With his autobiography ‘See A Little Light: The Trail of Rage and Melody’ due out next month, Bob Mould is gearing up for a busy summer that will include a book tour, dates with his Blowoff DJ side project, an opening slot at two giant Foo Fighters shows in the U.K. and the reissue of Sugar’s classic debut ‘Copper Blue’ on audiophile vinyl.

It’s Wayne Hussey’s birthday today — he’s 53 — and to honor the co-founder of goth-rock luminaries The Mission, we present this 1990 concert filmed in Dusseldorf during the ‘Carved in Sand’ tour and broadcast on German television.

What began as a modest U.K. tour this June by Morrissey continues to grow, with a new round of eight European concerts added to the itinerary in recent days — resulting in a trek that now stretches 25 dates and goes into August.

The surviving members of INXS — accompanied, presumably, by frontman/game show winner J.D. Fortune — will mount a 25-date North American tour this summer in support of the band’s ‘Original Sin’ collection of re-recorded greatest hits. Berlin opens at least 11 of the U.S. shows.

In their first television appearance in 24 years, The Cars dropped by ‘Late Night with Jimmy Fallon’ on Tuesday night to perform ‘Blue Tip’ off just-released comeback album ‘Move Like This’ as well as 1979 smash ‘Let’s Go.’

Tonight’s episode of Slicing Up Eyeballs on Strangeways Radio featured new music from New Order, Peter Murphy, Clan of Xymox, Kate Bush and Peter Hook, plus old faves by The House of Love, XTC, Assembly and The Sisters of Mercy.

Peter Murphy will return to the U.S. next month for ‘select in-store appearances and live shows’ to promote the release of his new album ‘Ninth,’ a run of dates that includes a New York appearance and seven California performances.
