Squeeze has shared another track from their upcoming album, Trixies, which features some of the first songs the band’s Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook ever wrote together.
After previously releasing the first song, “Trixies Pt. 1,” they have now released “Trixies Pt. 2” to digital outlets.
The songs on Trixies, Squeeze’s first album in eight years, are described as a “collection of stories set in a fictional night club, Trixies.” They were written by the duo back in 1974 when recording was beyond their skill set.
“The songs that we wrote then astound me. I’m proud of them now, and I’m particularly proud that it was young us that did that,” Tilbrook said when the album was first announced. “The act of revisiting the Trixies songs had me in tears, partly because they’re so good, but also because I’m aware of all the stuff that I’ve still yet to hear and write.”
Difford added, “It really fills me with joy that at my age we can discover that we wrote such great songs when we were teenagers. I’m very proud of that.”

Hulu released the first teaser for Malcom in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair on Friday. The revival will consist of four episodes that will arrive to Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ in 2026.
The new teaser pays homage to the original series’ pilot episode, which found Bryan Cranston‘s Hal getting his back shaved by Jane Kaczmarek’s Lois. We see someone’s back getting shaved, and then the hair forms the show’s logo.
“Some things never change,” the Instagram caption of the teaser reads. “#MalcolmInTheMiddle Life’s Still Unfair, a special four-part event, streams 2026.”

Also starring in the revival are Chris Kennedy Masterson as Francis, Justin Berfield as Reese and EmyColigado as Piama.

The family of 18-year-old Anna Kepner, who was reported dead while aboard the Carnival Horizon cruise ship on Saturday, says they will remember her as a happy, bubbly, straight-A student with a bright future ahead. (Kepner family)
(BREVARD COUNTY, Fla.) — Weeks after 18-year-old Anna Kepner mysteriously died on a cruise ship and her stepbrother was named a “suspect” by his parents in a court filing, the stepbrother’s mom appeared at a hearing, fighting to retain custody of her younger child.
Kepner died on the Carnival Horizon in November while on a Caribbean vacation with her grandparents, father, stepmother, siblings and stepsiblings.
A copy of the death certificate provided to ABC News by Kepner’s family showed the Florida high school cheerleader “was mechanically asphyxiated by other person(s).” An autopsy report has not been released and authorities have not announced whether they believe Kepner’s death was in fact a homicide.
The FBI and medical examiner’s office haven’t commented on the case.
The stepbrother’s parents, Thomas Hudson and Shauntel Hudson, are fighting over custody, and have in court documents referred to the stepbrother — who is a minor — as a suspect in Kepner’s death.
At a hearing in Brevard County, Florida, on Friday, the judge didn’t find that the Hudsons’ youngest child is in imminent danger of harm by continuing to live with Shauntel Hudson and her husband, Chris Kepner, who is Anna Kepner’s father.
The “suspect” stepbrother has been living with Shauntel Hudson’s relatives since the family returned from the cruise.
Shauntel Hudson’s attorney said she didn’t know how long he would remain with relatives, given that the family isn’t sure what the outcome will be of the FBI’s investigation into Anna Kepner’s death. Shauntel Hudson said she’s been informed it’s possible investigators could charge her son with a crime as officials await results from toxicology tests.
Her attorney also informed the court they’re waiting on “psychological and psychiatric testing.”

Michael Bublé has duetted with quite a few country stars over the years, likeShania Twain, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton and Carly Pearce. But now he’s diving headfirst into the genre with a new country album.
Michael appeared on the latest episode of the Not Gonna Lie podcast, hosted by Kylie Kelce — Taylor Swift‘s future sister-in-law. He revealed, “I love country music, and I have loved country music my whole life. … I went to Nashville. I have a producer named Dan Huff … and I have made a love letter to country music. And it’s old school. It’s not, like, modern. It’s my interpretation.”
“I have never had an experience that has been better musically,” he raved. “I’m so excited to put out this record. I don’t know if 10 people are going to love it, but I don’t care because I feel like I earned the right to make a beautiful record.”
Michael listed some of his country bona fides, like those duets with Willie and Dolly; the fact that he’s recorded songs by Kris Kristofferson and Hank Williams; his friendship with Blake Shelton, who scored a huge country hit with Michael’s song “Home“; and the fact that the first song he ever recorded was one by Patsy Cline.
Michael said he has no idea when the record will come out because it isn’t finished yet.
Carly told ABC Audio in 2024, after she recorded a Christmas duet with Michael, that he was a true country fan. “I feel like a lot of people just come in [to country] because they’re like, ‘Country’s easy … put a banjo on it. It’s fine.’ And I take great offense to that,” she said. By contrast, she insisted that Michael “absolutely understands what the genre is [and] what these songs mean.”
Garbage’s Shirley Manson on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ (Disney/Randy Holmes)
Whatever the opposite of a “#1 Crush” is, that’s what Garbage‘s Shirley Manson has on fans who bring beach balls to concerts.
Manson came across one such fan during Garbage’s current tour of Australia and, as seen in footage posted to the band’s Instagram Story, decided to share how she really felt.
“Guy with your big f****** beach ball, ooh, I’m so scared of you, so thrilled by you,” Manson mocked. “What a f****** d****bag.”
Manson then expanded upon her anti-beach ball opinions in a post to Threads.
“I make NO APOLOGIES whatsoever for getting annoyed at beachballs at shows,” Manson writes. “I joined a band because I HATED THE F****** BEACH. I joined a band because I wanted to listen to Siouxsie and the Banshees and The Cure and be dark and beautiful.”
“Continue listening to Spotify and toss your stupid beach balls around like you are ten years old,” Manson adds. “I love the musical community and I want to respect their artistry. I am so tired of folks taking music for free and treating us all like circus performers.”
Perhaps Manson’s distaste for beach balls shouldn’t be too surprising; after all, one of Garbage’s biggest hits is called “Only Happy When It Rains.”
Garbage released a new album, Let All That We Imagine Be the Light, in May. They wrapped up a U.S. tour in support of the record in November, which they said would mark their “last North American headline tour.”

(KERRVILLE, Texas) — Hundreds of 911 calls during the July 4 Texas flood that devastated the Hill Country have been released from hard-hit Kerr County.
The Kerrville Police Department released the calls late Thursday following Freedom of Information Act requests from eight media outlets.
“We want to caution the public that what you will hear on these calls is distressing. Some callers did not survive,” Kerrville Police Chief Chris McCall said in a video message on Thursday ahead of the release.
ABC News is currently reviewing the 911 calls.
The first call related to flooding in western Kerr County came in to the police department’s 911 center at 2:52 a.m. on July 4, according to McCall.
Over the next six hours, the center, which receives all 911 calls for Kerr County, answered 435 calls, he said.
Two people were working at the time, the police chief said while commending the operators for their handling of “extraordinary call volumes.”
“I’m immensely proud of our telecommunications operators,” he said. “These public safety team members showed incredible perseverance as they faced high call volumes and did their best to provide assistance and comfort to every caller.”
Some calls were transferred to neighboring dispatch centers based on the protocols regarding high volume, he said. Once they obtained critical information from callers, the operators “were faced with the difficult decision to disconnect and move on to the next call,” McCall said.
The 911 calls are being released in their entirety, without redaction.
“The recordings contain disturbing content, which our community, employees, and family and friends of loved ones lost may find highly distressing,” the police department said in a statement. “Listener and audience discretion is advised.”
Over 130 people were killed in flash flooding across the Hill Country region, including at least 117 in Kerr County, officials said. At Camp Mystic, a Christian all-girls sleepaway camp located along the Guadalupe River in Kerr County, 28 people — including 25 campers, two counselors and the camp’s director — died as rapidly rising floodwaters inundated the camp.
Thursday’s release follows the release of 911 from other counties in the Hill Country, including Gillespie and Kendall counties.

Coco Jones received a 2026 Grammy nomination in November for her debut album, Why Not More? It’s her eighth Recording Academy nod to date, all of which she worked for but never quite expected.
“I don’t expect these things — but I do, but I don’t,” she told will.i.am during a conversation for Uproxx. “Because you’re working towards a goal. I’m not working like, ‘Hope nobody hears this! Period!’ I’m working towards goals. But I also know I can’t control anything but me. So it’s like, yes, and no.”
“I’m not going to sit here like, ‘I knew that, I knew that, I knew that,'” she continued. “If I could tell the future, I’d be a bajillionaire!”
Coco shares that she puts in the “work like I want to receive those awards” and is relieved when she gets recognized.
“If things get nominated, if they get recognized, if they get love — even from my fans — I’m like ‘whew!’ Because that was hard as hell,” she says. “In general, I hold everything to a really high standard, and I hope that people agree that it’s high quality stuff.”
Why Not More? wasreleased in April with appearances from YG Marley, London on da Track and Future. She tells will.i.am that Jazmine Sullivan and PartyNextDoor are among her desired collaborations.
“I love Jazmine Sullivan, and I feel like we would do something soulful and sickening together. I also love PartyNextDoor,” she said. “I love modern R&B, that’s super chill and super laid-back and cool as hell. Because I feel like I’m not ‘cool as hell,’ I’m just ‘real as hell.’ I think that’s my vibe, but I want to do something ‘cool as hell.’ Mysterious.”
Coco’s Uproxx Visionary performance of “Thang 4 U” is now on YouTube.
The Beatles are back on the Billboard charts thanks to Anthology 4, the new addition to the band’s Anthology series, which was recently reissued.
Anthology 4 features 36 tracks, including 13 previously unreleased demos, session recordings and more. It debuted in the top 10 on five Billboard charts, including both the Top Albums Sales and Top Current Album Sales charts, where it landed at #9.
The album is also at #7 on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart, #6 on the Top Rock Albums chart and #3 on the Indie Store Album Sales chart.
Anthology 4 was released as a standalone and was also part of the larger The Anthology Collection box set, with both debuting at #48 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart. The Collection includes the first three Anthology releases, which originally came out in the ’90s, and hit #1 on the Billboard 200 and the Top Album Sales chart.
The release of The Anthology Collection coincided with the Disney+ debut of the newly restored and remastered version of the Anthology documentary series, which aired on ABC in 1995. The new version was expanded from eight to nine episodes. A 25th anniversary edition of The Beatles Anthology book was also released in October.
