On Friday night, Steve Wynn reconvened The Dream Syndicate for the first of four 30th anniversary reunion concerts in Spain, playing a 15-song set heavy on ‘The Days of Wine and Roses’ before a festival crowd in Barcelona. Not much video has yet emerged, but we’ve got a few clips posted.

DJ and former punk drummer Chris Lawhorn next month will release a 22-track instrumental album titled ‘Fugazi Edits’ that, as its name suggests, is built on samples of every song released by the dormant post-hardcore band Fugazi over the course of its recording career, which spanned 1988 to 2001.

British ska-pop Madness recently announced they’ll release their 10th studio album — the cheekily titled ‘Oui Oui Si Si Ja Ja Da Da’ — late next month, and, as Marco on the Bass points out, there’s now a seven-minute, full-album sampler on YouTube to whet fans’ appetites.

Seattle rockers Mudhoney this November will release a concert DVD featuring newly re-discovered footage of the band’s 40-minute set at the Berlin Independent Days festival in 1988 — and here’s the first glimpse of it, via a minute-long trailer released today. “Mudhoney: Live in Berlin 1988″ will be released Nov. 13.

Limited to 1,500 copies, the set features one CD and one DVD “featuring all the tracks and remixes across the Tomorrow’s World project that have not been commercially available, or have not been available on a physical format, plus all the videos that accompanied the Tomorrow’s World album and singles.

Bassist Tony Butler — who joined Big Country prior to the recording of its 1982 debut single ‘Harvest Home’ — announced this past weekend that he’s leaving the recently reunited band, writing in a message to fans that ‘after 32 years of incredible highs and a very tragic low, I feel that now is the time to look to new horizons.’

This week’s new releases include expanded reissues of albums from R.E.M.
