50 Cent Bonds With Boxers, New UNKLE Album To Be Collaboration Heavy, Cat Power Plots Another Covers Album

50 Cent was all over this weekend’s Mayweather/De La Hoya fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Here he is chatting with Mayweather during the post-fight news conference after it was decided that Mayweather defeated De La Hoya. It might be easier to list those artists who are NOT going to be a part of the new UNKLE album. Josh Homme, Ian Astbury, Massive Attack’s 3D, Autolux, Nada Surf’s Matthew Caws, Jeordie White, and the Duke Spirit are among those who will be contributing to War Stories, which comes out July 24th. The Police will descend upon Vancouver this week, whereupon they will start rehearsing etc. for their reunion tour, Billboard reports. The tour ticks off May 28th. “It’s feeling really good,” guitarist Andy Summers said. “It should take a slightly different shape now because in a couple weeks the stage arrives and the lighting and everything and we have to kind of choreograph the show with that. We’ve all been playing for another 20 years, so I think we’re actually much better players than we were even in the Police in the early days.” The new Cat Power album will apparently cover songs by Dylan, Hank Williams, Aretha Franklin, OTis Redding, Kitty Wells, Duke Ellington, and Fairport Convention on her next album. A record composed entirely of new material will follow. [via Stereogum] Kid Rock has a generous streak. After six sets of golf clubs were stolen from a Detroit-area girl’s high school gold team, Rock decided to purchase new custom golf clubs too replace the stolen ones.

LISTEN UP: She’s The Boss

The Late Greats posted a few tracks by Megan Mullally. Yeah, it's the real Megan Mullally, not some lame hipster band with an ironic name. I don't know if that makes it better or worse. When you're done rockin' out to MM, head over to Copy, Right and listen to some Alyssa Milano. I don't know what's going on today either. The darkerradio Blog und Podcast has a couple of tracks by Grinderman, including the song "No Pussy Blues" which I think has to do with his apartment's "no pets" policy. Head on over to Open Your Eyes for some brand new Silverchair. Yeah, they're still around- who knew??? And finally, go to The Culture of Me and download "Popular" by Nada Surf. Especially if you're never last picked or you're a cheerleader chick.
