Welcome to this week's edition of iTunes: Free Tuesday featuring a new collection of free singles from around the world. Each week we send out our dealgnomes to the furthest corners of the Earth to find and retrieve iTunes freebies from all the International stores. Here's what's new today: Nothing on the video scene but lots of lovely singles. Okay. I lie. Some lovely singles. No, that's still not hitting the mark. A very few lovely singles. Nothing this week in France, the UK, Australia or New Zealand. And the Canadian single is all messed up.

Canada: Time Breaks Down by Bend Sinister
Each week, we find a track from an artist or a band we've been enjoying and bring it to you, for free, as our Single of the Week. This time out it's Vancouver's Bend Sinister (named either for the Fall album or the Nabokov novel) that get the honors. "Time Breaks Down" starts off like a melodramatic piano ballad, but quickly switches gears into a stomping, high-kicking, glam rock party. The tempo-changing third act that's all prog-rock showmanship seems inevitable. Like Chris Martin fronting Queen? Perhaps.
