iTunes: Free Wednesday
Several new items have appeared on iTunes since I posted yesterday's Free Tuesday compilation. Some stores update later than others, and sometimes things that aren't posted in the morning are posted by the next day. Here are the updated freebies for today.
US: James Otto,
Our Discovery Download puts the focus on a different genre each week, offering up a free track we think is worth your attention. James Otto is a part of Nashville's MuzikMafia crew, the group of friend and performers who believe in "country music without prejudice." His work is personified by the music of Big & Rich and Cowboy Troy. This soul-inflected country gem comes from Otto's upcoming album, Sunset Man.
US: Phineas and Ferb,
School's out for the summer, and stepbrothers Phineas and Ferb decide to make each day an adventure, from building a death-defying rollercoaster to surfing tidal waves to locating Frankenstein's brain. Their bold escapades always end up cramping the style of their teenaged sister, Candace, who makes every attempt to expose Mom to what is really going on, but somehow always seems to fail. Meanwhile, the family's simple-minded pet platypus leads a double life as secret "Agent P" and faces off with the evil Dr. Doofenshmirtz to save the world. There's a whole lot of stuff to do before school starts and Phineas and Ferb plan to do it all.
US: Breaking Bad, Breaking Bad
Emmy®-nominated veteran actor Bryan Cranston (Malcolm in the Middle, Little Miss Sunshine) heads the cast of Breaking Bad, portraying Walter White, a high school chemistry teacher whose life is suddenly transformed by a dire medical diagnosis. Aaron Paul (Big Love) plays Jesse Dupree, a street-savvy former student who "teaches" Walter a new trade. Anna Gunn (Deadwood) is Walter's pregnant wife Skylar, an enterprising homemaker. Dean Norris (Little Miss Sunshine) is Walter's boisterous and crude brother-in-law Hank who happens to be a federal drug enforcement agent. Betsy Brandt (CSI) plays Walter's sister-in-law Marie, and R.J. Mitte (Hannah Montana, Weeds) is Walter's son, Walter Jr., whose teen angst is further complicated by cerebral palsy.
US: LOST, LOST
The wait is over. The hit drama returns with the highly anticipated fourth season. Picking up from the shocking finale, we learn from "flash forwards" who from Oceanic Airlines flight 815 gets off the island. The excitement continues to build as new enemies, strange alliances, and tragic events on the islands . . . and off . . . push television's most original drama forward.
