For this week’s this installment of Vintage Video, we travel all the way back to 1978, when things apparently still were filmed in black and white, and the Talking Heads were still a herky-jerky four-piece yet to discover world music and on-stage guest musicians.

While the Big Audio Dynamite reunion didn’t result in any new recordings, frontman Mick Jones has re-teamed with that band’s rhythm section — drummer Greg Roberts and bassist Leo “E-Z Kill” Williams — to lend guitar and backing vocals to new single “Too Late,” from the duo’s band Dreadzone.

It’s hardly a tour or anything, but Steve Kilbey of The Church and The Afghan Whigs’ Greg Dulli — who have been writing new music together over the past year — have now added a second performance together this fall, a show in San Francisco that comes two days after their sold-out Los Angeles gig.

This week we posted the results of the latest round of our Best of the ’80s feature, a year-long series of readers’ polls that now has us at 1986. To coincide with the publication of the Top 100 Albums of 1986 list, here’s a handy Spotify playlist featuring one song apiece off each of the albums on that list.

This week’s Slicing Up Eyeballs Music Hour featured brand-new music from the Pixies, Throwing Muses, Tears For Fears, The Chills, Dean Wareham and The Mission, plus old favorites by Husker Du, Big Audio Dynamite, Oingo Boingo, Midnight Oil, The Pretenders and more.

Eighteen years to the day after Oingo Boingo’s farewell concert at the Universal Amphitheater, the band’s former frontman, Danny Elfman, will take the concert stage for an ultra-rare live performance on Halloween, conducting and singing a program called “Danny Elfman’s Music From the Films of Tim Burton.”

We’ve reached September, which means it’s time to unveil the results of Part 7 of our year-long Best of the ’80s feature, a year-by-year poll of Slicing Up Eyeballs’ readers to determine the best albums of each year of the 1980s — and then, at the end of 2013, we’ll run a monster best-of-the-decade poll to crown the overall champs.
