Returning to American TV for the first time in 30 years, The Specials last night performed their 1979 single ‘A Message to You, Rudy’ on ‘Late Night With Jimmy Fallon’ — and a second tune, ‘Little Bitch’, exclusively for the show’s website.

It’s time once again to check in with Beck’s online Record Club, which today posted the third track from its cover of INXS’ 1987 album ‘Kick’: ‘Devil Inside,’ the album’s second smash single.

The rejiggered Public Image Ltd. made its first U.S. television appearance since 1992 last night with a performance of ‘Rise’ on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ to promote its upcoming appearance at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival and subsequent U.S. tour.

During a break from sessions for R.E.M.’s next album, Mike Mills contributed a cover of Billy Bragg’s ‘Sing Their Souls Back Home’ — off the agit-folkie’s 2008’s album ‘Mr. Love & Justice’ — to The Voice Project.

We mark this week’s 30th anniversary of The Cure’s ‘A Forest’ single with this rare 1979 performance on French TV, which features Robert Smith singing entirely different lyrics to a revved-up version of the band’s classic track.

The second post-reunion album from Crowded House — dubbed ‘Intriguer’ — will be released this June under the band’s new deal with Universal Music, and will be followed by a lengthy, 28-date tour of North America beginning in July.

Beck and his Record Club crew, featuring members of St. Vincent, Liars and Os Mutantes, cover ‘New Sensation,’ the second track off INXS’ 1987 blockbuster ‘Kick.’ The ad-hoc group gives the hit single a dreamy, acoustic makeover, complete with violin and vocals from St. Vincent’s Annie Clark and Liars’ Angus Andrew.
