Here’s a piece of skateboarding/punk rock history for you. Growing up, I always saw clips of this video. I knew it was Agent Orange, and I knew that they were performing on the deck of a pool, but I never saw the full video. Thanks to the internet, though, I was able to find this classic piece of footage from

Here goes a rant. Enjoy: I’ve already briefly mentioned this before, but my friend Steve and I, AKA Breaking And Entering, are trying to make a television series about Milwaukee’s emerging music scene. We want to feature a lot of the people that get write-ups here on AllenHalas.com, as well as some who don’t, and some people that we haven’t

Who needs programs and plugins and all that? This guy’s got dubstep down with just two turntables and a fader. I was impressed with this video about 23 seconds in. Just look at how fast that guys hand moves on the fader. This is JFB testing out some new turntables. I think he’s worn out the warranty on them. Hope

Let me tell you a little bit about my night Friday. I had no plans of being on the ice at the Dropkick Murphys show after the Milwaukee Admirals game, but we luckily scored a few on ice passes for cheaper than face value. The show was pretty good, minus the security that the Murphys ordered out of the pit,

Ozone Magazine added to the “Shit (people) Say” trend on YouTube yesterday, giving us “Shit Rappers Say”. I know it’s a bit lengthy, but rather funny, and very true. Oh, did I mention Paul Wall, Slim Thug, and Killer Mike in it? Because it does. You’ll grimace when you see your favorite rapper on TV after seeing this video. On

Chad Smith, drummer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, recently tweeted this photo. Clever idea, sir. I need to set something like this up, but my bathroom is way to small to do this. No word yet on whether or not the new RHCP album sounds like shit. I had to do it…

I don’t have a clue what they’re saying, and I’m not sure I want to know either. Just watch:

My friend Bill sent me this video, and this guy is crazy. His name is Marquese Scott. I don’t even have anything to say other than that. I know I couldn’t do like anything in this video. I had to rewatch some of it to make sure it was real. Just watch this.

This is great. Felonious Munk is pissed off. Enjoy: So glad that he put this on the internet. And, he took it one step further by doing the musical remix before some kid could autotune him. Awesome.

Check out Blink 182’s latest video. There’s skaters in the house, and horses, and a man on fire… Brick killed a guy! Oh. Wait. Sorry. No horses. But some fire. Anyway, take a look at the first Blink video in a long time:

So… here’s where I was last night. This isn’t my video, but I was at Blink 182 and My Chemical Romance’s Honda Civic Tour stop at the Marcus Amphitheater. Blink’s set was amazing, but Travis Barker’s drum solo steals the show every time. This is how they started their encore. With a giant arm carrying Travis over the crowd. Unreal.

Another really damn good looking video by Xavier Ruffin. Oh, and Prophetic is really really good, too. Go to Prophpeezy.com to download Proph’s latest project, “Purgatory”.

Here’s the deal, guys. My wisdom teeth were removed yesterday, so I’ve been sitting around doing a whole lot of nothing. In the last day and a half or so my crowning achievements are putting together a wedding DVD for a friend’s sister, and starting to watch Mad Men. That being said, I went to Twitter to find another edition

This is “Coachelletta”, a time lapse of the 2010 Coachella music festival by Sam O’Hare. I’m starting to realize that I really, really like time lapse video. I should make one. Anyway, check out the madness that is Coachella in time lapse:

Holy woah. Everyone needs to check out Gerald Walker’s newest video. From his upcoming mixtape, “The Other Half Of Letting Go”, this track is heavily anticipated. Xavier Ruffin is light years ahead of everyone else (including myself) in Milwaukee when it comes to videos as well. I’ll gladly admit that. Very, very cool. Watch:

Here are the photos from last night that everyone is looking for. Now I can say I get clothes at the same place that Lil Wayne does… or something like that. Definitely a MODA3 shirt, though. Awesome. Go buy clothes from MODA3.

If you ask me who some of my favorite producers are, I will not hesitate to include Klassik’s name. He has a very smooth style with every thing he puts out with other artists, and his own music reflects that same style as well. He’s currently working on an LP, but he just released this video, directed by ¡OYE!, entitled

If you haven’t heard of Jon Frost, be prepared to be thoroughly impressed. I feel like this EP is a how-to for aspiring pop singers, almost. “Can You Hear The Colors” is a 6 song free EP sample of his album of the same name, due out at a later date. It’s everything a fun, catchy pop record should be.

As a producer / beatmaker / whatever it is I really am, I always find it interesting to see how someone takes a song, plays with it, and samples it into something completely different. Kanye is on a whole new level though. He kind of always has been, but this reaffirms that thought. Take a listen to the wide variety

It’s finally here. New Blink-182. The first single from the long-awaited new album premiered on KROQ around 20 minutes ago. I’ve been spending the last 20 minutes listening to the song and trying to embed it. I can’t. However, if you click on any of the words in this sentence, or this picture of Blink, it will take you to

When I heard Rise Against was playing Summerfest on one of the busiest nights for fireworks, I have to admit I was bummed. They always kill every show they play, and the crowd matches the energy that the band puts in every night. I’m really glad that this video was posted on Youtube. If you’ve never seen Rise Against live,

Since I’ve basically been living inside a fireworks store the last few days, I haven’t gotten a chance to check out some new Milwaukee music. When I finally got around to it tonight, I was blown away by this track from Dee Phr3sh!. Listen for yourself and come up with your own favorite lyric. http://soundcloud.com/vonny-del-fresh/dee-phr3sh-brandon-jennings-1

So, with my Ipod dead, I turned to the radio on my drive home tonight. That’s when I heard this song. I liked it from the opening lines and chords, prompting me to use my SoundHound app while driving (which may or may not be more illegal than texting and driving) to find out who it was. Unfortunately, there isn’t

If you don’t know C-Money, So Klean, or Super Fresh Bros., get familiar with them all. You can start by checking out C-Money’s “Above The Clouds” mixtape here. This falls under the “I Made That” heading because I produced the Intro, Intermission, and Outro beat for this tape. I got this tape early from C-Money himself, and after a ton
