The legal version keeps coming on and off streaming services, so I bought the second-hand CD. I still have CDs. This, and the original Trance Nation compilation are the best late 90s dance albums. I bet Romy has the Tranceport and Trance Nation CDs. She has the best music taste. My favourite Boiler Room is Romy’s , but this Radio 1 Essential Mix is just… ## [The Grateful Dead are everywhere](https://newmusicoldmusic.substack.com/p/the-grateful-dead-are-everywhere) _2026-08-07 · Will Hermes · Will Hermes: New Music + Old Music_ With Bob Weir's death in January, summers are now Dead-less.

If you don’t know already, I should have been listening to Phoebe Bridgers as she’s the best thing about the 2020s. The new song is great and has a video that could have been from late 90s MTV. Even better is the live version she did with a backing band of kids. Glorious. Be a leader like Phoebe. The second-best thing about the 2020s is Maggie Rogers.

Among the many things I love about his pictures is that he didn’t try to make his subjects look younger than they were. He just photographed people in the most natural and beautiful way (see his 2017 Pirelli Calendar for example). Greg Williams’ pictures of Gillian Anderson are different, but they still remind me of Lindbergh. ## [Y'all still with me?](https://www.darrenshaw.org/notes/2026/06/21/notes-june.html) _2026-06-21 · Darren Shaw_ Listening To There’s a lot of 2000s music nostalgia in 2026. Maybe if you do something for long enough, you get this good. Eve’s Tiny Desk is flawless. Naming is hard. Ronaldo and Ronaldo being two of the best footballers in recent years means that people generally use R9 for the original Ronaldo. But if you also like pop music, R9 is the Rihanna album everyone is waiting for.
