Welcome to the Week in Rock, where we round up all of the headlines posted on this site over the past week. It’s been a bit slow because of the holidays, so this is a two-week edition, featuring headlines about My Bloody Valentine, Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode, The Clash, Peter Murphy, Robyn Hitchcock and more.

As we’ve noted before, professionally-filmed footage of Depeche Mode’s 1990 World Violation Tour long has been a Holy Grail for fans. And while the band itself apparently didn’t film the tour, the first of DM’s two epic shows at Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium in August 1990 was filmed by the stadium’s crew .

We’ve come to the close of another year, which means it’s time to tally up what people have been reading on Slicing Up Eyeballs over the past 12 months. A lot of posts about Depeche Mode, it turns out. While the band only logs one entry in the Top 10, they’ve got six headlines in the Top 20 — a good year from the boys from Basildon.

The Pet Shop Boys will usher in 2013 with the release of “Memory of the Future,” the third single off their latest album Elysium, on Jan. 1 in two different download bundles, featuring a number of new remixes of the track as well as three new B-sides — one of which, “One Night,” is being premiered today here at Slicing Up Eyeballs.

When the world didn’t end in some kind of Mayan apocalypse last Friday, Adam Ant took the occasion to debut the music video for “Cool Zombie,” the lead single and opening track to his first new album in 18 years: ‘Adam Ant Is the Blueblack Hussar in Marrying the Gunner’s Daughter,’ which arrives Jan. 22 on Ant’s own record label.
