The Economy Sucks So I'm Giving Away More Free Music

Ok, so everyday I watch the news and hear how the economy is either a) in crisis or b) just fine. Anyone with any modicum of common sense knows the world economy is on shaky ground right now, but that doesn't mean people can stop living. It just means we have to be a little smarter with our money.

I love music. It's a weakness. I spend lots of money on shows and new CDs. Now, I'm giving away two copies of Megadeth's Anthology: Set The World Afire. The double-disc set was released Tuesday. This is Megadeth's first new CD since releasing the Warchest box set. The two CD set features 35 songs, including past hits like “Peace Sells” and some previously hard-to-find live recordings. All songs are digitally remastered. Anthology: Set The World Afire also features “High Speed Dirt,” previously unreleased in the U.S.

Now, you're probably wondering where the contest comes into play. I've got two copies of Anthology: Set The World Afire to give away. If you want a copy, write me and explain how 80s Megadeth influenced modern Glam bands. Yes kids, many modern Glam bands cite both Metallica and Megadeth as musical influences. Remember: our definition of Glam has evolved over time. I think Black Tide are plenty Glam. Back in the day, they would have been considered "heavy." Email your responses to allyson@bringbackglam.com. Please put Megadeth in the subject line. Send me those responses by 5pm EST on Saturday, October 4, 2008. Good luck.
