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.

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.

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.’

It’s Morrissey’s birthday today — he’s 52 — and to celebrate, here’s a full, 20-song ‘Kill Uncle’-era concert filmed at London’s Hammersmith Odeon on Oct. 4, 1991, and later broadcast on Japanese TV — hence the subtitles.

We interrupt our ongoing MBV Watch feature to mark the birthday of Kevin Shields — he’s 48 today — by presenting this full 14-song, 53-minute ‘Isn’t Anything’-era My Bloody Valentine concert filmed at the University of London Union on Feb. 16, 1989.

As the build-up continues toward Depeche Mode’s release of ‘Remixes 2: 81-11’ next month, FACT Magazine today premiered the brand new ‘Master and Servant’ (RSS Mix) — a remix that, unless the tracklist has changed, does not actually appear on the new album.

Einstürzende Neubauten next week will reissue its 2000 album ‘Silence is Sexy’ — an ‘unexpected exploration of silence’ that the group proclaims is ‘the most complex work of the Neubauten’ — before embarking on a short European tour.

The release of ex-Bauhaus leader Peter Murphy’s new solo album ‘Ninth’ is still nearly three weeks away, but the folks at Nettwerk Music have dropped a fourth preview cut from the record: the rocker ‘Memory Go.’
