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

"Odelay (Deluxe Edition)" by Beck

Hardcore Beck fans probably already have the "new" material presented on this deluxe Odelay reissue. But for those of us who aren't obsessive enough to get every b-side, this compilation sheds new light on what Mr. Hansen was up to while recording his seminal alt-rock album. Not surprisingly, the first disc contains the original album played straight through, with two new cuts, "Inferno" and "Gold Chains," tacked on the end. "Inferno" starts off like a Beastie Boys hip-hop tune—lots of record scratching and the rhyming style that Beck perfected on Odelay—but half-way through it abruptly shifts into several miniature instrumental suites, involving acoustic guitars, sitars and pedal effects, that sound almost like an outtake from the Sgt.

"War Stories" by UNKLE

Despite his role as the driving force behind electronica studio act UNKLE, James Lavelle's collaborators have often overshadowed him in the past. Both on the debut, Psyence Fiction, co-helmed by DJ Shadow, and the follow-up Never, Never, Land, the Mo'Wax label head/producer recruited an impressive guest list, including Thom Yorke of Radiohead, Mike D of the Beastie Boys and Jarvis Cocker, which gave the impression that the magic found within might have been the result of the notable roster. For his third record, War Stories, Lavelle enlists an equally formidable list of cohorts, such as Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age, Ian Astbury of The Cult and the British post-punk band The Duke Spirit. Nevertheless, Lavelle makes this cohesive album very much his own, never allowing collaborator in particular to dominate. What distinguishes War Stories, though, is its near-perfect amalgamation of electronica and rock. "Restless,"
