The System Has Failed. A CD version will be released March 27.
"This was one of the greatest nights of
my life," says MEGADETH founder and frontman DAVE MUSTAINE. "I am glad
I was able to document it and share it with you. 'That One Night' is a
lesson in metal fanaticism by some of the best participating, most frenzied,
and intense concert-goers in the world! I have waited ten years to show
the rest of the world how much Megadeth and Argentina love each other.
If seeing this doesn't convince you how lethal a Megadeth concert in Argentina
with some very close personal friends can be, don't worry�you're already
dead."[see full story for track info]- Click

Moore 10 Spot |
PR reports: While i-Tunes set the standard
by offering tracks for just $.99 each, the 10 Spot label has been launched
with the digital download customer in mind. Believing in the mantra "10

name a few, but ultimately has a style all her own. Shannon defiantly knows
how to deliver a song and captivate an audience. Born and raised in Houston,
Shannon received her first guitar at the age of 10 and completed her first
song When It Rains by the age of twelve. http://www.myspace.com/shannonmooremusic.com

very giving and unified community � despite what some of its detractors

Malajube has a deep understanding
of when to retard, build, and crescendo musically, making Trompe~L'Oeil
a quality listen. There are definite points that do not match the minimum
