Randomly Set

This week's album is the first "proper" album I've listened to - ie, no YouTube "Greatest Hits" play list types.

So, for week 2, it was Nina Simone. Other than a few songs I've heard in the past - but didn't know she was the singer - I just couldn't get into it. Great for background music, in a strange kind of way.

One I have listened to many times in the past - and only because she has 2 songs on a NYC playlist I listen to now and then. Originally I thought she was someone from the 60s or something. But listening to this album, I realise she's more modern. 

I decided a few weeks ago that in 2016 I would try and listen to a different album/playlist each week. The idea is to try and listen to music I probably wouldn't have considered a few years ago - maybe it's a sign of age? If you have any requests on what I should listen to, post them in here. The only thing I will not listen to is that awful heavy metal stuff where it sounds like they have swallowed a microphone and are very angry (although I'd be angry if I swallowed a microphone).
