Those words have rung true.
Following his career through the comedy circuit, through his writing stint on 30 Rock (during an Emmy winning year), his starring role in Community, and now his whirlwind tour as musician, Childish Gambino, we are left at a loss of words as to what we experienced tonight while trying to review his show. …

LISTEN: Duff Disco’s Final Vinyl (MP3)

After two years of flipping cheeseball ’90s hip-hop hits into guilt-free slow-burners, Duff Disco is releasing his last 12″. The seventh and final release digs a bit deeper than previous offerings like “Return of the Duff” (Mark Morrison’s “Return of the Mac”) and “You Wish” (Skee-lo), making early-evening, vibe-setting weapons out of De La Soul’s “All Good” and Gil Scott Heron’s “Angel Dust”. Pick it up at Juno.

Luckily the Duffman hasn’t hung up his production hat quite yet and will continue to release freebies like the slower than slo, pitch/gender-bent “Over to the Left” (Tweet …
