my top ten of 2010


photo taken by my father in front of my mother’s childhood home in jabalpur, m.p. (feb 2010) my grandmother still lives here.

it’s been a while since I logged in here…
just in time (well, sort of) to post my top ten fav albums of 2010.
{you can find the incredible kid’s list here: Portland Mercury }

1. Panjabi MC “The Raj” (oh my god, album of the YEAR!!)
2. Nucleya “Horn OK Please” (filmi dubstep done proper)
3. Kulvinder Singh Johal “Mundeh Panjabi” (includes my fav SONG of the year: JOHAL BOLIYAN)
4. Nas & Damian Marley “Distant Relatives” (in heavy rotation over here)
5. Amar “Show it Off” (urban desi sassiness)
6. Amit Tridevi “Aisha” (Original SoundTrack) (Not your typical bollywood)
7. GTown Desi “11:34” (giddha! desi dnb! & bhangra bangers!!)
8. Pitbull “Armando” (club bangers!!!)
9. Balkan Beat Box “Blue Eyed Black Boy” (Can Tomer Yosef really do wrong??)
10. DJ Sanj “American Desi” (btw Apple Bottom Jeans has to be the *WORST* song of the year, wtf)

oh & for the record I bought my very first SHAKIRA album last year (there’s some good shit on there! never thought I’d say that…)
