    California garage rock extraordinaire Ty Segall has announced a new EP titled Mr. Face, which is set for release on Jan. 13 through Famous Class Records (that's the cover artwork up above). Though Mr. Face contains only four tracks, which could easily fit onto one record, the EP will be released as a double seven-inch, and is being billed as "the world's first playable pair of 3D glasses," which you're supposed to hold up to your eyes while you look at the record sleeve (as Segall helpfully demonstrates with this animated GIF over at Pitchfork).

  • 50 Cent Reaches Out To Floyd Mayweather Following Earl Hayes’ Death, Calls Boxer His "Little Brother" Despite Past Beefs

    50 Cent's friendship with Floyd Mayweather goes back more than a decade. Things started going downhill in 2012 after their joint promotions company The Money Team tore them apart - Mayweather backed out of it and left Fiddy with a $2 million loss. They had appeared to have patched things up until this summer when 50 bullied Mayweather on Instagram by challenging him to read a page from Harry Potter without messing it up, and there have been a few back-and-forth comments since then. While Fiddy might not have the best relationship right now with Mayweather, he still reached out to him following the tragic murder-suicide that Mayweather was a reported witness to.

  • Scott Stapp Skipped Mental Health Hearing: Creed Singer Could Be Involuntarily Committed

    Creed's Scott Stapp reportedly skipped a mental health hearing that a court required him to attend. The scheduled appearance was supposed to be a chance for officials to propose Stapp spend some time in a psychiatric treatment facility. The singer made headlines in November after posting multiple videos in which he claimed he was broke and living in his truck.A few days ago, it was reported that Stapp recieved a $1.5 million advance for his last solo effort, 2013's "Proof of Life." He, along with Creed bandmates Mark Tremonti, Brian Marshall and Scott Phillips, reportedly received $3 million in advance of 2009's "Full Circle." Stapp's stories of mysterious sources draining his bank account and not receiving royalties from his record label seem a bit sketchy now.The singer's mental health came into question earlier in November when police in Madison County, Florida, found him on the side of the road looking inebriated and rambling incoherently. He was placed in a 72-hour psych hold, and his wife, Jaclyn, asked that he be put in an additional psych hold after the videos started surfacing. GossipExtra notes that Stapp can be involuntarily committed to a psychiatric facility for having missed his recent court date.The singer appears to be sober in the video messages, but there is no way of telling what his true state of mind is.

  • John Coltrane Documentary Coming from 'The U.S. Vs. John Lennon' Director

    Once you tackle John Lennon and Brian Wilson's lives in documentary films, it is tough to find subjects as interesting or important. But director/writer/producer John Scheinfeld ("The U.S. Vs. John Lennon," "Beautiful Dreamer") has been working on a new project featuring John Coltrane, the legendary saxophonist who died in 1967."He was an artist whose work resonated with fans from all walks of life — the architect Frank Gehry, Clint Eastwood, Bono, Philip Glass, Alicia Keys, Bill Clinton — and that fascinated me. What is it about this music that touches people so deeply?" Scheinfeld said, via "The Hollywood Reporter."The director's goal was not to glorify Coltrane, but to humanize him.

  • Have Chief Keef and Migos Squashed Their Beef?

    It would appear that the year-long beef between Chief Keef's GBE crew and Migos has been put to bed. An Instagram picture posted late last night, Dec. 8, was of him and Migos together and seemingly in good spirits. The duo have been trading jabs online through music and in real life for the better part of a year now, so it is good to see what was becoming an explosive beef is now apparently settled, via radio.com.In addition to the Chief Keef Instagram post, Migos posted the same picture on their Twitter account with the simple caption "Miglo." "Miglo" mashes together "Migos" and "Glory" from GBE, which stands for "Glory Boys Entertainment." This seems pretty definitive that they are putting past differences behind them and trying to move forward.Miglo pic.twitter.com/wn2nn6tifT — MIGOS™ (@MigosATL) December 9, 2014Even more proof of reconciliation comes from GBE member Tadoe, also featured in the other pic, who posted on his Instagram a different picture then that of Chief Keef and Migos. It is in the same place as the previous picture and shows the group members, including Migos later on in the night, still in good spirits and plenty of party supplies on hand.
