Last June, former Hüsker Dü drummer Grant Hart dropped by the studios of Seattle’s KEXP for a half-hour interview and on-air performance — which you can now watch in full after the radio station this week posted the set on YouTube.

As Peter Hook first revealed to Slicing Up Eyeballs in August, the since-reunited New Order will release the songs left over from 2005 swan song ‘Waiting for the Sirens’ Call’ — in an eight-track CD/LP package called ‘Lost Sirens’ that is due to be released in December by Rhino Records.

The Dead Milkmen will hold a belated hometown album-released party for ‘The King in Yellow’ — their first album in 15 years, which the band self-released in March but is now set for wider distribution — when they perform the record in its entirety (‘with limited commercial interruptions’) at a Philadelphia club next month.

Tonight’s episode of Slicing Up Eyeballs on Strangeways Radio featured brand-new music from Kate Bush, R.E.M. and Dinosaur Jr’s J Mascis, plus rare and remixed Cabaret Voltaire and Jesus and Mary Chain, and old favorites from The Chameleons, Depeche Mode, Sonic Youth, The Clash and more. Replay at 2 p.m. EST Friday.

Following its purple-tape reissue of 1988′s ‘Bug’ this past summer, Dinosaur Jr now will pair that album with cassette reissues of its first two records — 1985′s ‘Dinosaur’ and 1987′s ‘You’re Living All Over Me’ — in a limited-edition, wooden box set.

Sonic Youth wrapped up a short South American tour last night with a 70-minute set at the SWU Music & Arts Festival in Sao Paulo, Brazil — something that normally wouldn’t be particularly newsworthy, except that it might have been the legendary noise-rockers’ final performance after 30 years together.

Here’s a nice bit of not-so-vintage video: A full 80-minute, 26-song Pixies concert filmed in Boston in 2004 for broadcast on HDTV as the special “Pixies Come Home: Live From their 2004 World Tour.” Thanks to the Pixies themselves for sharing the video on the band’s official Facebook page yesterday.
