Ten Random Tracks A Day For 2026: 16th to 22nd April

Week sixteen of fifty-two lists! It only feels like yesterday when it was snowing and the nights were so long, but we are almost at the end of April and it will soon be May! I would say what have I been doing, but mostly it is listen to music, replay old video games, hang out with my gorgeous angel, by Daggerheart/D&D and sleep... of course there was eating as well, but that is expected.  Generally, I'm just amazed at how fast this year is passing.  Not much of an introduction this time, but best I can do at this time of year.

So, as always, 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: 9th to 15th April

 

Picture taken by Volker Thimm and used from Pexels, great picture Volker!

Week fifteen of fifty-two lists! As I start this post, we are currently in the middle of a hot spell in the UK, after another storm (which is a bit late).  We are also back in British Summer Time as the clocks have gone forward, the nights are getting longer and Oyston is getting back into his wicker building. But as we start the second quarter of the year, I've found myself not really listening to much from this year.  What I've heard has been fine, but no more than that.  But I am also as my busy part of the year work-wise, so I think the two are linked.  I reckon that will change very soon, just a shame in the mean time.

So, as always, 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.

Week fourteen of fifty-two lists! We are into the second quarter of the year already!  Time is flying past at a record pace this year, it will be May before we know it!  At the time of writing, it is the busy time of year for my day job, end of the tax year in the UK and it is all hands to the pumps as they say. I will be looking forward to having a good rest soon, if only to recharge the batteries.  But that is enough about me, how are you doing?  Hopefully well, but if not, I hope your fortune changes for the better soon.

So, as always, 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".

Again, I am still amazed that I am still keeping this up!  I might fail at some point, but this week is not that week.  Trying to think what to write at this part can be a bit weird, I usually talk about what has been going on here at Castle Carter, but not much has happened.  It has been nice and quiet, mostly been preparing for a Daggerheart game I have going.  For context, I am DMing a campaign for a group which includes the usual DM.  It started as a campaign based on the D&D Campaign called Ghost of Saltmarsh, but has been changed a lot to the point where I am no longer looking at the book.  It has also borrowed heavily from other stories, it has a cult under the influence of a trapped Goddess and at the end of the last session, the team were about to get in the second stage of a mini-boss fight with low health.  It is all fun!   

So, as always, 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: 19th March to 25th March

Week twelve of fifty-two lists! We are very close the end end of the first quarter of the year, and doesn't time fly!  To be honest, whilst I have had a few days when I've not been able to post these lists, I was sort of worried I would have given up on this by now.  Don't get me wrong, it is not a hardship posting, but my own enthusiasm for blogging took a great hit at the end of my former blog when I was reviewing albums.  I was so burnt out by the treadmill, it just ruined me to a certain degree.  So, to do something like this for fun has been great for my spirits.  I have ideas for other posts, but will see what happens with that later on.   

So, as always, 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.

Week eleven of fifty-two lists! It has been a trying week here when I start writing this dear reader.  Firstly, one of our cats ended up causing us a panic, and a very expensive trip late on a Saturday night to the vets later, he is on the road to recovery.  We all worry about our pets, I think it is in our nature as the protectors of our little fur babies.  So glad he is feeling better, but it did cause a bump in the road when I was posting these lists.  You know what to focus on when that happens.  And then, we return to the music....

And what about the music? And as always 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.

Week ten of fifty-two lists! A bizarre start to the month dear reader, not going to lie to you.  After the stress of one of our cats having an operation (she is fine, all is well and she is already bouncing the house) and by the time I have posted this, I will have gone to a local museum in the North-East of England called Beamish.  Last time I was there, it was the 1980s and I saw Roland Rat (a puppet from a TV show in the UK) being packed up in the back of a van.  It's things like this that are what therapist would called character building, or things that haunt your dreams at 3 in the morning, who is to say...  

So, what brings you here? And as always 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.

OK, you all know how a music list works, let's do this!
