Around the Tubes vol. IV

I have gotten a plethora of cool press releases have been flooding my inbox recently that you may find interesting. This post will include blurbs on Eastbound and Down, The Closer, Heroes iStory, Tracy Jordan, Kindle 2, and free Mieka Pauley.

- In a story I broke last week, February 15th at 10:30 sees the premiere of Eastbound and Down starring Danny McBride of Pineapple Express fame. So those with HBO, cozy yourself up next to your Valentive and take a look. Before then, check out this behind the scene look at the show.



- Amy Sedaris starts up a two episode arc on The Closer this coming Monday at 9:00 as the sister of the groom and phychic who wants to help Brenda on a case which hilerity will surely follow. Check out a clip below:



- For those have yet to jump ship on Heroes, Heroes iStory recently returned with The Agent, a story that parallels Volume Four of the show. For fans not familiar with the iStory, the interactive feature at NBC.com puts fans in the seat to decide the outcome and fate of the story. I get the sence it is kind of like the old Choose Your Own Adventure books from our youths. Head over to NBC.com to check that out.

- Not to be upstaged by Christian Bale, Tracy Jordan of 30 Rock fame went on his own rant recently. Head over to NBC.com to give that a listen.

- When the Kindle arrived, it was supposed to be the iPod of reading but a year later and I have not met anyone that owns one. Maybe with the release of the Kindle 2 it will finally catch on. It totes a 25% longer battery life, more storage (1500 books), 20% faster page turns, a Read to Me function for the deaf or lazy people like me that hate to read. So if you have $359 burning a hole in your pocket, check out the banner below. Presumably you could read the 9th Green there but I am not entirelym sure how.



- For those that do not have that kind of money to spend on luxury, how about something for free? For a limited time Amazon MP3 is offering up the entire album by Mieka Pauley for free. She is kind of in the acoustic singer-songwriter in the vein of early Jewel. So give a listen to the clips below and if you like it, you can get it for nothing as long as it is still says free.
