The reunited Big Country — with The Alarm’s Mike Peters filling in for the late Stuart Adamson — will perform its 1983 debut album ‘The Crossing’ in its entirety during a tour of the U.K. and Germany early next year in conjunction with an upcoming reissue of the classic album ‘in various formats’ by Universal Music.

The last couple years have seen Robert Smith of The Cure in mad collaboration mode, and one of those tracks — 65daysofstatic’s ‘Come To Me’ — resurfaced this week when Pitchfork posted it as a free download to promote the upcoming, and belated, U.S. release of that band’s 2010 album ‘We Were Exploding Anyway.’

Check out the setlist and a generous serving of video highlights from The Mission’s concert in Bristol, England, on Monday night — the first date on the reunited band’s 25th anniversary tour of Europe and the U.K. Includes video of ‘Beyond the Pale,’ ‘Tower of Strength’ and more.

Mike Joyce, former drummer of The Smiths, will dedicate his weekly Coalition Chart Show on New York City’s East Village Radio entirely to his old band this morning, playing two hours of hand-picked cuts from the new Rhino Records-released ‘Complete’ box set.

Cassettes Won’t Listen is no stranger to ’80s alternative fare, having covered, in recent years, The Cure’s ‘Let’s Go to Bed’ and INXS’s ‘Need You Tonight. Now comes a brand-new cover of Duran Duran’s early ’90s comeback smash, ‘Ordinary World.’

With Bob Mould’s birthday approaching — he’ll be 51 on Sunday — we thought we’d dedicate this installment of Vintage Video to the legendary Hüsker Dü. And so we present this fantastic footage of the trio powering through an hour-long set at London’s Camden Palace in 1985.

To promote the release this week of Peter Murphy’s new six-track digital EP ‘The Secret Bees of Ninth,’ the folks over at RollingStone.com are offering a free download of the collection’s opening song, ‘Gaslit,’ which previously appeared as a bonus track on the Japanese release of ‘Ninth.’
