  1. https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/1-dead-after-shooting-involving-austin-police-officers-no-officers-injured/ According to Reddit this happened in the Thundercloud Subs at Slaughter and Manchaca. I mean Menchaca.
  2. Here’s a longer live video I found on YT of Trump and Putin getting off their planes, posing for pics and leaving in the Beast with before and after footage. Action starts around the 9:00 mark when Putin steps off his plane. And for those who haven’t seen the post meeting press conference, here it is.
  3. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/vp-vance-meeting-discuss-epstein-fallout-canceled-source-says-2025-08-06/ WASHINGTON, Aug 6 (Reuters) - A dinner for senior administration officials at Vice President JD Vance's residence to discuss topics including the Trump administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case has been canceled after news of it leaked, a source familiar with the matter said. A spokesman for Vance said the dinner, first reported by CNN, had not been planned. "There was never a supposed meeting scheduled at the Vice President's residence to discuss Epstein strategy," said Vance spokesman William Martin.
  4. https://www.titosvodka.com/global-research Somebody want to let aggy know that Tito’s has given $1.4M to A&M for research on phage technology and another $500K to fund an endowed professorship in regenerative agriculture?
  5. “He stole people that worked for me.”
  6. Here’s an interview with Virginia Giuffre from five years ago. She claims that Maxwell was the mastermind pulling the strings. Also says that there were cameras recording everything at Epstein’s homes.
  7. That’s a young Julian Casablancas of The Strokes standing behind Trump. I believe this photo was taken at the 1991 Elite Look of the Year competition. He would be 12 or 13 in this photo. I bet he saw some wild shit growing up being the son of John Casablancas.
  8. The video is real. It was recorded by Trump superfan Blake Marnell aka Brick Suit.
  9. Here are the original pics that were discussed up thread. These pics were taken at the Elite modeling agency’s 1991 Look of the Year competition. The Guardian article below is from 2020. It gives good insight into Trump’s relationship with John Casablanca, the head of Elite, and Trump’s involvement with Look of the Year which lead to his purchase of the Miss Universe and USA pageants. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/mar/14/teen-models-powerful-men-when-donald-trump-hosted-look-of-the-year
  10. This pic is totally badass. So badass that I almost didn’t notice the superfluous pickguard screws.
  11. Taking my son to Houston to see them on the 14th. He just turned 16. This will be his first big metal show and it’ll be my first time to see Metallica too. He’s so pumped.
  12. Just got to Far Out Lounge for Psych Fest. Yo La Tengo and Dinosaur Jr playing tonight. I ended up having an extra ticket. If anyone wants it for free, DM me and I’ll send it to you.
  13. Just ran across this on Reddit. Someone earlier today posted a bunch of previously unseen VH videos from 78-84. A mix of live clips and backstage footage. Speculation out there is that the videos came from Noel Monk’s personal archives. These might get taken down from YT soon. You can see all the videos on this guy’s page: https://youtube.com/@jamestvega?feature=shared Here are a few videos to get you started… ^^^ Check out Eddie warming up backstage at the 4:26 mark. ^^^ with Ozzy and Sabbath
  14. If he’s here, he probably posts in the guitar thread. That’s Willie Pipkin, guitarist from the South Austin Jug Band and the Little Elmore Reed Band. According to discogs, he also played guitar on a couple tracks on the last Charley Crockett record.
  15. If you can get a shot of the back of the headstock, that might offer some clues as to the age. Those look like Waverly tuners. If they were made before 1948 the tuner plates should be plain. If they were made after 1948, they should have diagonal hash marks stamped on the tuner plates.
  16. Here’s an AP article on the overnight firings: https://apnews.com/article/trump-inspectors-general-fired-congress-unlawful-4e8bc57e132c3f9a7f1c2a3754359993 And here’s a CRS piece that discusses the 2022 amendments to the Inspector General Act that increased removal protections for IGs: https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/IN/IN12363/2
  17. I’m feeling this. We should all buy walnut hollowbody Gibsons.
  18. I ran that rig in a couple different wiring configurations at different times, but it was both. I had some pedals that went only to the Vox and others that went only into the Marshall. On some songs I’d play through just one amp on the verse or quieter parts, and then hit the A/B box to turn on the second amp with a distortion or overdrive pedal on a crunchy chorus or other louder parts. But one of my favorite sounds was when I would use a Dunlop TS-1 tremolo pedal that would pan the tremolo in stereo out to the amps. It was like sound in 3-D. You could actually feel the tremolo pulse hitting you from different sides.
