For this week’s installment of Vintage Video, we present a real treasure for fans of The Cure: about a half-hour’s worth of footage of the band rehearsing its Prayer Tour set at Bray Studios in Berkshire, England, in April of 1989, the month before Disintegration was released and the band headed out on tour.

The Jesus and Mary Chain this morning debuted the music video for “Mood Rider,” the third single from the band’s new album Damage and Joy — the Reid brothers’ first record in more than 18 years. The clip follows videos for “Amputation” and “Always Sad.” Check it out right here.

Erasure have shared a remix by Adam Turner of their new single “Love You to the Sky,” the first track to be released off the duo’s upcoming 17th studio album, World Be Gone. It’s also the first taste of a just-announced digital EP featuring mixes of that single.

Reunited Minneapolis punk trio The Suicide Commandos have just released a music video for “Boogie’s Coldest Acre,” off the band’s very belated follow-up to their 1978 debut Make a Record. The 13-track Time Bomb will be released May 5 on the newly reactivated Twin/Tone Records label.

Buying a ticket to a Morrissey concert remains a dicey proposition, with the latest mishap coming Monday night in Tucson, Ariz., as the former Smiths singer left the stage with vocal issues during the night’s sixth song, “Everyday is Like Sunday” — leaving fans far short of a full show.

A representative for Kate Bush this morning is shooting down a widely publicized anecdote in The New Yorker that alleges the Coachella festival turned down a chance to host the stage-shy singer’s first-ever U.S. concert because “no one is going to understand it.”

No stranger to mixing politics and performance, Billy Bragg is grabbing his guitar and heading out on tour “in one-man Clash mode” this fall, taking his Bridges Not Walls tour to the U.S., U.K. and Europe for 30 shows this October and November.

Los Angeles punk legends X will celebrate their 40th anniversary as a band with an impressive 32-date U.S. tour this spring and summer that will bring the group’s original lineup — Exene Cervenka, John Doe, D.J. Bonebrake and Billy Zoon — to cities coast to coast.

The New Yorker today published a fascinating profile of Coachella mastermind Paul Tollett that gets into the nuts and bolts of how the massive festival is operated.
