This month’s tape features recent tracks from Paul Weller and Gang of Four, and classic cuts from The Clash, Camouflage and Simple Minds, plus British Sea Power covering The Cure, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs remaking Sonic Youth and The Shop Assistants doing The Jesus and Mary Chain.

Thurston Moore did double duty promoting his new solo album ‘Demolished Thoughts’ on the radio yesterday, managing to appear on the air for live sessions on both KCRW in Los Angeles and 89.3 The Current in Minneapolis/St. Paul (the latter appearance was pre-taped, as Moore also played a gig in L.A. last night).

Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore has released a new video for ‘Circulation’ off his new album ‘Demolished Thoughts.’ He’s also got a slate of new tour dates, plus a live streaming concert via NPR that you can hear here. And Sonic Youth is headed to South America and is re-issuing ‘Hits Are For Squares.’

Sure, it was no Sugar reunion, but it was nice to see Bob Mould and The Roots jam through ‘Copper Blue’ stand-out ‘If I Can’t Change Your Mind’ on last night’s ‘Late Night with Jimmy Fallon’ — even if it was only a minute long.

Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore dropped by ‘Late Night with Jimmy Fallon’ last night to play a couple songs off his new solo album ‘Demolished Thoughts.’ Check out ‘Circulation’ and the web-only ‘Blood Never Lies.’

Filmmaker Brad Katz is appealing to music fans to help fund his documentary ‘Just Gimme Indie Rock! The Story of an Underground Uprising,’ a film project he describes as ‘an epic trilogy that spans a generation’ — tracing the rise of the independent label scene in the early ’80s through the alternative explosion of the ’90s and into indie resurgence of the 2000s.

This week’s new releases include a new albums from Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore (‘Demolished Thoughts’), Clan of Xymox (‘Darkest Hour’) and ex-Cocteau Twin member Robin Guthrie (‘Emeralds’), plus a reissue of Einstürzende Neubauten’s ‘Silence is Sexy.’
