As GTA: San Andreas edges closer, the gang at Rockstar preview the ten in-game radio stations to be had this time around, and as expected the selections seem as deep and diverse as they were on Vice City. More info will be out Monday, but the artists featured so far (along with G’n’R and A Guy Called Gerald, which we already knew about) include James Brown (“Payback”), Slick Rick (“Children’s Story), Bel Biv Devoe (“Poison”), Rage Against the Machine (“Killing in the Name”), The Ohio Players (“Funky Worm”), Eddie Money (“Two Tickets to Paradise”), Max Romeo (“Chase the Devil”), Willie Nelson (“Crazy”), 2Pac (“I Don’t Give a F**k”), and Raze (“Break For Love”). Good driving music, that. Update: Rockstar reveals the official soundtrack listing, which includes a lot of the songs above, and extends many of the radio station previews to include tracks by Heart, Cypress Hill, Eric B & Rakim, and others.

The tracklisting for Counterfeit 2, Depeche Mode songwriter Martin Gore‘s second solo cover album, has now been released (07.02.03 story.) Longtime DM fans will know that the original Counterfeit EP, following up soon after 1989’s Music for the Masses, was a very worthy pickup. This one, due out April 28, includes more well-known tunes than the first, including songs by Brian Eno (“By this River”), John Lennon (“Oh My Love”), Willie Nelson (“Stardust”), and the Velvet Underground (“Candy Says”). DM frontman David Gahan also has a solo album coming out later in the year, which should be…interesting, I guess.
