Indie-rock legends Dinosaur Jr help cap off a year of busy touring with a big show in Brooklyn, New York, in support of MGMT — and we’ve got a pair of tickets to give away to one lucky Slicing Up Eyeballs reader who can get him or herself to the Barclays Center on Dec. 13.

This week’s new releases include the first new album from Black Flag since 1985, plus a Nick Cave live album, reissues from David J, Lemonheads, Ghost Dance and They Might Be Giants, a posthumous collection from Rozz Williams, a new Lou Reed compilation and a long-awaited US Festival DVD.

Tonight’s edition of “Dark Wave” on Sirius XM’s 1st Wave featured music from Magazine, Killing Joke, Sad Lovers and Giants, The Mission, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, A Certain Ratio, Bauhaus, Wire, Front 242, The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Damned, Death Cult and more.

Just days after completing their first tour without original bassist Kim Deal, the resurgent Pixies apparently have decided to part ways with her touring replacement, Kim Shattuck of The Muffs, who took to both Facebook and Twitter tonight to announce she was “super disappointed to learn that my time with the Pixies ended today.”

It’s the Black Friday installment of Record Store Day today, and one of the most sought-after titles no doubt will be the full-album cover of The Stone Roses’ 1989 debut LP by The Flaming Lips and their friends — a release on multi-color vinyl that’s limited to just 500 copies and isn’t an official Record Store Day release.

We pause on this Thanksgiving to catch up on all the Morrissey news, because if we’re thankful for anything, it’s the fact that Moz knows how to keep a music-news website busy. This week, he’s revealed details of his “Satellite of Love” single, announced he’ll perform in Norway and gone off on a rant about Thanksgiving turkeys.

This week’s Slicing Up Eyeballs Music Hour spotlighted the Best of 1989, with selections from Bob Mould, The Cure, Peter Murphy, The Ocean Blue, Hoodoo Gurus, The Sugarcubes, Big Audio Dynamite, The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Godfathers, The Stone Roses, New Order and more.
