We interrupt our regular programming for a bit of housekeeping: Version 1.1 of the Slicing Up Eyeballs iPhone/iPad app is now available in Apple’s iTunes Store if you’d like to upgrade your existing version or purchase it — 99 cents — for the very first time and help support what we do here every day.

This week’s new releases include brand new studio albums from Miracle Legion’s Mark Mulcahy, Julian Cope, Steve Kilbey of The Church and Primal Scream, plus an expanded reissue and new rarities compilation from The Chameleons and a live vinyl release from The Fall.

Tonight’s edition of “Dark Wave” featured music from Pigface, Throwing Muses, Alien Sex Fiend, Killing Joke, Lowlife, Bauhaus, Fad Gadget, Depeche Mode, Ski Patrol, The Psychedelic Furs, Front Line Assembly, Tubeway Army, The Smiths, Tones on Tail, The Human League, Wire and much, much more.

Welcome to the Week in Rock, where we round up all of the headlines posted on this site over the past week. This week featured posts about The Replacements, Siouxsie, Pixies’ Kim Deal, My Bloody Valentine, The Cure, The Chameleons, Bernard Sumner and Peter Hook, The Ocean Blue, Gary Numan and more.

Siouxsie returned to the concert stage for the first time in five years tonight in London, performing the first of two nights at the Yoko Ono-curated Meltdown festival with a 20-song set that included a full reading of 1980’s Kaleidoscope plus Banshees favorites like “Cities in Dust” and “Israel” as well as tracks off MantaRay.

The Pixies this morning announced that bassist Kim Deal — who has spent much of this year touring with the reunited Last Splash-era lineup of The Breeders — has left the band , and, in a statement attributed to Black Francis, Joey Santiago and David Lovering, say “we will always consider her a member of the Pixies.”

With Peter Hook already have written one book on Joy Division and planning a follow-up on New Order, Bernard Sumner now will get his say, too, the announcement that he’ll publish an autobiography in fall 2014 that will offer his “personal perspective both on my own life story and the many bands I’ve been in.”
