Dave Gahan soon will have a new Depeche Mode album to promote, but first he’s trying his hand at selling Volkswagens: The frontman appears, fairly briefly, in a new French commercial for the VW Golf that is soundtracked by a couple cover versions of the DM staple “People Are People” as well as the original recording.

Welcome to the Week in Rock, where we round up all of the headlines posted on this site over the past week. This edition includes items on Johnny Marr, Morrissey, Redd Kross, Bob Mould, The House of Love, The Dead Milkmen, Jah Wobble and Keith Levene, The Stone Roses, Camper Van Beethoven and much more.

Morrissey will reschedule the remainder of his postponed North American tour in the beginning of January following his planned December dates in Australia and New Zealand, according to a post today on semi-official fansite True To You, which reports that the new U.S. dates are due to be announced Nov. 12.

For this week’s “120 Minutes” Rewind, we highlight another “120 X-Ray” segment, this time a clip from the Aug. 21, 1988, broadcast featuring host Kevin Seal — bathed, as seemingly always, in chintzy special effects — introducing interview segments with Tracey Tracey of The Primitives.

Not only is Public Image Ltd. back in action these days, but two of that band’s key early members — bassist Jah Wobble and guitarist Keith Levene — have reunited to record their first full-length collaboration since PiL’s classic 1979 album ‘Metal Box.’ You can stream and/or download the set’s rather profane opening track here.

Last month we posted a great Dinosaur Jr live set from Seattle’s KEXP that was recorded at the Doug Fir Lounge in Portland, Ore., during MusicfestNW, and here’s another one: a full 10-song, 40-minute set from the reunited Redd Kross, touring in support of their first album in 15 years, ‘Researching the Blues.’

For those of us living in Southern California in the late ’80s and early ’90s, Halloween meant one thing: Oingo Boingo’s epic “Dia de los Muertos” concerts in Los Angeles and San Diego. We’ve posted this 1990 show before, but now we’ve got two full sets from 1987 — Oct. 30 and 31 at Irivne Meadows.
