I’m taking a break from Blend Recapping (don’t worry. there’s more. if you’re sick of it, come back next week when I leave for Austin).
EDIT: I wasn’t going to recap today (I have tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday for that!), but Janetha posted her Friday night recap last night and [...]
So I have this awesome friend that I met through twitter.
I know. I’m a socially awkward geek. So sue me. But he’s an even bigger one, which is where he gets the moniker: Nerdboner.
I met him in person a while back and we got some pizza … and
‘Tis the season for Christmas music. Normally I say “Bah humbug” to boring old holiday tunes, but I’m really interested in the She and Him Christmas album. Take a listen!
Speaking of festive, my friend Kelly is having an ugly sweater contest in which Mr. Barnabus Stinson, [...]
… I have a sick obsession: pop music.
Going to see Ke$ha tonight in Kansas City and it’s the first pop concert I’ve ever been to! I’m not sure if that’s a milestone or an embarrassment, but it’s going to be fun. Doing some shopping beforehand to make sure I’ve got a super trashy outfit [...]

One Project You Are Particularly Proud Of
1. My musical flowers pitcher. And the resulting photos of [...]
I totally forgot about Primus. Primus is definitely an acquired taste — everybody in the band is super talented and the songs use the bass (Les Claypool) as their melody, which is kind of different than most bands.
This video is one of my favorite music videos ever. They filmed it in slow mo and sped [...]
Another song I discovered on The Current — ”Don’t Sit Down Cuz I Moved Your Chair” by the Arctic Monkeys.
I’ve not really listened to the Arctic Monkeys before, but I think I’m going to have to check them out. I’m open to suggestions for which albums.
Also, this video is pretty awesome. It’s [...]
So my friend @MRJWAR on twitter informed me that COB has a new album out — on Monday, during my furious purchasing of music since my emusic subscription renewed and Gaga’s new album was $.99 on amazon. @MRJWAR reminded me that I like metal. So I got Children [...]
The Cars released a new album on Tuesday, and I am REALLY excited.
Here’s one of my favorite songs of theirs:
I love when I find out that a band that has broken up, been defunct or has otherwise just not been around is releasing an album. Bright Eyes is going back to his old sound (so no folk, folks) and releasing a new album called The People’s Key on February 15. YAY!

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.
