Most amazing and random team-up ever. Lost in the World by Kanye featuring Bon Iver. I discovered this on The Current recently.
Added bonus: definitely a Michael Jackson reference throughout the song — part of “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’”.
This is off Kanye’s new album “My Dark Twisted Fantasy” — which I’m [...]
These guys are going to be at DGs Taphouse in Ames tonight. I’m really excited! Love them. They’re from the great white north (MN) and are part of the folk resurgence that’s happening lately. LOVE.
I’m in Minnesota right now and I’m going to be seeing the one and only Daniel Tosh tonight.
However — I’m kind of sad. I’m missing my friend Candace’s b-day party. SO I HOPE THAT IS FUN IF YOU’RE READING THIS.
Anywho, since you’re going to miss out, here’s a little clip from some old [...]
For those who know me, it might sound like I’m trying to get some major brownie points here, but I’m totally not.
I thought I’d start adding some more localish flavors for my Sweet Tunes Thursdays. So, I present to you, Public Static — a twin cities band fronted by Nick Reid, my beau’s [...]
I just spent the best 7 dollars I’ve spent in a long time. I bought Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros album, Up from Below. Of course, I’ve been digging some of their songs on The Current for the last several months. But it was the song “Home” that did it for [...]
First of all, happy birthday to my fabulously amazing niece who turns TWO today!
As you can see, my mom likes to put her in colorful outfits. She is so damn cute (takes after her aunt, yo).
Anywho, today’s musical selection is Les Savy Fav — another case of something [...]
Stay tuned for my official Slayer/Megadeth/Testament concert review!
Needless to say, I had a fabulous time.
I was futzing around on iTunes the other day and adding some key albums to my wishlist, when I remembered that a couple bands that I’ve done album art for have their albums on iTunes. I didn’t find one of them, but I did find my friend Flip’s band, The Half Hearts.

It’s another weiner-free weeeeeeeeeekend. I shouldn’t be this excited, but my lil dog is kind of like having a misbehaving 3-year-old. If you’re reading this, that means I’m in Minnesota and Barnabus is at Steph‘s place for the weekend.
Why, do you ask? Because I’m going to see SLAYER. MEGADETH. AND TESTAMENT.

This past weekend, Mark and I trekked up north to his family’s place in the Twin Cities to hit up his brother’s 30th Birthday and Housewarming party. Our friend Ben met us at Mark’s parents’ house on the way back from a camping trip in Canada. Ben’s car had been broken into a few different [...]

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.
