Parker McCollum‘s self-titled new album has been out for almost a week. But chances are that even if you’ve been streaming it, you’re missing a track or two.
That’s because Parker decided not to include the fan favorite “Big Ole Fancy House” on his fifth studio album, something that led to him being “absolutely eviscerated on the internet,” he says in a post on his socials.
The Texan has come up with a solution, though, recording “a very special acoustic version” of “Big Ole Fancy House” to appease his fans. The only way to get it, however, is to download the record from Parker’s official site.
It turns out there’s another extra track, as well: The reprise of “Sunny Days” appears only on the vinyl version of the album.
Aussie group Air Supply is the latest band to be chosen to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The group is among the 2026 honorees in the Recordings category, along with Miley Cyrus, The Clark Sisters, Josh Groban, Lyle Lovett and others.
Any artists can be nominated for a star on the Walk of Fame. According to the Walk of Fame’s website, criteria for receiving a star includes “professional achievement, longevity in the category of five years or more, contributions to the community and the guarantee that the celebrity will attend the dedication ceremony if selected.”
Air Supply, made up of Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock, formed in Melbourne in 1975. They scored eight top-five hits in the U.S. in the ’70s and ’80s: “Lost in Love,” “All Out of Love,” “The One That You Love,” “Every Woman in the World,” “Here I Am,” “Even the Nights Are Better,” “Sweet Dreams” and “Making Love Out of Nothing at All.”
Liam Gallagher has shared his reaction to a Green Day fan trolling Billie Joe Armstrong by playing Oasis‘ “Wonderwall” after being invited onstage for a rendition of “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life).” So the question is: did Liam have the time of his life watching it?
It certainly appears so, or at least more than he would listening to an actual Green Day song.
In response to a video of the “Wonderwall” moment posted on social media, Liam writes, “Best song of the night.”
Fan-shot footage of the Green Day show, which took place Monday in Luxembourg, shows Armstrong inviting the fan onstage under the impression that they know how to play “Good Riddance.” After a verse, the fan turns to Armstrong and says they don’t know what comes next. They then start to strum the chords to “Wonderwall,” which led Armstrong to take his guitar back from the fan, who was promptly ushered off stage.
“Nice try,” Armstrong said.
We’ll see if Oasis will be playing “Wonderwall” themselves when their much-anticipated reunion tour launches in the U.K. Friday. The trek will come to the U.S. in August.

A newly remastered extended version of the Prince track “America” is about to get its first-ever digital release.
“America” was the fourth single off Prince’s 1985 album Around the World in a Day, which was a #1 hit for the late R&B star. The artist previously described the tune as a “straightforwardly patriotic” track.
And folks are getting a lot of music with the extended 12-inch version of the song, as it clocks in at 21 minutes and 51 seconds. The record and single versions were much shorter, with a press release noting they were edited from an original performance that was “only cut short as the tape ran out.”
“America (12″ Version)” will hit digital services Friday at 12 a.m. local time.
In celebration of the release, the Prince Museum at Paisley Park is launching an exhibit spotlighting the song, which will run from Friday to Thursday, July 10. There will also be an “America” T-shirt with artwork inspired by the song at the Official Prince Store.

As the United States of America gears up to celebrate its birthday, so does the debut Foo Fighters album.
The self-titled record was released on July 4, 1995 — 30 years ago Friday.
Coming off the death of Kurt Cobain and the dissolution of Nirvana in 1994, drummer Dave Grohl entered the studio and started working on possible solo material. While he was recording, Tom Petty recruited Grohl to play drums with The Heartbreakers during their performance on Saturday Night Live, and even offered him the full-time gig. However, Grohl, who was still mourning Cobain and the end of Nirvana, decided instead to focus on his own project.
That project became the album Foo Fighters, which Grohl recorded entirely on his own, save for a guitar solo by Greg Dulli of The Afghan Whigs. Once Foo Fighters was finished, Grohl recruited a full band, consisting of Nirvana touring guitarist Pat Smear, and bassist Nate Mendel and drummer William Goldsmith of Sunny Day Real Estate.
With the singles “This Is a Call,”“I’ll Stick Around” and “Big Me,”Foo Fighters proved Grohl was equally adept at being a frontman as he was manning the kit. That anyone at one point thought otherwise now seems absurd, as Foo Fighters and Grohl especially have continued to be the face of modern rock three decades later.
Smear and Mendel remain in the Foos alongside Grohl, while Goldsmith was replaced by drummer Taylor Hawkins. Guitarist Chris Shiflett joined in 1999, and keyboardist Rami Jaffee started touring with the group in 2005. That lineup remained the same until Hawkins died in 2022 and was replaced by Josh Freese, who was fired from the Foos in May.
Foo Fighters marked their debut’s anniversary Wednesday with a new single called “Today’s Song.”
