This week’s new releases include brand-new albums from Pet Shop Boys, David Byrne and St. Vincent and Tom Tom Club, plus reissues from The Stone Roses and Aztec Camera, a live CD/DVD of The English Beat’s US Festival performances, and best-ofs from Duran Duran and Propaganda.

The playlist from tonight’s edition of “Dark Wave” — the Sunday night “darker side of alternative” show on Sirius XM’s 1st Wave — featured Love and Rockets, Southern Death Cult, The Human League, The Stranglers, Killing Joke, The March Violets, Bauhaus, The Psychedelic Furs and much more.

Dinosaur Jr’s third post-reunion album, and 10th full-length effort overall, ‘I Bet On Sky,’ is due out in less than 10 days now, but, starting Sunday night, the band is streaming the full 10-track album via NPR Music. The reunited band recorded the album earlier this year, and it follows 2007′s ‘Beyond’ and 2009′s ‘Farm.’

This week’s round-up of Slicing Up Eyeballs headlines includes items about Morrissey, Modern English, R.E.M., The Primitives, the US Festival, The Cult, Ministry, Bob Mould, Pet Shop Boys, The Vaselines, David Byrne and more — plus our latest Auto Reverse mixtape.

For this week’s installment of “120 Minutes” Rewind, we take a look at one of the early shows via this seven-and-a-half-minute reel of Alan Hunter’s hosting segments from the episode that aired on Sept. 28, 1986. The opening features a skit of sorts with Dave Kendall prepping Hunter for the night’s broadcast.

Morrissey this week confirmed the first three dates of a six-concert visit to Australia and New Zealand this December, including a show at the famed Sydney Opera House. The dates — in Auckland, Melbourne and Sydney — were announced, as usual, via fansite True To You.

Citing “unforeseen circumstances… beyond our control,” reunited post-punk/New Wave rockers Modern English canceled a five-date tour of the band’s native U.K. that was to have taken place this week, and instead announced a trio of concerts in Florida later this month.
