++This isn't related to music but whatever...Seth Meyers talks about "Frenemy" and "Staycation" being added to the dictionary and laments the lack of love for "Fartface." I'd like to lobby for "Spam-pede" myself.

++Oh my my, Oh hell yes: Keller Williams, not be mistaken for the realty company Keller Williams, performs "Freaker by the Speaker" below. The acoustic guitarist, who sometimes defies description, will be playing NY, NY on the 11th.*.:
