Today's Quick Mention: No way. How the hell can Pitchfork
really say that Outkast's B.O.B. was the best song of the last
decade? Bull SHIT. And Animal Collective in the Top 10? A
Paper Planes remix over the original? NO. What a terrible
way to wrap up the list. Maps should have been #1.
Discuss!
While one of my favorite songs from last year was Oceanic by Imaad
Wasif, I never actually heard any of the record that it came from.
Well, now Imaad has signed with Tee Pee and readied a new full length, and I
definitely won't be missing out on it. Actually, I've already been
listening to it, and I can tell you it's pretty great. The Voidist
is out October 13. Enjoy.

Wasif - Priestess:
While the new album does feature a solid handful of slow
paced gems like Oceanic, much of it sounds sort of
like a stripped down version of the Secret Machines.
So, instead of a forever long prog rock endeavor, you get
these impressive little 3-4 minute long tracks that are
heavy on the atmosphere. You will like this. On
another note, I need to see this guy live, and soon.
