NCS STEREO {YOUR SATURDAY LINEUP}

There has been a serious up flux of tasks that needed to be handled this week, but honestly, I rather enjoyed having a full schedule. It wasn't filled with events or any other types of outings, nor did I get a chance to spend most of my days with the people in my life...but I did get a lot of work done. I truly feel as though I should find a way to attach all of my tech devices to my extremities, because it doesn't seem like I've been off them much this week (between business emails & phone calls, photo archiving & editing, and getting everything ready for not only the new direction my blog is going to go in...but some pretty big projects I'm going to be a part of). These were def my jams for the week,

As always, my focus is primarily on individual songs that I want to share with you! Now, some you may not like, some you may love, some you may remember, and some may be new to you and heading to your music device stat...either way, this is a peek into my music world and my taste. Respect it, enjoy it, and I hope I either introduce you to something or bring back fond memories. 

Disclaimer: These are not my songs and I am not claiming them.

LET'S GET STARTED!!!

There you have it, my top ten for this week!

Remember every Saturday I will bring you a new list of my top 10 songs of the week, in this NCS Stereo (NaughtCouture's Saturday Stereo) segment. Most times there's a focus on artists;  here I will be focusing predominately on specific songs, how they make me feel, what I like about the particular song, how I discovered them, and/or  sometimes the memories that come attached to them. This week I went a different route (as I stated earlier), the format may change again in the future weeks to come. Hope you enjoyed my picks for this week, Happy Listening!

Not gonna lie, this week was definitely a WOOOOOOSAAAAAHHHH type of week, filled with anger-management-countdowns and such...a good portion of this weeks' listenings reflected this. I then found myself listening to some chilled and "vibed out" tunes that helped put me in a better place. It seriously is amazing the effect music has on ones mood, I honestly don't know what I would do without it. In any event here are my picks for the week, I actually happen to love this weeks playlist very much...if I do say so myself, hope you enjoy it too!

Hey guys this is AMY here, A.K.A. @_Betty.Black_ of BettyBlack.info (Jamila's main BISH & guest "DJ" for this week's NCS STEREO). She first came to me with the idea to guest "DJ" a few weeks ago and proposed the idea as a way to bring a new perspective to this playlist from time to time, since then she's already had a takeover and there will be more to come...who knows...maybe your takeover will be next. This is a list of songs I like and have been listening to recently, I hope you enjoy my selection.

This week was seriously about some of my favorite alternative albums from the back back days, even some classics. Most of my days as of late have been spent indoors, this has left me with much time to reflect and reminisce, and just hopping off the ledge of hitting the big 3-OH + 1...I can't help but dip back into the nostalgia bank frequently these days, while listening to my music library. I had no idea how much I'd miss being a teen. In any event, these songs bring back many nights that were riddled with acts of rebellion, mischievous fun & adventures, good music, breaking night, equally rebellious love interests, and "garage-band-member" crushes.

Can we say FINALLY, to a more consistent warmer more cheery spring-like weather pattern. This weather is seriously putting me in better moods already, to the point where I almost forget I am not well. I've even taken my ass out more than usual these past few days, all in hopes of being enveloped by the sheer amazingness of said weather....I just couldn't pass it up. My music was definitely a reflection of my feels this week...or did it help to set my moods...? Eh, whichever it was, I was loving my playlist this week, it brought me back to all the warmer weather walks I used to take.

Hey guys, this is Jeff here (Jamila's husband & guest "DJ" for this week's NCS STEREO). This week I'll be filling in for my wife because she's a bit under the weather. She first came to me with the idea to guest "DJ" a few days ago and proposed the idea as a way to bring a new perspective to this playlist from time to time and to give her a much needed break due to her condition these days, I thought it was a great idea and honestly I would do anything to help my wife in anyway I could. Hopefully she won't have much need to have a NCS STEREO takeover...but from time to time it will be nice to have a fresh voice or "ear" giving their input.

This week I'm trying something a little different, I've decided to change the format of the NCS STEREO, and may do so from time to time until I find a format that best suits what exactly I'm going for (please bare with me til then).

This week has been all kinds of hectic...actually....the past couple of weeks, so I went with a more toned down music selection in order to combat the 50 shades of shitty I've been feeling. If you're new to my blog, or to my social media, then you may not know that I suffer from chronic headaches (not that I make huge announcements very often about my severe ailment woes, all over my blog and social media like that..or very frequently). I do plan to do an depth post accompanied by a video all about it very soon actually. My goal isn't to Debbie down this NCS STEREO, don't get me wrong, I'm just filling you in. All in all, due to the kaka I've been experiencing, it has definitely shaped what I've been listening to this week. 

As always, my focus is primarily on individual songs that I want to share with you! Now, some you may not like, some you may love, some you may remember, and some may be new to you and heading to your music device stat...either way, this is a peek into my music world and my taste. Respect it, enjoy it, and I hope I either introduce you to something or bring back fond memories. 

Disclaimer: These are not my songs and I am not claiming them.

LET'S GET STARTED!!!

#1 AltJ-Breezblocks: Aside from this song being amazing, the music video was expertly done. Additionally, this song (and every other song on this list) fits the feels of my week.

#2 Erykah Badu- Didn't Cha Know: Ok, so if you don't know about this song.....now ya know (and where have you been...?). This week it's been on serious repeat and has actually helped put me to sleep, and has been on the "Sexy Time" playlist as well. It's just one of those multi-purpose songs.

#3 Janet Jackson-Anytime, Any Place: This song is also a multi-purpose song, yes it has typically been featured on my "Sexy Time" playlist, but it has also done wonders to just help unwind my mind in general. 

#4 Tricky- Hell Is Around The Corner: OMG, Tricky is my love! So many nights were spent listening to him and Portishead, throughout my teen years. I was obsessed! When I came upon this song, amongst my arsenal of songs, I was actually surprised that I almost forgot about it and was happy to start listening to Tricky again.

#5 Portishead- Roads: Didn't I mention (like a few playlists back) that Portishead was my JAM?! Ugggghhhh, I LOVE this song and so many of the songs from Portishead. If you're looking to sink deeeeeeeep into some chill vibes, then Portishead is for you...hands down.

#6 James Blake- Retrograde: I actually heard his name for the first time about two weeks ago at my most recent photo shoot. I never got a chance to actually listen to his music, I just took note of his name. Once I got home I did my little search, and HOLY SHIT! This song is just sooooooo Fucking good, excuse my French....or don't. This song was just what I needed to help me through the past week or so, and through my editing sessions. 

#7 Clair De Lune- Flight Facilities: Yet another song that has help me turn in for the night, edit photos, enjoy my rainy Friday (which just passed), and de-fog my mind. It has quickly become a fave.

#8 Movement- Ivory: Unlike the artist James Blake, and how I hadn't heard from him until I'd gotten home from my latest phot shoot, I got the chance to hear this song from the Movement at the shoot. The moment this song came on, I just needed to know who was responsible for this awesome song. The thing is, it's not exactly a song with a lot of bells and whistles, but it is still just...everythang. It's repeat-worthy. 

#9 XXYXX- About You: I honestly don't know if it's the song that makes the song or the song coupled with the video directed, filmed, and edited by Jeff Vash , that makes the song (or at least makes me enjoy it more). This ISH right here is also the ultimate in chill vibes to the max, and with the mondo headaches and spine aches I've been experiencing...chilled to the max is where it's at.

Last but not least, #10 Yael Naim- Toxic: Now this is a cover! I love a bunch of her other songs, but  I am in love with her cover of Britney Spear's song, "Toxic". It's just so damn good, and I appreciate her unique rendition. 

There you have it, my top ten for this week!

I want to share with you guys my love of music. My focus will be on songs that I've been vibing to the most each week. Guys, there are so many songs I want to share with you! Now, some you may not like, some you may love, some you may remember, and some may be new to you and heading to your music device stat...either way, this is a peek into my music world and my taste. Respect it, enjoy it, and I hope I either introduce you to something or bring back fond memories. 

Disclaimer: These are not my songs and I am not claiming them.

LET'S GET STARTED!!!

#1 Queens Of The Stone Age- No One Knows: This song, though it brings back many great memories, brings a tear to my eyes because I really miss music like this. I just love this song and all the nostalgia it brings.

#2 Lauryn Hill- I Find It Hard TO Say: When I first heard this song I cried real tears. It'd been a while since a song made me ugly cry (maybe I was already going through something and the timing was perfect) regardless this song is so relevant and will continue to be till the end of time. 

#3 Bus Driver- Imaginary Places: I mean holy crap! You know when a song brings back the exact moment with a person? This one brings back the very first time my husband shared his music with me, like really shared it with me...and I wasn't disappointed. I became obsessed with this song for months, it was borderline ridiculous. The flow and beat, and the actual music video is like the artist was bringing us back to basics.

#4 Alanis Morisette- You Oughta Know: Who? I ask again....WHO didn't love or know this artist or this song?! If you happen to be the nay-sayer raising your hand...just be informed....you will be ignored (it's not your fault that you don't understand life's meaning). As a teen this song was always blaring through the headphones, I was Alanis, and EVERYONE OUGHTA KNOW!

#5 The Prodigy- Breathe: All hell broke loose when I first heard this song and saw the video, the dopeness is unreal. Keith Flint quickly became my favorite, and many of Prodigy's songs that followed won my heart as well. But, Maxim....#SWOON, when he popped up on the screen in the Breathe video....I was just in instant lust with that man.

#6 Electric Six- Danger High Voltage: This song is my go to, every time I say the word danger...refer to something dangerous....it's either playing in my head or I'm sing it. I can't help it, it's been with me since day one! I love this song, the music video is controversial, and everything about it deserves more hype nowadays than it's ever gotten before. What's funny is...every time I ask anyone if they've heard this song...no one knows what I'm talking about....and it's really starting to piss me off. How dare you (** Mrs. Big Head voice from Rocko's Modern Life**)

#7 Kid Art- 100 ft. Vinny Chase: I came across this gem through my homie Angelica, she let me listen to another Kid Art song and in listening to to that one I came across many of his other amazing ones. I also found that I really like Vinny Chase (he will be in future playlists...trust), so for the past few months I have been having their albums on heavy rotation.

#8 Cheif Keef- Hate Being Sober: This ISH right here tho........like.....you will get your entire life with it blaring through your speakers or headphones. No matter how hard you try to keep still, this song makes you move (and sometimes without even noticing). The breakdowns are sickening, yet another reason why trap music, or "trap-ish" music (which let's face it...if you're a party kid you know it's just a revamped hybrid of Gabber, Hip Hop, and some other ISH) is my JAM.

#9 Funkadelic- Get Into The Groove: Thuis is the ultimate party song, it's long, it gets people into a good mood, it brings back memories, and makes people want to dance. Now if you're strictly into Ratchery (no shade, I loves me some Ratchet party music) then this song might not be the song for you. All I know is when I hear it I begin to sway, and before you know it I'm all into it on the dance floor. I grew up with this so it's just feel good music.

Last but not least, #10 Michael Jackson- Dirty Dianna: This song is by far one of my absolute favorites from the late great. I feel like...in the world I grew up in...this song didn't get as much play and love as all his other amazing songs, yet I feel it's one of the best. And if you really want to feel this song for all it's worth you have to blast it while driving on the road at night with your windows down.

Well, there you have it, my top ten for this week!
