Chris Brown Reads Apology for Beating his Girl. Beastie Boys Postpone Tour Because of Cancer, Apologize.
There’s really no comparison.
Learn to apologize without reading a teleprompter Chris. And to not beat women in the first place. Youtube apologies are cool, but you’re not T.I., my man.
Speedy recovery Yauch. You’re an inspiration!!
Portugal, The Man: Lay Me Back Down (With Nataly)
My friend Mark has a lot of great photos featuring a lot of great models. He recently toured the northern hemisphere shooting different models in different posed in different cities and wrote about it nicely on his blog. Stories of his travels are a must read. Enlightening and funny stuff.
I was perusing Mark’s photostream on Flickr, and came across a heartwarming note about one of Mark’s “go-to” model’s finding her a great man. I decided to check out his band, Portugal, The Man on Youtube and was pleasantly surprised. Portugal sounds like a more optimistic version of Yeasayer. Check out the video for their song, Lay Me Back Down (with Nataly as a featured model).
*Note: The youtube channel hosting the video disabled the ability to embed it, which kills much of the viral spread of the video, resulting in low viewcounts. Allow people to easily embed and share your work if you want to get really big. No worries, though LOL*
Camile Velasco – Kanye West "Heartless Cover" with Guitar Cameo
Great work from my friend (and former American Idol contestant, current Underground Hip Hop / R&B Performer with Up Above Records) Camile Velasco. Check out the cameo!
Psst. I’m actually trying to cover the entire guitar in stickers. The brand stickers on the guitar will be seen by thousands of people over the guitar’s lifetime. If you’d like your sticker on my guitar, too, let me know by leaving a comment or shooting me an email (glenn@glennfriesen.com). I’d be happy to rock it!

Wow. The drums on this track rock. Nice with a reserved chord progression. Thanks for the reference TheSaiko for the heads up!
Dirty Projectors Gets Special Mention on Twitter
Twitter recently announced that the replies tab will include mentions as well as replies. Sounds a little confusing, and the two are really just a matter of where the (at) handle is located in the responsive tweet. Replies to me, for instance, would begin with @glennisaac while mentions of me would start with something other than my handle – though my handle (@glennisaac) would be included some other place in the tweet.
To me, the coolest thing in this announcement isn’t the new functionality, but the fun little mention of one of my favorite eccentric bands/musicians: Dirty Projectors. Awesome subtle reference Twitter team! Seems timely considering the mention announcement was posted around the time of SXSW – which is when Dirty Projectors were covered by NPR. As a side note, super congratulations to Dirty Projectors for their recent collaboration with Talking Heads frontman, Art Extraordinaire, and Blog Genious, David Byrne on a track for the Dark Was the Night compilation.
