Former Joy Division and New Order bassist Peter Hook has yet to debut his new show featuring full front-to-back performances of the latter group’s third and fourth albums — 1985’s Low-Life and 1986’s Brotherhood — but he’s already announcing plans to bring it to North America for a 14-date tour this November.

Android users: Your long national nightmare is over, as today we launch the much-requested Android version of the handy Slicing Up Eyeballs app, perhaps the easiest way to stay on top of the latest album and reissue news, tour dates, streaming music and video, and more from your favorite artists.

David J, of Bauhaus and Love and Rockets, this week released the first single off his upcoming solo album, a gentle, acoustic number called “You Suit a Rainy Day” that precedes next month’s arrival of An Eclipse of Ships, an album he’s described as “a journal of the heart and a paean to Woman as muse.”

Tonight’s Slicing Up Eyeballs Music Hour on Strangeways Radio featured music by Morrissey, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Talking Heads, Electronic, The Replacements, Erasure, The Church, Concrete Blonde, Ian McCulloch, Orange Juice, Martin L. Gore, The Sugarcubes and more.

Having just wrapped up their North American tour, the Pixies this morning took the opportunity to debut yet another new music video — this time for the song “Greens and Blues” off the band’s EP2 — and fleshed out its world tour with dates in South America, Europe and Japan — plus a lone U.S. appearance.

Some bands like to announce their entire tours at once, others prefer to dribble out dates here and there. The Psychedelic Furs in recent years have established themselves firmly in the latter camp, which is why it’s once again time to check in with the status of the rockers’ ever-expanding spring U.S. trek.

Warner Music UK today launched a new official website for The Smiths, an timeline dubbed “The Interactive Sound of The Smiths: 1982-1987” that lets visitors scroll through the history of the band as presented through its discography, with each single and full album available to stream via Spotify.
