      No, he was recording in last times when sanity existed. Ahead was more stupidity, idiocracy and less freedom of speech and freedom in general. Now in idiocratic times, he wouldn't be able to record his stuff as he would like, cause SJW locusts would constantly attack him and label with everything, causing problems and trying to punish him for being "offensive" ...

      @@sofuckingannoying this was the prime time death of the late 90's pop radio, where you could hear Marilyn Manson played right after Hooters and the Fishwich and Biggie. I remember telling friends could songs were sped up to cram in airplay because they were off key, up an entire step or more. Makes me think of Queens of the Stone Age "'Songs for the Deaf':

The instrumental part is meant to be taken as a representation of overused comercial and unefective music patterns. What you probably meant was that the artists who composed and performed the instrumental part for these particular lyrics did a good job. I agree if this is what you meant.

    Lot of people here think Lajoie was ahead of his time. As awesome as he is, that's not the case with this song: radio friendly bullshit has been a problem since at least the fuckin' '80s, it's just that most people don't realize it because that stuff either doesn't last very long in the public memory or it becomes a nostalgic hit. Every time I hear this song it just reminds me of that "You're Beautiful" song which was all over the radio around the time Lajoie did this.

      ***** You do know that building a Windows machine is like mounting legos.
      And another thing that makes them better is that the hardware available is much, MUCH better for hardware intensive tasks like video editting.
      The rest that you say macs are better, are about the same for both machines as they aren't hardware intesive like text editting, pre-rendered videos,.... Which would be fine if the macs weren't the most overpriced computer ever created.

    I cannot stand the radio. I get so pissed when I leave the house and realize that I forgot my ipod. Sometimes I'll turn around if I'm not too far yet, just so that I don't have to listen to the radio. Even the classic rock stations just recycle the same songs all day. Don't the classic rock stations realize that The Doors and Pink Floyd were not the only artists of their era?
