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.

New Wave-era singer-songwriter Marshall Crenshaw is celebrating the 30th anniversary of the release of his debut single ‘Something’s Gonna Happen” by offering fans a free download of a previously unreleased live recording of ‘Maryanne,’ which appeared on his classic 1982 self-titled debut.

More than a year after premiering at South By Southwest, the David Byrne concert film ‘Ride, Rise, Roar’ — documenting the creation and staging of the ‘Songs of David Byrne and Brian Eno’ tour in 2008 and 2009 — arrives on DVD and Blu-ray next week.

Back in March we brought you news that Primal Scream would release a DVD and Blu-ray of its Nov. 26 performance of 1991’s just-reissued ‘Screamadelica’ in London — and now we can confirm that the concert film also will be released in the U.S. on both formats, with a bonus CD accompanying the DVD version.

Peter Murphy continues to tease his forthcoming album ‘Ninth’ with pre-release tracks, today premiering a fifth song — another rocking number, ‘Seesaw Sway’ — off the 11-track record via the Los Angeles Times’ Pop & Hiss blog.
