Friction Top 30 of 2009.

Bobby Friction | 15:04 UK time, Monday, 4 January 2010

Here's my top 30 of 2009.Μύ A list I compiled that reflects everything I've played on my 'Friction' show here on the ³ΙΘΛΒΫΜ³ Asian Network.Μύ The reason I used tracks from my 'Friction' show is so I could give you a Top 30 that reflected 'every' desi-centric scene out there from Bhangra to Urban as well as all the great Leftfield & Electronic music.

Playing this stuff out on the ³ΙΘΛΒΫΜ³ Asian Network elicited howls of protest from people who think the Desi Music Industry is only "Bhangra" as well as artists who I've said are important as emerging artists.Μύ Let's just get this clear - this is a top 30 list of tracks that I think defined 2009 on the Friction show - period!Μύ There are artists who didn't make it onto the list with their tracks, who I still think are massively important to the Industry as well as artists who did make it, but only because their track made my head nod n 2009.

To put it simply - it's a Top 30 of my favorite tracks from 2009 - not a statement on an artist's talent, popularity or what I think they will do in 2010.

Listen to the show here!

    That track "Jo Daki Ent" was originally released as an instrumental

    So, 234 comments about Tim Davies's proposals to close 6 & Asian Network and no response.

    Perhaps that's a good thing, because any response would be along the corporate lines of "aggregating content and refencing brands" we've come to expect from a ³ΙΘΛΒΫΜ³ board better connected with corporate life than cultural life.

    This morning, The Observer, Britain's only quality Sunday newspaper left (due I would add to the individuals central to the current pressure on the ³ΙΘΛΒΫΜ³) printed a letter from the UK's leading actors. Their message chimes exactly with ours about the concerns of the current ³ΙΘΛΒΫΜ³ board.

    It's been said before that were a politician to be the subject of the same level of discontent as the current ³ΙΘΛΒΫΜ³ Board, they would be forced to resign. It is essential for the wellbeing of cultural life in the UK that the ³ΙΘΛΒΫΜ³ board resign.

    To attack the ³ΙΘΛΒΫΜ³ is to devalue our national culture as a whole

    Letters, The Observer, Sunday 25 April 2010

    Ahead of the forthcoming election, we wanted to raise our concerns about the ³ΙΘΛΒΫΜ³'s future. Over the past few months, leading opposition politicians have suggested that a new government should prioritise cutting the ³ΙΘΛΒΫΜ³'s licence fee. Others have shown a cavalier attitude towards the ³ΙΘΛΒΫΜ³'s independence, calling, for example, for the ³ΙΘΛΒΫΜ³ to sell off Radio 1, to roll back its online activities and to get rid of the ³ΙΘΛΒΫΜ³'s governing body, the ³ΙΘΛΒΫΜ³ Trust.

    The ³ΙΘΛΒΫΜ³ is the most important cultural organisation in Britain and an indispensable part of our society, admired and envied throughout the world. It is right that there is a national debate about the future of the ³ΙΘΛΒΫΜ³. But attacking it to serve the interests of its commercial rivals would be short-sighted and threatens to devalue not just the ³ΙΘΛΒΫΜ³ itself, but our culture as a whole. We urge people to think about the consequences of their vote for this cherished part of our national life.

    Thanks for the show link. Sahil Charaniya -- Maladaptivity (Feat.Tejas Rathod) / White - One of my favourite

    Hai Boddy,

    I have enjoyed with most of your releases, especially i often like to listen Basement Jaxx (I like it very much, some of friends were commenting with me when it was released).

    Also Jaz Dhami is interesting. I hope this year(2010) too you would give us many shows than last year. Is there any other option other than ³ΙΘΛΒΫΜ³ Asian Network to listen your show (Because sometimes ³ΙΘΛΒΫΜ³ iplayer mightnot work properly i.e., /programmes/b00730pn). If you could provide alternate option it would be more useful.

    Any way best wishes for your future show on the ³ΙΘΛΒΫΜ³ Asian Network. - From cheap .

    I really like a lot of the artists on this list. My favorite has to be Lil Wayne. It's a shame about how things went down causing him to go to prison. The fact that someone can go to jail just for carrying a gun is crazy to me. Here in Michigan, that wouldn't happen. It's an open carry state, so I see people carrying their pistol in a all the time. Right out in the open. I think we should reconsider some of the laws in this country. While I've never used any type of illegal drug, I think it's ridiculous that drugs are illegal. Neither smoking marijuana nor carrying a gun should be a crime, and those are the only two things that put this fine artist in a place he didn't belong.
