What’s more marvelous than spending time with a new friend? Watching an old friend perform in a touring off-broadway musical comprised of rockin’ cheesy 80s hits.
I bought tickets for Rock of Ages a few months back when I realized a good friend of mine from high school was touring with the [...]
Guess what I did in my graduate graphic design history class this week?
Watched MTV.
And I’m not even kidding. We’re watching more tomorrow too.
We’ve been learning about the advent of computer design technology in the 80s and how MTV used to be avant garde and changed the face of identity design by having [...]
I’ve been meaning to kick off this series for a while. Way back in October of 2012 I was in Indianapolis for a work event and met up with my blend Kate. After we got dinner, cupcakes, and all that jazz, I mentioned that I just got back from seeing
I’m glad that the world is finally getting over sparkly vampires and is embracing zombies. And if somebody makes zombies sparkle, I might cry.
One of my Facebook friends notified me of this zombie apocalypse playlist put together by People Magazine. Ignore who put it together, and take a look at the songs on the [...]
I mentioned a few Sweet Tunes Thursdays ago that I got a record player for Christmas from Mark’s parents, and it became my favorite gift ever (yes, ever! Except that time I got a dog for my birthday … Barney kind of trumps [...]
It’s no secret that I love Megadeth. In fact, I’m what you might call a mega-ficionado, given the fact that I own Megadeth potholders, towels, and a Dave Must-apron.
However, I stumbled across a Megadeth song I didn’t know existed. It’s actually an Alice Cooper song, so I’m doubly surprised I [...]
I’m writing a completely different post than I’d hoped to write today. How come? It went down like this:
On Tuesday, my friend and chiropractor, Dr. Wheat tweeted this:
@doctor_wheat GAH. i’m kicking myself for listening to spotify all week and not the current. $250 is a bit much. Wed is out.
— CAL-ee. [...]
Don’t worry. I won’t hurt you.
But this song might.
I bought Prince’s “1999″ on a whim from a local record store because it was only $6, and why not. Plus, there was a very obvious penis sketched on the cover, and it was purple. Those are clear selling points when I’m purchasing albums.
I got a turntable for Christmas and all I can do is listen to vinyl. I’m obsessing. I’ve been virtually curating my ideal vinyl collection via Pinterest for months, and I’m finally getting to make it a reality.
I’ve got a little bit of my dad’s taste in music … well, a lot [...]
I know nobody really cares to read my concert recaps, or my music posts — especially because I keep writing about the same bands it seems lately — but these are the posts I love writing the most, so I’m going to continue to write them. Come back later this week if this bores you.

Hi there. I'm Calee (pronounced CAL-e). If that's too hard, just call me Cal. Also known as chimes or the chimes. I'm 28ish, a designer, a runner, a self-proclaimed fitness queen, a craftster, a foodie, a music snob — some might call me a hipster. Here's the unabridged version.
