The Grateful Dead are infusing their rock n’ roll aesthetic with the preppy style of Rowing Blazers for a second time. The newest Grateful Dead x Rowing Blazers collection was released on Thursday (July 18) and embraces an elevated sportswear look including pieces modeled after the tenniscore trend, which has only continued to explode in the fashion scene — especially since the release of Challengers.
Available on RowingBlazers.com, the exclusive collection lets Deadheads trade the vintage band T-shirt look for a more sophisticated range of apparel, including rugby long sleeves and tennis polos. While new pieces are available to shop, apparel from the first collaboration the two dropped together have also been restocked, giving fans another opportunity to stock up on the limited-edition Grateful Dead merch.

This rugby shirt is begging to steal the show with its vibrant tie-dye pattern complete with a Grateful Dead patch on the top corner. To really dress the look up, it comes with a white contrasting collar, quarter button-up style and cuffed sleeves.
Fans of a T-shirt can still pick up the style in this sailing-themed graphic top featuring the rock band’s colors and well-known white lightning bolt. The material is made from 100% cotton that’s soft and lightweight, so you can wear it all day without counting down the seconds until you can change out of it.
Dress up your merch with this tennis polo, which comes in a lightweight, airy material you’ll be tempted to never take off. For added style, the top corner features an embroidered Dancing Bear holding on to a tennis racket to show off its more sporty side.
Keep your head protected in style with this dad-inspired hat featuring the classic Grateful Dead Dancing Bears. The base comes in a clean-cut white with a green bear embroidered on the front to let everyone know just how much of a Deadhead you are.
Cozy up in this chic crewneck sweater with the Grateful Dead’s eye-catching skull logo on the front of the pullover. It’s made from 100% cotton that’ll help swaddle you in comfort and should be dry-cleaned only, according to the brand’s official description. Sizes are currently available for pre-order with an expected shipping date of on or before August 4.
While the sportswear brand puts an emphasis on creating looks that can be shown off on the tennis court and country club, it does so with an eclectic, colorful vibe similar to the iconic Dancing Bears that the “Touch of Grey” band is known for. Styles and sizes are already selling out, which means you’ll want to act fast if you plan on giving your band apparel a nice update.
Outside of growing their collaborations, the Grateful Dead have come together as Dead & Company to perform a mesmerizing residency at Las Vegas’ The Sphere, which you can still get tickets to.

Triple J, Triple M Forced Off Air Through 'Bluescreen' IT Chaos
Yesterday afternoon (19 July) at around 3 pm AEST, the world came to a grinding halt as a major Microsoft outage took airlines, supermarkets, 911 in the US, radio stations, and other businesses offline.
Some of those affected included Sydney Airport Domestic Terminals, triple j, and Triple M. All their computer screens—including the screens meant to tell you your flight details at airports—came up with the “Blue Screen of Death” showing messages of “Recovery mode” or “your computer ran into an issue and needs to restart.”
ABC reports that the major IT outage went global, affecting Microsoft users and those using Crowdstrike, a third-party cybersecurity firm. According to a report in The Guardian, Crowdstrike posted support updates and attributed the issue to “content deployment” changes that have since been reversed.
Crikey’s Cameron Wilson and the Downdetector website discovered that Foxtel, Telstra, Nine, Network 10, Netflix, Gmail, NAB, Commonwealth Bank, ANZ, Westpac, and Suncorp went down yesterday afternoon, with “hundreds” of other services affected, Mumbrella reports.
In an Instagram post, triple j called out for DJs on social media after their playout systems were rendered inoperable. However, the radio station used the crisis to get local Sydney artists in to spin tunes until midnight. DJs including Mowgli May, Dyan Tai, electronica duo Hellcat Speedracer, MOSS, and Tam kept the tunes spinning on triple j last night.
ARN’s stations were also down and forced to broadcast from the station’s emergency loop tape as techs scrambled to get back on the air. Other stations were impacted by playout and scheduling software through to ad carting, with 2GB forced to get through three hours with no carts or ads, relying only on phone-in callers.
“Turns out it’s not just us – half the world isn’t working right now,” reads a post from The Night Shift on Triple M. Sharing an image of a computer still using Windows XP and a Word document, the message on the document read: “If you’re wondering why you can’t listen to us, Microsoft has gone down all over the world and none of our stuff is working!
“We promise we’re trying to get it fixed and we’ll be back on the airwaves ASAP!”
In a statement, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese confirmed that a “National Coordination Mechanism” had been implemented and said (per B & T), “I understand Australians are concerned about the outage that is unfolding globally and affecting a wide range of services.
“My Government is working closely with the National Cyber Security Coordinator. There is no impact to critical infrastructure, government services or Triple-0 services at this stage.”

Exclusive! High Moon Records boss George Wallace on a tantalising new collection of unreleased Love songs
GEORGE WALLACE: “This unprecedented collection of Arthur Lee/Love recordings were made during the last 15 years of his life – from 1990 until Arthur’s final studio recording, in the summer of 2005. In a Memphis hospital in 2006, after a long battle against leukaemia, Arthur gave his wife, Diane, two CDs he’d compiled and asked her if she would oversee the release of the songs after he was gone. Arthur Lee Is Love Just To Remind You is comprised of the songs that Arthur put on the CDs.
“Sourced from Arthur’s trove of tapes, the music covers his wide-ranging taste and adeptness, from Forever Changes-style, haunting strings and brass-adorned productions, to Arthur at the piano, playing Ray Charles-inspired licks and singing with glorious, soulful abandon.

“Baby Lemonade, who Arthur anointed as his ‘new Love’ in 1993, contribute their stellar musicianship to half of the album’s tracks. Earlier this year, in March, we booked the current band, led by Johnny Echols, into LA’s Sunset Sound, Studio A – the very same studio where Love recorded their first three albums – to record a final instrumental track for one of the songs on the CDs that Arthur gave to Diane. Joe Blocker, who played drums with Love in the mid-’70s, and was a lifelong friend of Arthur’s, was brought in to produce this unconventional session. The band was recording live to an Arthur vocal track (recorded the year before they joined up with him) and a lovely orchestral arrangement created by David Angel, who arranged and orchestrated Forever Changes. The session marked the 60th anniversary of Arthur and Johnny’s first studio collaboration: Arthur Lee and The L.A.G’s single, ‘The Ninth Wave’ b/w ‘Rumble-Still-Skins’, on Capitol Records.”

Jeffrey Foucault Releases New Track ‘Solo Modelo’
Jeffrey Foucault will release The Universal Fire on September 6 via Fluff and Gravy Records. A series of high-voltage performances captured live in one room, the album is a kind of working wake – Foucault lost his best friend and drummer, Billy Conway, to cancer in 2021 – as well as a meditation on the nature of beauty, artifact, and loss.
Foucault shared the title track to announce the impeccable album last month and now releases ‘Solo Modelo’, referencing the lone beer he would have after losing the friend he always shared it with.
“For most of a decade I spent a hundred nights a year on the road with Billy Conway,” reflects Foucault. “When we were out as a duo he played a suitcase drum kit: snare drum with a Remo conga head, a ride cymbal, a low-boy (sock cymbal) from the 1930s, and an empty suitcase that carried all these things and served as the kick drum. // Continue to the full article
