I’ve been loving this song (and new album) by The Drums … so take a listen. It’s really upbeat, but the lyrics aren’t. How ironic-slash-hipster of them.
Happy Thanksgiving! You know what I’m thankful for? Awesome music. Here’s some to share.
I recently was introduced to the Tune-Yards via one of my fabulous former interns who has amazing musical taste. I picked up their new album “w h o k i l l” via emusic.com.
Let me know what you think. [...]
I’m really loving this song by The Tallest Man on Earth. He’s a Swedish acoustic singer/songwriter. I found him on Spotify via my friend Steph. Let me know what you think. I love his style.
I recently discovered that you can shop online at Goodwill. And I’ve taken advantage of this.
Lookie what I got in the mail! ($5-7 a piece)
Did I mention that Thriller is in near-mint condition? Crazy. If I would have tried to find [...]
Wow. Summer has been over for a while and I’m just getting to blogging about the end of summer: Labor Day weekend.
This year I randomly decided that it would be fun to trek down to Kansas City and head to a Ke$ha concert with Mark’s former roommate’s wife, who I barely have spent time [...]
Another band I discovered via a coworker who pointed them out on Spotify is The Thievery Corporation. Who, again, I was already digging on The Current.
Here’s Stargazer by The Thievery Corporation. Let me know what you think.
I’ve been using Spotify a lot lately, but am trying to find a good balance between Spotify and The Current — for a couple of reasons. One is obvious — I’m a member of The Current and donate a chunk of money every month to keep them up and running. Two — if [...]
I know I’ve already featured LCD Soundsystem, but I recently purchased an older album of theirs, “The Sound of Silver” at the suggestion of a friend upon seeing my last post about these guys.
This album is slowly growing on me, though I don’t like it as much as “This is Happening” (their 2010 release). [...]
I made an amazing discovery on Tuesday.
And bear with me, I know I’m probably behind on this, which makes me sad.
YOU CAN MAKE MUSIC WITH NINTENDOS.
Yes. Nintendos.
And I found this out by listening to NPR on the way to work. Which kept me occupied during a traffic-stand-still caused by [...]
… Got Jesus on my necklace-ace-ace
Got that glitter on my eyes
Stockings ripped all up the side
Looking sick and sexyfied
So let’s go, oh, oh, let’s go

Hi there. I'm Calee. Not Caylee. Also known as chimes or the chimes. I'm 27, 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.
