By Allen Halas and Catherine Barchus If you’re a frequent reader of this website, this post may not be for you. It is, however, for someone you know, and I’d encourage you to share it with them. Over the weekend, I managed to see a total of 20 acts, including bands from Iowa and Green Bay, as well as Milwaukee,

Over the weekend, I may or may not have made a guest appearance on Wisconsin’s drunkest talk show, Yogie B & Keez’s Power Hour. We talked about Milwaukee music and much, much more, and the guys really know how to have fun whilst inebriated. You can also catch a performance of their song “Chug” during the episode. If you want
Read moreLast night, I appeared on low-power FM/Online station Riverwest Radio 104.1, as a guest of Dom Portis on his weekly show, “A Lifestyle Hustle Function”. We talked on why or why not Milwaukee hip hop doesn’t get the coverage it deserves. While I argue that things are better than ever, Dom would like even more doors opened. Check out the
Read moreIn the madness that is Summerfest, I still had time to put together a mixtape for this week. Now, granted, the lineup may have influenced my picks, as evidenced by the presence of Schoolboy Q and Something Corporate (you know, that band Andrew McMahon fronted once). However, there’s a ton of pop punk from my early teenage years there, too.
Read moreThis week’s mixtape is a little erratic, but when isn’t it, really. There’s a lot of indie, but I’m ashamed to say Kriss Kross, I mean Rae Sremmurd’s “This Could Be Us” was an earworm for me, as well. There’s also some La Crosse pop punk in Of The Fact’s “Breakdown”. Definitely a band I’d say to check out if
Read moreThis week’s mixtape is more of an EP, actually. It has that sort of feel to it. I’m sure more songs were stuck in my head, but these were the top earworms. I also apparently had a thing for female singers today, so there’s that. Anyway, I’m headed up to Minnesota today, so there’s a chance I might be listening
Read moreThis week was a weird one for me, so naturally, this week’s playlist is a little weird, too. There’s the kinda-creepy original version of Tom’s Diner, and Rod Stewart’s “Sailing” makes an appearance, after being stuck in my head on Thursday morning. There’s also some pop punk angst in there, with Alkaline Trio and Taking Back Sunday. And then we
Read moreI didn’t forget about you guys this long Memorial Day weekend. However, it’s a bit of a shorter playlist this time around. Mainly because these songs stayed in my head for multiple days this week. I’d be more than stoked if you play this at your barbeques this weekend, so if you do, let me know! Enjoy the mix!
Read moreI immediately went to work on my second weekly mixtape after my first one was published. I like this project, because you can kind of see the ebb and flow of my week based on my music choices. Or, conversely, there will be some weeks where things are completely random. That happens, too. Anyway, check out this week’s mix, with
Read moreHey everybody, It’s been a while since last time I filled you in about the current Breaking and Entering happenings, so here goes nothing. First off, a huge thank you to anyone that frequently visits the blog for new music. January 2014 was far and away the busiest month for the site traffic-wise, tripling December 2013 and doubling our busiest
