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 [...]
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.
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 [...]
Bowie. He’s beautiful, androgynous and one of my favorite artists of all time. If you follow me on twitter, you’ve probably seen me tweet about wanting to have #bowiebabies more than once.
I discovered a song that I’m not as familiar with by Bowie. And I youTubed it and found this awesome video from probably [...]
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 [...]

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.
