Less than a month after being forced to cut a tour short to recover from cancer treatment, Elvis Costello has announced his next studio album with his long-running combo The Imposters (ie, most of The Attractions) and debuted two of the songs that will appear on that record. Check out the songs here.

Better late than never? Some three months after voting closed, we’re finally ready to reveal the results of the fourth installment of the Best of the ’80s Redux series, the apparently sporadic Slicing Up Eyeballs readers poll that’s now ranked the Top 100 songs of 1983. Check out the full results right here.

As is the custom in these parts, we’ve created a Spotify playlist to accompany our just-posted Top 100 songs of 1983 readers poll results. As you can see (and hear), the playlist opens with New Order’s “Blue Monday” and closes with China Crisis’s “Working with Fire and Steel.” Check out the full 7-hour playlist right here.

EBM giants Nitzer Ebb, last active with the release of 2010’s Industrial Complex and subsequent touring, today announced a giant career-spanning vinyl box set and plans to tour in 2019 with original drummer David Gooday back on board for the first time since 1987. Full tracklists are available right here.

Record Rack: A round-up of the week’s new albums, expanded reissues and/or box sets, appearing each Monday on Slicing Up Eyeballs. All releases due out this Friday unless noted. Not a big week on the new-release front, but there is a brand-new studio album from James: ‘Living in Extraordinary Times.’
