Fans of The Lemonheads hoping to see a reunion of Evan Dando and the band’s former bassist Juliana Hatfield during the group’s current tour opening for The Psychedelic Furs are in for disappointment: Hatfield is not on the tour after all. When asked at a recent show, Dando simply said, “She’s in Boston.”

Sonic Youth today offered up the first taste of its forthcoming archival live album, ‘Smart Bar – Chicago 1985,’ in the form of ‘Bad Moon Rising’ opening combo “Intro/Brave Men Run (In My Family),” which you can check right here. The full album is due out Nov. 14.

This week’s new releases include a ‘prequel’ to The Cult’s latest album, plus the second single from Pet Shop Boys’ new record, audiophile vinyl reissues from The Stone Roses and The Gun Club, and a 3-disc box set from the U.K. called ‘Teenage Kicks 1977-1981 The Music That Changed Everything.’

Tonight’s edition of “Dark Wave” — the Sunday night “darker side of alternative” show on Sirius XM’s 1st Wave — featured The Creatures, Sex Gang Children, The Gun Club, Joy Division, The Cramps, Love and Rockets, Morrissey, Clan of Xymox and much, much more.

This week’s round-up of Slicing Up Eyeballs headlines includes items about Killing Joke, Midge Ure, New Order, Dinosaur Jr, Blondie, The Stone Roses, The Ocean Blue and more — plus the debut of Slicing Up Eyeballs as the new host of Sirius XM’s ‘Dark Wave.’

For this week’s “120 Minutes” Rewind, we revisit the show’s “120 X-Ray” segment, a short spotlight on a given band — in this case, a Kevin Seal-hosted piece on Siouxsie and the Banshees that aired in 1988 following the release of the band’s Peepshow album.

Slicing Up Eyeballs is going on vacation, taking Mrs. Eyeballs on a 10th anniversary trip to an exotic foreign land. While we won’t be abandoning our vigil entirely, the next week will see only sporadic posting, with regular features mixed with periodic news round-ups.
