Ten Random Tracks A Day For 2026: 24th September to 30th September

Picture taken by Maor Attias and from Pexels, great picture Maor!

Week 39 of 52 weeks, and we have pasted the Autumn (Fall for our cousins across the pond) equinox.  Three-quarters of the way through the year, and we are still in what I would call summer weather here.  I am not a fan, I prefer the colder weather, but I don't have a weather machine.  So sadly, we can still have ice cream in the warmth, I want my rain clouds in time for October, or there will be a huff/trouble 

But nevermind my fears of global warming causing issues to my spooky time, how in the blue hell-scape of space did we get here and these posts
? At the start of the year on Threads (or possibly on Bluesky), I started to see people posting random 10 songs for the day.  Now, with lists being my sort of thing and finally having the itch to blog again, I thought "lets do this". My aim is to try to post at least one list of songs per day, but as has happened, sometimes I've had to do a few post together.  If you want to follow the lists as they are posted, that is happening on my Bluesky & Threads accounts, and once a week I am compiling into this blog/playlist.  

For full disclosure, I did miss a couple of these days, so I went to my iTunes/YouTube and looked at what I had played on the days missed. Also, when it comes to the playlists I have found that sometimes that track I played is not available.  In those cases, I've added a substitute track, which I will note when posting.  Also, I'm using Spotify.  It is the only streaming service I am used to, I am also looking into changing as Spotify sucks and their owner is a bad egg.  Much like the first post, this post and others might be edited for a new playlist provider.

Ten Random Tracks A Day For 2026: 17th September to 23rd September

Picture taken by Necip Duman and used from Pexels, great photo Necip!

Week 38 of 52 weeks, and we are closing in towards the end of the year.  I'm running out of time for some bands and artist, which is a weird sentence to write.  There are a few I would have thought would have turned up more, but my collection that I put on shuffle is massive.  It's on a 2TB hard drive, and there is soooooo many albums.  The Zappa collection alone is something to behold, and it is not even close to being complete.  My biggest band is Pearl Jam at the time of writing, who I love, but I would have thought Zappa would have topped this.  Well, maybe he does, but the tracks are split between solo and the various incarnations of the Mothers of Invention.  You could have taken the crown Frank!!! 

So, as I throw myself at the mercy of the holy tasche, and I will confirm to you how in the blue hell-scape of space did we get here? At the start of the year on Threads (or possibly on Bluesky), I started to see people posting random 10 songs for the day.  Now, with lists being my sort of thing and finally having the itch to blog again, I thought "lets do this". My aim is to try to post at least one list of songs per day, but as has happened, sometimes I've had to do a few post together.  If you want to follow the lists as they are posted, that is happening on my Bluesky & Threads accounts, and once a week I am compiling into this blog/playlist.

Ten Random Tracks A Day For 2026: 10th September to 16th September

 

Picture taken by Eyüpcan Timur and from Pexels, great photo Eyüpcan!

Week 37 of 52 weeks, and I'm starting to lock in with these posts.  After my little break, I am feeling up for the challenge.  I think it's because I'm in my favourite time of year (as noted in the last post), I just love it when it starts to get dark around 7:30 in the evening, the wind picks up, the charva's put their t-shirts back on... it's just a lovely time of year.  I am also going to have to pick up my AOTY listening as well, got some albums that I am excited to listen to, been a good year for music again.

And with that piece of nostalgic waffle, let's change gear and I will tell you how in the blue hell-scape of space did we get here? At the start of the year on Threads (or possibly on Bluesky), I started to see people posting random 10 songs for the day.  Now, with lists being my sort of thing and finally having the itch to blog again, I thought "lets do this".

Ten Random Tracks A Day For 2026: 3rd September to 9th September

Picture taken by Mick Haupt and used from Pexels, great photo Mick!

Week 36 of 52 weeks, we are heading towards Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere, the nights draw in and I am feeling well.  I love this time of year, still light around 8-ish for a bit, cooler weather, slightly less drunken singing outside the house from idiots. What is not to love? It also makes me feel safer for some reason, no idea why, it just makes my mind settle a bit more.  The human body is a strange thing, what can you do.

Well, I can tell you what you can do... You can tell me how in the blue hell-scape of space did we get here? At the start of the year on Threads (or possibly on Bluesky), I started to see people posting random 10 songs for the day.  Now, with lists being my sort of thing and finally having the itch to blog again, I thought "lets do this". My aim is to try to post at least one list of songs per day, but as has happened, sometimes I've had to do a few post together.  If you want to follow the lists as they are posted, that is happening on my Bluesky & Threads accounts, and once a week I am compiling into this blog/playlist.  

For full disclosure, I did miss a couple of these days, so I went to my iTunes/YouTube and looked at what I had played on the days missed. Also, when it comes to the playlists I have found that sometimes that track I played is not available.  In those cases, I've added a substitute track, which I will note when posting.  Also, I'm using Spotify.  It is the only streaming service I am used to, I am also looking into changing as Spotify sucks and their owner is a bad egg.  Much like the first post, this post and others might be edited for a new playlist provider.

Ten Random Tracks A Day For 2026: 27th August to 2nd September

 

Picture taken by Eyüpcan Timur and from Pexels, great phot Eyüpcan!

Week 35 of 52 weeks, and another sad week for my childhood.  Dolly Parton, Tim Curry and Peter Cullen have all gone behind the curtain invisible.  The King of Norway has also passed as I write this, and whilst I am not a royalist (or Norwegian), it is still a moment for that great nation.  Whilst death is part of the bargain of living, something we all have to face, it doesn't stop the sadness when people who you admire leave this mortal realm.  So, whilst that is happening, I am still playing RPG's and making these lists.  Not a heroic use of my time, but then again, I know what my place is (and I'm happy with that).

And after that intro, another sad one (I promise to be more upbeat soon), how in the blue hell-scape of space did we get here? At the start of the year on Threads (or possibly on Bluesky), I started to see people posting random 10 songs for the day.  Now, with lists being my sort of thing and finally having the itch to blog again, I thought "lets do this". My aim is to try to post at least one list of songs per day, but as has happened, sometimes I've had to do a few post together.  If you want to follow the lists as they are posted, that is happening on my Bluesky & Threads accounts, and once a week I am compiling into this blog/playlist.  

For full disclosure, I did miss a couple of these days, so I went to my iTunes/YouTube and looked at what I had played on the days missed. Also, when it comes to the playlists I have found that sometimes that track I played is not available.  In those cases, I've added a substitute track, which I will note when posting.  Also, I'm using Spotify.  It is the only streaming service I am used to, I am also looking into changing as Spotify sucks and their owner is a bad egg.  Much like the first post, this post and others might be edited for a new playlist provider.

Ten Random Tracks A Day For 2026: 20th August to 26th August

(Another blog that have been delayed as I needed a little break, I can't say I'm sorry, but I do hope you enjoy! - Ed)

Week 34 of 52 weeks, it has finally rained (not enough) and thinks are getting to what I would call a proper temperature in the UK.  It is sometimes needed, the grass around the area was going a shade that could kindly be called "scrubland rough".  But it has not all be amazing, I have been more than a little ill, and needed a break from regular posting.  I still want to do this, but I don't want to burn myself out.  That is why my old blog got deleted, it is the reason why I left my radio show behind, I just kept going without a proper break.  And as I do this without payment, it is not healthy to make this a chore, it should be fun!  So, I took some time for me, kept making a list of the 10 random tracks, and posting them/setting the playlist ready for posting.  

And after that intro, and I might re-write it (but probably won't), how in the blue hell-scape of space did we get here? At the start of the year on Threads (or possibly on Bluesky), I started to see people posting random 10 songs for the day.  Now, with lists being my sort of thing and finally having the itch to blog again, I thought "lets do this".

Ten Random Tracks A Day For 2026: 13th August to 19th August

 

Picture taken by Mavi Ay Durağı & used from the website, Pexels.  Great picture Mavi!

(This (and the follow blog) have been delayed as I needed a little break, so enjoy! - Ed)

Week 33 of 52 weeks, summer is heading towards its end, but it seems to be getting warmer too.  Three heatwaves in the UK this year, not had anything like that for many moons.  You know, I try not to worry about stuff like that, not because I don't believe in global warming, in fact I have always believed in it.  But god damn, I do wish we had politicians who actually gave a fuck about the planet, not their own personal wealth and draining the world to a crisp.

So, in the next hard left into the blog proper - are you hear for some music, and if so, how in the blue hell-scape of space did we get here? At the start of the year on Threads (or possibly on Bluesky), I started to see people posting random 10 songs for the day.  Now, with lists being my sort of thing and finally having the itch to blog again, I thought "lets do this". My aim is to try to post at least one list of songs per day, but as has happened, sometimes I've had to do a few post together.  If you want to follow the lists as they are posted, that is happening on my Bluesky & Threads accounts, and once a week I am compiling into this blog/playlist.  

For full disclosure, I did miss a couple of these days, so I went to my iTunes/YouTube and looked at what I had played on the days missed. Also, when it comes to the playlists I have found that sometimes that track I played is not available.  In those cases, I've added a substitute track, which I will note when posting.  Also, I'm using Spotify.  It is the only streaming service I am used to, I am also looking into changing as Spotify sucks and their owner is a bad egg.  Much like the first post, this post and others might be edited for a new playlist provider.
