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.

Blondie — anchored by original members Debbie Harry, Chris Stein and Clem Burke — will release their long-in-the-works ninth studio album ‘Panic of Girls’ in the U.K. next month and in the U.S. in September, and are previewing the release with a new video for lead-off single ‘Mother.’

Former Dream Syndicate leader Steve Wynn last week debuted a music video for ‘Colored Lights,’ one of the tracks on the late-2010 album ‘Northern Aggression’ that he recorded with his band The Miracle 3.

Last night, Jane’s Addiction plugged in for a 42-minute set at an afterparty for the Google I/O 2011 developers’ conference in San Francisco — an event that the search giant didn’t just see fit to stream live online, but also post to YouTube.

The surviving members of The Cars — singer/keyboardist Ric Ocasek, guitarist Elliot Easton, drummer David Robinson and keyboardist Greg Hawkes, who also is filling in on bass for the late Benjamin Orr — kicked off their reunion tour in Seattle last night, performing their first concert in 24 years.
