For this week’s “120 Minutes” Rewind, we revisit the show’s “120 X-Ray” segment, a short spotlight on a given band — in this case, a Kevin Seal-hosted piece on Siouxsie and the Banshees that aired in 1988 following the release of the band’s Peepshow album.

Slicing Up Eyeballs is going on vacation, taking Mrs. Eyeballs on a 10th anniversary trip to an exotic foreign land. While we won’t be abandoning our vigil entirely, the next week will see only sporadic posting, with regular features mixed with periodic news round-ups.

Midge Ure today announced a rare North American solo tour that’s set to take place this coming January — featuring, “so far,” 12 dates confirmed across the U.S. and a single Canadian concert —that he says “is to pave the way for the possibility of bringing Ultravox over later in the year.”

Blondie performed a 45-minute concert in New York City today that was webcast as part of the YouTube Presents series — and the video is still up at YouTube, so feel free to relieve the experience right here. As an added bonus, the band released three brand-new studio tracks that are free for the downloading (or streaming).

The Stone Roses reunion will roll into 2013 as the band this week confirmed it will join the five-date, traveling Future Music Festival in Australia next March, performing concerts in Brisbane, Perth, Sydney and Melbourne along with The Prodigy, Dizzee Rascal, Bloc Party and, uh, that “Gangnam Style” guy.

Morrissey continued his American media tour Tuesday night, following up last week’s appearance on “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon” with a highly entertaining visit to “The Colbert Report,” during which Moz withstood ribbing from Stephen Colbert on topics such as the British monarchy, vegetarianism and, of course, The Smiths.

Tonight’s Slicing Up Eyeballs Music Hour on Strangeways Radio featured music by Gang of Four, The Ocean Blue, Guadalcanal Diary, The Pogues, Love Tractor, The Smithereens, INXS, The Cure, Morrissey, Close Lobsters and more. Full replay at 2 p.m. EDT on Friday.

Dinosaur Jr will follow up its just-released studio album I Bet On Sky with a limited-edition live album recorded in 1987 and released as a vinyl-and-download combo, according to listings at online retailers. The Chocomel Daze LP will be released Nov. 19 by Merge Records on 150-gram vinyl and limited to 2,000 copies.

The Ocean Blue — best remembered for its Echo & The Bunnymen-like debut single “Between Something and Nothing” — will release their first new album in 13 years this January on a new record label started by the band’s David Schelzel and some friends, the group announced today.

With New Order’s first U.S. tour in seven years underway comes news the band finally will release the ‘Lost Sirens’ album — a collection of outtakes from 2005’s ‘Waiting for the Sirens’ Call’ delayed for nearly a year by apparent legal wrangling with Peter Hook — and that the band may tour both North and South America in 2013.

Killing Joke this weekend announced plans to release two albums in 2013 and perform “a very small run of headline shows” to coincide with the first release — expected some time in March or April — including “limited U.S. tour dates,” according to a short note posted on the band’s Facebook page.

This week’s new release include the CD debut of “Athens, GA – Inside/Out,” paired with a DVD, plus Clan of Xymox’s cover album “Kindred Spirits,” featuring their take on The Cure, Depeche Mode and more, as well as three Kirsty MacColl reissues and an audiophile vinyl pressing of R.E.M.’s ‘Document.’

Peter Gabriel’s currently in the midst of his Back to Front Tour, which finds him performing 1986’s ‘So’ in its entirety each night during the North American trek. But on Saturday night, fans got an extra dose of nostalgia, as John Cusack — yes, Lloyd Dobler himself — came on stage to present Gabriel with a boombox.
