This week’s new releases include — at long last — the reissues of My Bloody Valentine’s two studio albums, plus a compilation of EPs and unreleased tracks, as well as the new self-titled debut from Heavy Blanket, a project that finds Dinosaur Jr’s J Mascis playing ‘psych-drenched instrumental blues jams.’

The playlist from tonight’s edition of ‘Dark Wave’ — the weekly ‘darker side of alternative’ show on Sirius XM’s 1st Wave — featured Siouxsie and the Banshees, Joe Strummer, My Bloody Valentine, Cocteau Twins, Echo & The Bunnymen, The Cult, The The and much more.

This week’s round-up of Slicing Up Eyeballs headlines includes items about the Beastie Boys’ Adam Yauch, The Stone Roses, Public Image Ltd., Mission of Burma, Soundgarden, Depeche Mode, Cocteau Twins’ Elizabeth Fraser, The Cure’s Porl Thompson and Bob Mould — plus our latest Auto Reverse mixtape.

Beastie Boys co-founder Adam Yauch — known by his on-stage and behind-the-lens alter egos MCA and Nathanial Hörnblowér, respectively — lost a nearly 3-year-old battle with this morning, passing away in a New York hospital and leaving a deep musical and activist legacy that spanned the 1980s, ’90s and 2000s.

With The Stone Roses’ reunion now just over a month away — the tour currently is slated to open June 8 in Barcelona — we thought we’d use this installment of Vintage Video to take a look back at the band in its prime, via the classic home video ‘Blackpool Live,’ which you can see in full right here.

With Public Image Ltd.’s first new album in 20 years — ‘This Is PiL’ — arriving at the end of this month, we can now bring you the record’s cover art as well as details of the U.K. deluxe edition, which will include a bonus DVD featuring John Lydon and Co.’s full performance at a London club last month.

This month’s tape includes brand-new recordings from Public Image Ltd. and X’s John Doe and Exene Cervenka, plus favorites both new and old from Depeche Mode, Southern Death Cult, Sad Lovers and Giants, My Bloody Valentine and New Order, and a few covers from the likes of School of Seven Bells and Grant-Lee Phillips.
