Joe Satriani - One Big Rush

Band: Joe Satriani
Song: One Big Rush
Album: Flying In A Blue Dream (1989)
Genre: Hard Rock, Progressive Rock

Anybody remember when Wii Fit came out?  One of the games I liked to play on that stupid balance board was the skateboarding thing.  I've never tried to actually skateboard in real life, but I enjoyed the idea of doing it then.  To help get in the skate mood that I assumed existed, I played this song on a loop.  I don't really know why I gravitated toward associating this song with skateboarding, but I did.

It's a catchy song though.  Not his best song, but a super fun one.

Joe Satriani - The Phone Call

Artist:  Joe Satriani
Genre:  Blues Rock

Day 1 of having traveled to another state to train people how to do their jobs.  Hey hey!  I'll give out an update in the evening/afternoon again like with yesterday's post.

I used to listen to this guy a lot and I can't quite remember why I stopped.  He's a really solid guitarist that plays notes like a machine.  Not as crazy as John Petrucci, but straight up crazy nonetheless.

I really love this song though, when I first heard it the fact that he was using an effect on his voice it blew my mind.  I'm not sure why it blew my mind so much, but it was probably because I was 14 at the time.

AFTERNOON UPDATE:

Well here's day 1 finished.  Worked an extra hour, climbed a ladder to the roof, and continue to be terrified.  You know what though?  This is a lot of fun.  My roommate is pretty cool, so far my coworkers seem cool, and the owner doesn't seem too bad either.

Joe Satriani - A Celebration

1 year!  YES!  Uninterrupted music (with the exception of forgetting to share the link on G+ or the occasional late post) for 365 days!  Grand total of 365 songs, though one was a repeat on my birthday.  I was going to post that Kool & The Gang song today, but I posted that sometime last year.  Curse me for not thinking ahead.

It's been quite a year with a lot of music, but I'd call it worth it, wouldn't you?  I'd call my favorite part of the year the A to Z challenge, but that's just me.  If you missed that be sure to check out all the posts in April, that's when it happened.

However long you've been following me I'd just like to thank you for it.  It means a lot to log in and see that a pst has another couple views on it, or that there's a comment.  Thank you all.

Alright, now the music.

Artist:  Joe Satriani
Genre:  Instrumental, Metal, Rock, Guitar

I'm really not 100% sure how to classify Satriani and I don't feel like googling it.  He does some straight up jaw dropping playing though and is well worth watching play live.  Take a second and look up some of his videos from the G3 tours where he plays with Steve Via and a third guitarist.  It's always really good.

This song is just an instrumental, but even if that's not your cup of tea check it out.  It's only a little over 2 minutes long and a really fun listen.
