Ah contrare moufrare
That Outlaw is plenty good enough to drive the 704's. However, in the future, I shall upgrade to a seperate, and that Outlaw RR2150 has the capabilty of playing the part as solely a preamp or amp on its own. There is an Outlaw Amp that is said to go beautifully together with it. So....

saw the Smashing Pumpkins at the Mohegan Sun Arena on Sunday night. this is a big ass arena and we had 10th row floor seats! my best friend's dad got the tickets for free from his bank because he's some sort of gambling addicted high roller. oh well, totally worked out for us. seeing as how the only originals are jimmy and billy, i thought that the new band would suck but I was VERY WRONG. they rocked outrageously hard and played for a full three hours (including an encore of "set the controls for the heart of the sun" and "tonight, tonight" with the full studio orchestra!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) many of the songs just went off into psychedelic jams that were just outstanding to hear from a band that is not exactly famous for its improv. i sort of realized that most of their studio work is actually just billy and jimmy anway, so that's probably why they still tore it up. billy's voice was right on the money... this was definitely the best show i've ever seen. it was like a dream come true, i've wanted to see these guys since like age 5 and i had given up on the idea! if you can catch them on this tour or at any other event, DO IT!
edit: bonus = two very hot women in the band now playing bass and keys, respectively.

I love how the article portrays anonymous people on the net as uncaring devils.
A Florida teenager who used a webcam to live-stream his suicide Wednesday was reportedly encouraged by other people on the Web site, authorities told
Abraham Biggs alleged suicide streamed on Justin.tv
"People were egging him on and saying things like 'go ahead and do it, faggot,' said Wendy Crane, an investigator at the Broward County Medical Examiner's office.
Abraham Biggs, 19, of Pembroke Pines, Fla., had been blogging on an online body-building message board and had linked to his page on Justin.tv, a live video streaming Web site, where the camera rolled as he overdosed on prescription pills, according to Crane.
Biggs, who had reportedly been discussing his suicide on the forums, also posted a suicide note on a bodybuilding forum, which has since been taken down, in which he wrote "I hate myself and I hate living."
"I have let everyone down and I feel as though I will never change or never improve," Biggs apparently wrote in the posting. "I am in love with a girl and I know that I am not good enough for her. I have come to believe that my life has all been meaningless. I keep trying and I keep failing. I have thought about and attempted suicide many times in the past."
The video and blog postings have since been removed from the sites, but Crane, who has seen both, said that at first viewers thought the suicide was a hoax.
"The bloggers said that Biggs had threatened to kill himself before and had faked it, so at first they didn't believe him," said Crane. "Gradually, as you read the blog further into the day the bloggers start commenting on how Biggs isn't moving."
Crane said comments on the thread included an exchange about whether the image of Biggs' motionless body was a still photograph or a video, and eventually resulted in one of the site's visitors calling the police, who tracked down the teen through his computer IP address.
According to Wired magazine, online viewers watching the video ranged from "OMG" – Internet slang for oh my god – and LOL – an abbreviation for laughing out loud.
