| Nina Simone |
As mentioned last week, I'm a fan of 30 day challenges. They make you adjust your daily routine without all the pressure that comes from making long-term habit changes.
In December, my boyfriend and I tried being vegan, albeit only 21 days. This month, we are trying something more fun -- a new album per day.
There's so much good music out there, but I tend to play the same songs over and over again. Right now, my Spotify is all about the Hipster International playlist, the Girls (HBO show) playlist & Bob Dylan.
Note: In 2010, I may have listened to "changes" by david bowie on repeat about 1000 times. Weird, yes. Can I sing all the lyrics, yes.
Anyways, it's time for a change.
Here's what I'm listening to this month (all picked by Alan after dutiful research):
- The Best of Nina Simone -- Nina Simone
- Was Dead -- King Tuff
