Music news music news: Another eighties band is back in view: The Psychedelic Furs are back and on tour. And they’re planning for their hits to sound just like you remember ’em because lead singer, Richard Butler, says “I really dislike it when bands get back together, and they rearrange the material so much that you can’t even recognize it.” I like it when bands put a different twist on well-known pieces at live shows, but, yeah, completely distorting a hit is not the way to get your fans up and dancing. Joe Jackson is at The Fillmore Monday night (that claims to be a special acoustic show) and The Warfield on Tuesday night. Dogstar, featuring Keanu Reeves is still, as far as the billboard on Lawrence Expwy knows, scheduled to play at The BackBeat on April 15. And via Yahoo’s Weekly Picks, Wayne Studer, Ph.D. has written a Pet Shop Boys Song-by-Song Commentary. Find out the meanings behind songs you’ve never even heard (unless you’re a super-fan like he is, of course).
