I’ve heard so many good things about the BBC show “Planet Earth.” So, of course I was excited to learn that the first episode of Planet Earth is available for download on iTunes for FREE . Yep, that’s right a free Planet Earth download on iTunes. I have my free download going now.

Plus, the download of Planet Earth on iTunes is actually in HD too. Even nicer. It’s only available for free between 4/12 – 4/26. I’ll let you know what I think of the show once mine is downloaded.

Check out the following list of songs from Soundtrack night on American Idol. I must admit that I’m a little surprised by some of the movies. I would have thought there would have been more modern movies. Bryan Adams also knocked it out of the park with two songs on the American Idol soundtrack list.
