Just two new releases on the radar this week: The Sisters of Mercy’s ‘First and Last and Always’ is reissued by Mobile Fidelity on audiophile vinyl, and The Icicle Works’ ‘Blind’ is reissued in a 3CD set by Cherry Red.

Today we mark the 56th birthday of punk legend Mick Jones — leader of the newly reactivated Big Audio Dynamite — with a look back at that other band he was in, with a full 1980 concert by The Clash. Watch it here.

Although they’d hinted they had something special up their sleeves for their debut slot at the venerable Glastonbury festival, U2 instead played what was mostly a truncated and rearranged version of their current 360° Tour set last night. See it here in HD.

Greeting the crowd with ‘Hello Glasto… fancy seeing me here,’ Morrissey took to the main stage at Glastonbury tonight to perform a 16-song set that mixed songs old and brand-new, with a generous heaping of classics from The Smiths thrown in.

No stranger to dropping unexpected covers into his sets, Elvis Costello currently is in the midst of his revived ‘Spinning Songbook’ tour and is treating fans at many of the trek’s stops to a show-stopping blast through Prince’s 1984 epic ‘Purple Rain.’

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.’

U2 finally is set to release its long-expected reissue of 1991’s ‘Achtung Baby’ later this year paired with a re-released edition of the band’s 1993 companion album ‘Zooropa’ in a combined ZOO TV-era box set, Rolling Stone reports.

To preview its upcoming expanded reissue of 1986’s ‘Wonderland,’ Erasure has posted a live video of the duo performing ‘My Heart… So Blue’ from the set’s bonus DVD, which features a previously unreleased concert filmed in Sweden in 1986.

With the film opening Friday, Weezer today debuted a video for its (quite faithful) cover of The Cars’ 1984 hit ‘You Might Think,’ which appears on the soundtrack to the Disney/Pixar soon-to-be-smash ‘Cars 2.’

The latest episode of DirecTV’s performance and Q&A show ‘Guitar Center Sessions’ spotlights West Coast punk survivors Bad Religion — and you can you can preview the installment with video of the band performing ‘Wrong Way Kids’ off last year’s ‘The Dissent of Man’ and the title track to 1992’s ‘Generator.’

Nirvana’s ‘Nevermind’ — the album that closed the door on the college-rock era and shot so-called alternative music straight into the mainstream — will receive a mammoth 4CD/1DVD 20th anniversary reissue featuring unreleased tracks, BBC recordings, B-sides and a full concert on DVD.

This week’s installment of Slicing Up Eyeballs on Strangeways Radio featured new music from Morrissey, a fresh live cut from Echo & The Bunnymen, old faves by INXS, Gene Loves Jezebel and Violent Femmes — plus The Afghan Whigs covering The Clash and The Cure covering Depeche Mode.
