We’ve seen some fairly good webcast footage this summer of the Peter Hook-less New Order playing at various European festivals, but this is far and away the best live film to emerge of the reunited band’s summer touring: a 44-minute reel of footage from the band’s June 21 performance at Berlin’s Tempodrom.

Two weekends ago, Charlatans frontman Tim Burgess brought to life a “virtual cafe” called Tim Peaks Diner at the UK’s Kendal Calling 2012 festival and invited some of his favorite musicians to play. Here we see Burgess and Aztec Camera’s Roddy Frame backing up Edwyn Collins on his1995 solo hit “A Girl Like You.”

The House of Love — who have been largely dormant following a couple years’ worth of activity surrounding the release of 2005 reunion album ‘Days Run Away’ — returned to the stage Friday night for the first time in four years, performing at the Off Festival in Katowice, Poland. Check out a clip of the band playing ‘Road.’

The Jesus and Mary Chain are no strangers to enlisting singing actresses for on-stage duets — Scarlett Johansson famously joined the band at Coachella to sing ‘Just Like Honey’ — and now they drafted ‘Mad Men’ star Jessica Paré to pitch in on ‘Sometimes Always’ and ‘Just Like Honey’ at two recent North American shows.

Pat Fish and Max Eider — co-founders of U.K. indie-pop group The Jazz Butcher, aka The Jazz Butcher Conspiracy — are planning to celebrate this year’s 30th anniversary of the group by making their first record since 2000’s ‘Rotten Soul,’ and the duo is funding the project through fans’ donations.

For our latest installment of Vintage Video, we turn, yet again, to the fabulous archive of the German TV show ‘Rockpalast,’ this time for a full, 100-minute concert by Big Country that was filmed March 15, 1986, during the band’s tour ahead of the release of its third album, ‘The Seer.’
