The Frank Zappa compilation ZAPPAtite – Frank Zappa’s Tastiest Tracks is being released on vinyl for the first time.
The record will make its wax debut on July 17. It was previously only available on CD and digital upon its original release in 2016.
The two-LP package is divided into four sections — Appetizers, Entrées, Second Course and Desserts — and is described in a press release as “an inviting entry point into the more rock-oriented side of [Zappa’s] expansive repertoire.”
“This isn’t a greatest hits album, as Frank didn’t really have ‘hits,’ per se, nor is it a ‘best of,’ since it would be impossible to fit so much awesome onto one disc,” Zappa’s son Ahmet Zappa said of the collection back in 2016. “It’s a veritable smorgasbord of musicality for the curious and a buffet of favorites for the fans.”
Miley Cyrus has many pets, including dogs, cats and horses, but she just added a new one to her menagerie. According to Wags and Walks, a nonprofit animal rescue group, Miley adopted a 20-year-old tortoise named Teru from them. “When we heard that @mileycyrus was hoping to adopt a tortoise, we knew we had to help make the connection happen. After a little coordination, the stars aligned, and Teru officially found his forever home with Miley,” the charity wrote on Instagram, sharing photos of Miley feeding her new pet.
Olivia Rodrigo has already released two videos for songs from her upcoming album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, but she’s apparently filmed another one. She was photographed during the shoot standing on a New York City street while surrounded by dancers in pink tutus.
Ariana Grande is releasing her new single, “hate that I made you love me,” on Friday, and so far all we’ve heard from it are some electronic bleeps and bloops. But on Tuesday she shared what seems to be a lyric from the song. She posted a photo of herself and captioned it, “cause i barely tried.”
KATSEYE’s performance at the American Music Awards gave fans a preview of what to expect on their upcoming WILDWORLD TOUR, but it may be hard to get tickets. The trek, which will see the group playing in the U.K., Europe and North America, sold out in just 48 hours. Shows were added in London, New York, LA and Mexico City, but those have also sold out. The tour launches Sept. 1 in Dublin, Ireland.
Bruno Mars is giving fans a look at his current The Romantic tour.
He’s released a live video performance of his single “Risk It All,” which was filmed on tour. Since it’s the first song in his set, the video shows the curtain rising to reveal Bruno standing alone onstage, with a huge sign reading “The Romantic” hanging above him. As he sings the song, a video animation of a stained glass window appears behind him.
After he hits a long note, he says, “Ladies and gentlemen, The Hooligans.” The lights come up and another curtain opens to reveal his band and a full horn section, who join him for a bit. As the song ends, the lights go down again, the curtain closes and Bruno is standing alone onstage once again.
While Bruno didn’t attend Monday’s American Music Awards, he ended up winning three trophies: best male R&B artist, best R&B song for “I Just Might” and best R&B album for The Romantic. The tour continues Wednesday in Toronto, Canada.

(LONGVIEW, Wash.) — A chemical tank ruptured at a facility in Washington state, resulting in multiple critical injuries and an unknown number of fatalities, authorities said.
The “hazardous materials incident” was reported Tuesday morning at the Nippon Dynawave Packaging, a pulp and paper mill in Longview, fire authorities said.
A tank containing white liquor ruptured at approximately 7:15 a.m., according to a joint statement from local authorities and Nippon Dynawave Packaging.
Authorities initially referred to the incident as a chemical explosion and then an implosion, before referring to it as a rupture.
“The incident is stable, but is in the recovery phase,” Longview Fire Battalion Chief Mike Gorsuch said during a press briefing Tuesday, calling it “tragic.”
“Recovery efforts remain underway at the facility,” he said.
The number of fatalities is undetermined at this time, Cowlitz 2 Fire & Rescue Chief Scott Goldstein said during the press briefing.
A number of personnel are missing, Goldstein said, declining to confirm how many.
Nine people at the facility suffered injuries, including chemical burns, and were transported by ambulance to area hospitals, authorities said. The injuries ranged from critical to minor, according to Goldstein.
One firefighter was also injured in the incident and has since been treated and released from a nearby hospital, according to Gorsuch.
Patients with traumatic injuries are being treated at nearby medical facilities, while patients experiencing burns and exposure are being sent to other hospitals around the area, including in Portland, which are considered burn centers, Rick Graves, the spokesperson for Portland Fire and Rescue in Oregon, told ABC News.
PeaceHealth St. John Medical Center in Longview told ABC News it received nine patients from the incident — including one deceased. Six are in fair condition, and two other patients have been transferred, it said.
Legacy Health confirmed to ABC News it is treating patients in the incident, including at the Legacy Oregon Burn Center in Portland, though did not go into further detail.
Information on those killed and injured in the incident is being held pending next-of-kin notifications, authorities said.
The 80,000-gallon tank was about 60% full at the time of the rupture, according to Goldstein. White liquor is a chemical mixture of sodium hydroxide, sodium sulfide and disodium carbonate used in the paper-making process, he said.
The cause of the rupture is unknown at this time, Goldstein said.
“We’re dealing with life safety concerns and incident stabilization at this point,” he said. “That will come in the hours and days to come.”
There is no immediate threat to the public, authorities said.
“The scene remains in the recovery phase as emergency responders continue operations,” the joint statement said. “Responding agencies continue coordinating closely with facility personnel and partner agencies as the investigation and recovery efforts continue.”
Residents were urged to avoid the area amid the active emergency response.
The Nippon facility is located on the Washington-Oregon border near the Columbia River. The kraft pulp and paper mill and liquid packaging plant employs nearly 1,000 people, according to the Washington Department of Ecology.

Queen Latifah was introduced to the world through music, but it’s been years since she released a project. With her upcoming Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction, she says she new music may finally be on the way.
“I’m going to drop some music,” she told People. “You know, I got all this music at home, and I forget y’all haven’t heard it. I need to let somebody else hear it other than my friends.”
Queen’s last project was 2009’s Persona, but she says she feels “so close to” music.
“I do enough things that allow me to get out there and sing or rap or do shows so that people can remember,” she said. “Lest they forget how I got into this game. Let me show you right quick.”
“I keep it in my back pocket at all times,” she told People. “But yeah, I guess it has been a minute, so probably will drop some new music this year.”
“It’s time,” she added. “Get ready for the many genres that it will come out in.”
Queen will be inducted into the Rock & Roll of Hame on Nov. 14 alongside fellow honorees like the late Luther Vandross, MC Lyte, Celia Cruz and Sade.
“It’s really almost odd to be inducted with people who are such influences and such heroes in my mind, but such a huge, huge honor to be in anything that’s a class with them,” she told People.
The RRHOF ceremony will be available to watch in December on ABC and Disney+.
Ella Langley’s lock on the Billboardcharts continues, as the hitmaker occupies the top three spots on the Hot Country Songs chart. Not only that, she’s done it for an entire month.
For the fourth week, “Choosin’ Texas” is at #1, followed by its follow-up radio single, “Be Her,” at #2 and Ella’s duet with Morgan Wallen, “I Can’t Love You Anymore,” at #3.
The only time that’s ever been done before is in 2024, when Beyoncé reigned in the top three spots for a single week with tracks from Cowboy Carter.
Meanwhile, Drake takes over the top spot on the all-genre Hot 100 with “Janice STFU,” interrupting Ella’s 10-week nonconsecutive run, at least for now.

(COLUMBIA, S.C.) — The South Carolina Senate on Tuesday effectively killed a proposed congressional map that could have allowed Republicans to flip the seat held by Democratic Rep. Jim Clyburn, a major rebuff to a mid-decade redistricting effort promoted by President Donald Trump.
