First announced as a bonus for pre-ordering the ‘Complete Bea’t box set, a package documenting The English Beat’s appearances at the two massive US Festivals in 1982 and 1983 — with both sets in full on DVD, and a CD featuring highlights from each appearance — will be released separately this September.

Steve Wynn will reunite The Dream Syndicate this September for the first time in more than 20 years to play “a handful of shows” in Spain to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the band’s debut album ‘The Days of Wine and Roses’ — plus ‘very possibly some more (concerts) beyond’ those performances.

Another festival, another webcast: The Cure tonight played Rock Werchter 2012 in Belgium, and, as has become customary, part of the band’s set was broadcast live over the web.

With The Stone Roses opening their three-night homecoming stand at Manchester’s Heaton Park tomorrow night, now comes the ‘inside’ look at their reunion: a cheeky 9-minute mockumentary called ‘The Stone Roses: The Second Second Coming,’ which was posted to YouTube today and is quickly making the social media rounds.

While a reunion of The Replacements doesn’t seem to be in the cards, Tommy Stinson has revealed that he’s recording a track with Paul Westerberg to benefit their former bandmate Slim Dunlap — who joined the ‘Mats following the expulsion of Bob Stinson — as the guitarist recovers from a stroke he suffered in February.

This week’s installment of the Slicing Up Eyeballs Music Hour featured new music from R.E.M.’s Peter Buck, The Fixx and Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth, plus favorites from the likes of The Call, Miracle Legion, Elizabeth Fraser, The Teardrop Explodes, Clan of Xymox and more.
