NCS STEREO {YOUR SATURDAY LINEUP}

by Jamila Pierre


OOOOOO WEEEEEEEE, I have been a busy bee this week! Just when I thought I'd have a moment to come up for air....nope. Quite frankly I've felt a bit scattered, wired....alive....and worn at the same damn time **CUES FUTURES SONG: SAME DAMN TIME**. So, this weeks playlist may very well reflect the nature of my brainwaves as of late.

***WARNING: There is some Heavy Death Opera Metal on this playlist this week, just one song ;) If you open yourself up to the possibility, I think you'll like it.

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!!!

THE DRESDEN DOLLS COIN OPERATED BOY
ENON IN THE CITY
REGINA SPEKTOR MACHINE
TEGAN & SARA HEAVY
IO ECHO ADDICTED
THE ASTEROIDS GALAXY TOUR THE SUN AIN'T SHINING NO MORE
MINDLESS SELF INDULGENCE BITCHES
RAM-ZET R.I.P.
OTEP MY CONFESSION
LANA DEL REY YOUNG AND BEAUTIFUL

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!

NCS STEREO {YOUR SATURDAY LINEUP}

by Jamila Pierre


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.

by Jamila Pierre


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!

As always, my focus is primarily on individual songs that I want to share with you!

NCS STEREO {YOUR SATURDAY LINEUP}

by Jamila Pierre


I honestly couldn't tell you what this week consisted of beyond having a massive death cold, which come to find out...a lot of people were afflicted with this past week or so. During all of that a lot of behind the scenes work has been put into action (blog-wise), and I still had to pump out edits (because it seems that when I think I'm done editing photos....there's a shit ton more that needs to be handled. So my playlist ranged from chaotic, to dreary, to I need to get in that "Imma pull an all-nighter zone", to I just wanna lay here and wallow in my own human sludge because I'm too sick to stand and my nose won't stop running...and I refuse to take the tissues out of my nose (TMI much?). 

I know sometimes my lists don't have a consistent theme, but that not only pretty much sums up who I am as far as my interests (across the board) and style choice, I also don't want to limit what you listen to at the end of the week. I try to jam as much in there as possible (that's what she said). I honestly listen to far too much music within a week to fit into one little itty bitty playlist, this is my attempt at trying to cover all bases. This may change in the future, I may try and streamline it and become more...how do you say..."Profesh", but for now I hope you're liking the seemingly haphazard nature of my lists. 

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.

NCS STEREO {YOUR SATURDAY LINEUP}

by Jamila Pierre


This week was a bit of a mod podge of listening pleasures. I went from Trap/Dub, to Rap, to Hip Hop, to some alternative...there was no real consecutive theme here. My mind was all over the place this week, and so were my feels. As the week dwindles down, I acquired a lovely little cold...**Side eye emoji** so my song selection began to match my sentiments as it pertained to that. Most of those songs didn't make it to the list....this time.

As always, my focus is primarily on individual songs that I want to share with you!

NCS STEREO {YOUR SATURDAY LINEUP}

by Jamila Pierre


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.

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.

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.

This week has been craaaazy, so much has been going on in my personal life...but most importantly...so much has been going on in the world. I've been finding myself distracted or actually trying to distract myself, because even though I would never blind myself to what's going on in the world...I just needed a break. So I just kind of lost myself in my music. This week I found myself reverting back to some songs that brought back some teen year memories and even some younger ones, as for what made it onto this playlist...well why don't you just have a listen. 

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.

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 was my birthday week! I have officially breached the barrier of the big THREE-O, and to be honest I didn't do very much "Turning up" as most would do for their Day-O-Birth. So in light of me not really going out into the world, and twerking about town, I just spent most of my time listening to tunes that paid homage to the twerk queen that decided to take the night off (not that I spend many nights on). Not everything on my list is meant to for straight booty-poppin'...but most songs do make me want to dance...that's just me.

NCS STEREO {YOUR SATURDAY LINEUP}

by Jamila Pierre


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!!!

YELLE A CAUSE DES GARCONS

#1 Yelle- A Cause Des Garcons: This song just reminds me of the time I worked at 99X on the lower east side and still lived in my tiny studio apartment in Bushwick (those were the days). I really miss that place, and those slightly balmy summer afternoons, fans in the windows, with this song (and many like it) just blaring throughout my tiny living space. 

GORILLA ZOE ft. SANTOGOLD & M.I.A GET IT UP

#2 Gorilla Zoe ft. Santogold & M.I.A- Get It Up: I honestly couldn't pinpoint the exact moment I came across this song right here, but I was definitely working in L.I.C at the time, it was a 7 train must-have, and it already featured two of my faves (Santogold & M.I.A). I can't say I've found a song from Gorilla Zoe that makes me feel it in my bones quite like this one, but then again I haven't done my due diligence.

THE DIPLOMATS ft. CAMROM & JUELZ SANTANA DIPSET ANTHEM

#3 The Diplomats- Dipset anthem ft. Camron & Juelz Santana: Oh SNAP! But who doesn't remember this? This was on literal repeat in the back back days, so much nostalgia! This week I have kinda went with some "throw-backie" type sounds (you'll see as you progress...there is a theme here), I've just been in a bit of a mood this week and I'm sure it'll reflect. 

TALIB KWELI & HI TEK THE BLAST

#4 Talib Kweli & Hi Tek- The Blast: Yes I love his other songs, but this is the song that made me fall for his talent, it has everything anyone could ask for in a song. The video is pretty good too.

LILLY ALLEN SMILE

#5 Lilly Allen- Smile: I think it's safe to say we can all relate to this song in some shape or form, we've all been here. I fell in love with Lilly's voice and music, in just about 2006 (when this song can out), and the the video gave me much satisfaction as well.

LESLEY GORE YOU DON'T OWN ME

#6 Lesley Gore- You Don't Own Me: Given my history with music I should have heard this song elsewhere....but I the first time I heard it was in the movie, " The First Wives Club". As much as I love the original, I can't help but love, Diane Keaton, Goldie Hawn, & Bette Midler's rendition of the classic. This song is a serious "women's anthem".

OASIS WONDERWALL

#7 Oasis- Wonderwall: I told you I was in a nostalgia type of mood this week, right...? My playlist has had way more than just ten songs on it, but an ongoing theme has definitely been one that sparks memories and emotions of a carefree time in my life (or emotions that need sorting). If this song doesn't bring at least a little smirk to your face then I don't know what to tell you.

SMITH BABY IT'S YOU

#8 Smith- Baby It's You: Ok, so here we have another case of an absolutely phenomenal song in it's original form (a classic), but the rendition performed by Mary Elizabeth Winstead in the movie " Death Proof", directed by Quentin Tarantino (a capella)....it just made me have a new appreciation for the song. It may not seem like much to some, but it's the little things that can make or break something for me. It was a fresh take on an oldie but a goodie (not to mention, the movie was pretty BOSS AF).

THE COASTERS DOWN IN MEXICO

#9 The Coasters- Down In Mexico: This song, just like #8 on the list, was on the soundtrack to the movie "Death Proof". how amazing this ISH right here was going to be....I. Had. No. F'ing. Idea! Just listen to it and tell me your life hasn't been changed. If it hasn't....again...I can't help you.

SAMUEL L. JACKSON STACK-O-LEE

Last but not least, #10 Samuel L. Jackson- Stack-o-lee: I've cleaned my house....what seems like 100x this week (sick and all), and the only thing that made it bearable was my music and that this song inevitably came on and was repeated a couple of time throughout my cleaning session. I swear I have little dirt demons that come in the middle of the night and make messes for me to clean in the morning (or maybe I'm just a crazy person...yea...maybe that's it). 

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

Thank you for braving through that with me. Remember every Saturday I will bring you a new list of my top 10 songs of the week, in the 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.
