Today we unveil the results of Part 2 of our year-long Best of the ’80s feature, an ambitious, year-by-year poll of Slicing Up Eyeballs’ readers to determine just what were the best albums of each year of the 1980s — and then, when that’s all said and done at the end of 2013, we’ll run a best-of-the-decade poll.

On Record Store Day last year, Devo released a 2LP vinyl live set culled from a cassette recording made of the band’s Seattle stop on its 1981 tour in support of New Traditionlalists. Come next month, fans not into that whole vinyl thing will be able hear it, too, as the band releases the concert on CD — with two bonus tracks.

Another month, another Auto Reverse mixtape — two 45-minute sides of music new and vintage. But change is in the air: We’ve altered format slightly, moving from Soundcloud to Mixcloud for the streaming mixes, which, unfortunately, are no longer available for download.

This week’s new releases include brand-new studio albums from Seattle proto-grunge legends Mudhoney (‘Vanishing Point’), thrash masters Suicidal Tendencies (’13’), the Dead Kennedys’ Jello Biafra (‘White People and the Damage Done’) and Victor DeLorenzo of the Violent Femmes (‘Victor DeLorenzo’).

Tonight’s edition of “Dark Wave” — the Sunday night “darker side of alternative” show on Sirius XM’s 1st Wave — featured Alien Sex Fiend, The Sisters of Mercy, Front 242, Clan of Xymox, The Lucy Show, The Cult, Pylon, Cocteau Twins, 1,000 Homo DJs and much more.

The Delta Machine promotional blitz hit U.K. television Saturday night as Depeche Mode appeared on “The Jonathan Ross Show” for a 10-minute interview segment with the seemingly pants-less host and a black-and-white performance of the album’s first single, “Heaven.”
