This week’s new releases include brand-new studio albums from The dB’s (their first in 25 year), the Bodeans and Men Without Hats, plus a live album from electro-industrial giants Skinny Puppy and a reissue of ‘File Under: Easy Listening,’ the second album by Bob Mould’s band Sugar.

The playlist from tonight’s edition of ‘Dark Wave’ — the Sunday night ‘darker side of alternative’ show on Sirius XM’s 1st Wave — featured Dead Can Dance, The Damned, The Stranglers, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Yazoo, The Sugarcubes, Modern English, The Teardrop Explodes and much more.

We’ve got a rare double milestone today, as not one but two members of the Pixies — bassist Kim Deal and guitarist Joey Santiago — celebrate their birthdays (she’s 51 and he’s 47). We mark the occasion with this complete 29-song ‘Trompe le Monde’-era set filmed on June 26, 1991, in London.

This week’s Slicing Up Eyeballs headlines include news about The Cure, The Stone Roses, Pixies, The Cult, The Mission, Killing Joke, Bob Mould, Meat Puppets, Budgie, Morrissey, Dinosaur Jr, Madness, Sonic Youth, Peter Gabriel and PiL — plus our latest Auto Reverse mixtape for your downloading pleasure.

The Stone Roses — Ian Brown, John Squire, Gary “Mani” Mounfield and Alan “Reni” Wren — opened their first tour since 1996 with a pair of full-length concerts Friday and Saturday night at Club Razzmatazz in Barcelona, Spain. Check out the setlists from each night, plus video highlights of both concerts.

Last night, BBC Four aired the second installment of the new three-part ‘Punk Britannia’ documentary series. Thanks, once again, to YouTuber syden1, you can now watch Part 2, subtitled ‘Punk 1976-1978.’ The final part, ‘Post-Punk 1978-1981,’ debuts next Friday, June 15.

Last night, Jane’s Addiction frontman Perry Farrell may have revealed the Pixies are in the studio, replaying to a tweet from @leCultVult — ‘@perryfarrell back in the day the cool kids at my high school it was all about Jane’s Addiction and the Pixies’ — by writing, ‘Still is Pixies r recording.’
