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 Tears For Fears, The Replacements, The Style Council, A Split-Second, The Smithereens, Depeche Mode, Ministry, Pixies, Lords of the New Church and more.

We’re now just days away from The Replacements’ first live performance in 22 years, and the band — Paul Westerberg and Tommy Stinson plus, drummer Josh Freese and guitarist David Minehan — have teased fans with a third very brief live clip. This time we get 11 seconds of ‘Mats tearing through “Takin’ a Ride.”

The Smithereens will celebrate the 25th anniversary of Green Thoughts next month with a new digital compilation that collects live versions of songs from that album, song demos and radio recordings, much of which was recorded around 1988 — although some of the material comes from the ’90s.

For this week’s “120 Minutes” Rewind, we go back almost exactly 30 years with this “120 X-Ray” segment on The Style Council, which aired Aug. 7, 1988. As you can see in this clip presented below, the Kevin Seal-hosted segment features Paul Weller and Mick Talbott discussing their then-new album.

For this week’s this installment of Vintage Video, we travel back 30 years to a kinder, gentler time, an era before Al Jourgensen discovered speed metal and riddled his face with tattoos and piercings, and was, instead, simply content to rock a sharp hat, sing in a faux British accent and craft some high-grade early-’80s synthpop.

Depeche Mode’s global tour in support of new album Delta Machine opens its 24-date North American leg tonight in Detroit and, to mark the occasion, the band today debuted a live performance video for “Should Be Higher,” which has been expected to be the record’s third single.
