Mike Paradinas, aka electronic-music star µ-Ziq, has been uploading dozens of archival tracks to Soundcloud that span his musical life, including what he says is the first 4-track recording he ever made: a cover of Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark’s 1981 single “Souvenir” he recorded as a 13-year-old in 1985.

This week’s new releases include the first new album in 17 years from reunited shoegaze legends Swervedriver (“I Wasn’t Born To Lose You”), an album of studio reworkings of live Chris & Cosey tracks by the duo under their current name Carter Tutti, and the UK release of the new Gang of Four album.

Morrissey continues to expand his spring touring plans, and is now set to play four exclusive Australian shows in late May at the famed Sydney Opera House as part of Vivid LIVE 2015, the musical component of the 18-day Vivid Sydney festival. Morrissey will perform in Sydney on May 26, 27, 30 and 31.

Tonight’s edition of “Dark Wave” on Sirius XM’s 1st Wave featured music from Bauhaus, Severed Heads, Ski Patrol, Rose of Avalanche, The Sisters of Mercy, Fields of the Nephilim, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Lard, Black Tape For a Blue Girl, Kommunity FK, Coil, Fad Gadget, Front 242, Laibach and more.

For this week’s “120 Minutes” Rewind, we revisit The Railway Children, from which band members Gary Newby and Stephen Hull stopped by MTV to chat with host Dave Kendall in 1990 about their then-new, major-label third album, Native Place, which featured the modern-rock hit “Every Beat of the Heart.”

The The mastermind Matt Johnson spent the first decade of the 2000s musically inactive and moved on to issue scores to independent films under his old band’s moniker for the past few years. Now, though, he’s finally doing what fans have been clamoring for: he’s recording a proper new The The album.

Fans of that pinnacle of Sunday night television viewing would be advised to get to Philadelphia this weekend, where the Philly Music Video Fest will close with a salute to the program featuring highlights from “120 Minutes,” a special pre-recorded intro from creator/host Dave Kendall and a few surprises.
