Two weeks out from the release of Thurston Moore’s new solo album, ‘Demolished Thoughts,’ the Sonic Youth frontman has released a video for first single ‘Benediction.’

We celebrated Dave Gahan’s birthday this morning with some vintage Depeche Mode concert footage, but the band one-upped us with today’s release of a brand-new video for ‘Personal Jesus’ (Stargate Mix) off the upcoming ‘Remixes 2: 81-11’ compilation.

As promised, Morrissey is adding dates to his previously announced summer tour — and not just the four Scandinavian concerts he touted in a recent and somewhat surly open letter to his fans, but he’s now tacked on three additional shows in his native U.K. as well.

It’s Dave Gahan’s birthday today — he’s turning 49 — so to properly mark the occasion, we present this complete 1-hour, 44-minute Depeche Mode concert filmed during the World Violation Tour stop in Frankfurt, Germany, on Oct. 8, 1990.

The first and second albums from classic synthpop duo Erasure — 1986’s ‘Wonderland’ and 1987’s ‘The Circus’ — will be reissued this summer in deluxe 2CD/1DVD packages stuffed with remixes, B-sides, live sessions, music videos, TV performances and concert footage.

This week’s new releases include ‘Move Like This,’ the first new album from The Cars in 24 years; ‘Upside Down: The Creation Records Story’ on DVD and Blu-ray, plus a 2CD soundtrack; vinyl reissues of The Jesus and Mary Chain’s ‘Automatic’ and ‘Honey’s Dead’; and budget-priced The The and Psychedelic Furs best-ofs.

The playlist from tonight’s ‘Dark Wave’ — the weekly Sunday night ‘darker side of alternative’ show on Sirius XM’s 1st Wave — features tracks by Peter Murphy, The Chameleons, Ministry, Yaz, Tones on Tail, The Normal, The Birthday Party and more.
