Song: “I’m In Control” (The Magician Remix)
Why You Want to Listen: Listen to the original version of “I’m In Control,” and then check out the Magician‘s remix. Okay, you don’t have to do it that way, but the Magician has done a cool job here. “Im In Control” is the London duo’s first single from I Remember, their second album.

Canadian songstress Carly Rae Jepsen played a sold-out show at Showbox at the Market on Leap Day. Jepsen and her four-member band are on their Gimmie Love Tour, in support of her latest album Emotion. They’re headlining in smaller, intimate venues across the US, then it’s off to large Canadian venues in April and May. If you need another Carly fix, her tour wraps up at the huge Rogers Arena (cap. 18K+) in Vancouver, BC on May 20. Fairground Saints and Cardiknox opened.

Kicking off his “Surfing To Shockwave” tour, Joe Satriani rocked the Paramount with his incredible guitar licks and his magnetic stage presence. He’s immensely talented with a sterling history and he seems to really enjoy entertaining the audience. He’s one show that I look forward to when he comes to Seattle.
The evening wasn’t without its mishaps however. There was an issue with a guitar not working correctly and with a stage screen that fell. The audience got it and they weren’t bothered at all. Joe Satriani joked about opening tour teething problems.
His latest record SHOCKWAVE SUPERNOVA is incredible.
