Reactivated U.K. post-punk greats Wire — who are eying a January release for their as-yet-unnamed 12th album — have announced the launch of their ‘Legal Bootleg Series,’ a download-only concert series that kicks off with choice gigs recorded in 1978, 1988 and 2000.

This week’s new releases include expanded reissues of a-ha’s ‘Hunting High and Low’ and ‘Scoundrel Days,’ plus Wire’s reunion album ‘Send,’ plus the CD edition of Nine Inch Nails mastermind Trent Reznor’s debut as How to Destroy Angels.

New Jersey-based radio station WFMU is once again streaming full sets from the Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona, Spain, today and Saturday, with performance on tap from Wire, Gary Numan, Soft Cell’s Marc Almond and Roddy Frame of Aztec Camera, among others.
