culpa. Yes, the Slicing Up Eyeballs Mixtape Department has fallen down on the job, failing to produce a new entry in the Auto Reverse series since winter wrapped its cruel grip across this land.
