Morrissey’s been teasing the hell out of his brand-new album World Peace Is None Of Your Business in the weeks ahead of its July 15 release, with full-track previews, spoken-word promotional videos and, perhaps not as effectively, an aborted U.S. tour. Now, though, comes the moment of truth.

Tonight’s edition of “Dark Wave” — the Sunday night celebration of the “darker side of classic alternative” on Sirius XM’s 1st Wave — featured music from Big Black, Skinny Puppy, Clan of Xymox, The Tear Garden, Fad Gadget, Sad Lovers and Giants, Theatre of Pain, Scratch Aid, Cocteau Twins and more.

Annik Honoré — girlfriend of Joy Division’s Ian Curtis at the time of his death, the alleged inspiration for “Love Will Tear Us Apart” and the co-founder of the Les Disques du Crépuscule and Factory Benelux labels — died this week at the age of 56, according to press reports and associates.

When New Order toured South America earlier this year, the band debuted “Singularity,” its first new track since the Waiting for the Sirens’ Call sessions. Earlier tonight, Bernard Sumner and Co. opened a U.S. tour with another premiere, performing the new song “Plastic” for the first time ever.

Back in 2011, the good folks at Rhino Records requested we take a stab at curating their ‘Just Can’t Get Enough: The ’80s’ playlist on Spotify — and now that the label’s launched its own app within Spotify, we’ve been asked to freshen it up occasionally with 25 new tracks representing the classic ’80s alternative era.

Exploring the legacy of ’80s college rock, the Slicing Up Eyeballs Music Hour airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. Eastern/7 p.m. Pacific on Strangeways Radio. If you caught this week’s episode, pop over to the Strangeways message board to leave requests for future shows.

As we reported last week, The Psychedelic Furs are touring the western U.S. this fall with The Lemonheads, and we’ve got a pair of tickets to give away to one of those shows: the bands’ Nov. 13 concert at the House of Blues in Anaheim, Calif.

More than a year ago, the surviving members of The Call reunited with for a pair of concerts in California with Robert Levon Been of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club filling in for his late father Michael Been, and while a full tour never came to pass, the band has now released a CD and DVD.

This week’s new releases include the 30th anniversary vinyl reissue of The The’s ‘Soul Mining,’ a second brand-new album from Brian Eno and Karl Hyde, a reissue of X’s ‘More Fun in the New World,’ a collection from Steve Wynn called ‘Sketches in Spain,’ a Blow Monkeys reissue and a Cabaret Voltaire best-of.

Tonight’s edition of “Dark Wave” on Sirius XM’s 1st Wave featured music from Portion Control, 1919, Tones on Tail, Anne Clark, The Sound, Joy Division, Lard, Daniel Ash, The Cure, Gary Numan, KMFDM, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Alien Sex Fiend, Dead Can Dance, Shriekback and more.

The Jesus and Mary Chain today confirmed two European festival appearances this summer and fall — in Paris and Katowice, Poland — ahead of the band’s much-anticipated performances of 1985 debut Psychocandy at five U.K. dates in November.

Next week, the classic 1983 debut album from The The will receive a slightly belated 30th anniversary reissue in the form of a deluxe 2LP set that will include the newly remastered album on one 180-gram vinyl platter and six remixes and B-sides on the other.

Midge Ure returns this August with his first new solo album in more than a decade, a 10-song set called Fragile that he’ll promote by joining the 13-date Retro Futura Tour later this summer alongside Thompson Twins’ Tom Bailey, Howard Jones, China Crisis and Katrina of Katrina & The Waves.
