I’d like to issue an apology to Donald Glover for taking two years to write a blog post about him. You see, the man also known to “Community” lovers as Troy Barnes and hip-hop heads as Childish Gambino is incredibly talented… and I? Well, I’m just a procrastinator. Perhaps I should take a hard-working cue …
Dear Drake – At first, I wanted to write you to say thank you (it’s later, right? I’m guessing you expected gratitude once you released the followup to your debut album, Thank Me Later.)

So basically it’s the launch of “DJ Hero,” a new videogame like Guitar Hero…well, without the guitars. DJ …
As mentioned elsewhere, I covered Wango Tango 2009. I also mentioned a “fiasco” that occurred at this event. Cliffs notes version? I had fabulous interviews with some of music’s biggest names… and then, the tapes went missing. But as the cliche saying goes, memory lives in the heart (not on digibeta tapes.) So now I’ll …
