Ten Random Tracks A Day For 2026: 8th October to 14th October

Week 41 of 52, and a totally irrelevant rant!  So, I am currently in the process of topping up my Marvel DVD collection, so been looking at the website of my local Cex store.  They have it posted that one of the movies I am after is there. Went round after work today, no copy is there, and the staff say it hasn't been in for month.  However, it is still shown online!  I know it is a first world issue, not a big thing in the grand scheme of the world.  I just want companies to have their websites in order, it is not hard.

But enough about me and my physical media addiction, let me explain 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: 1st October to 7th October

 

Picture taken by Guohua Song, and used via Pexels, great picture Guohua!

Week 40 of 52, somehow, my hopes of Autumn has been put on pause by another burst of hot weather.  Whilst this is good for vitamin D, clothes washing, charva's with their tops on, I am at the point of wanting a bit of rain.  The nights are drawing in at least, which is good for this time of year.  Means I can start watching my spooky movies again! I'm also got a separate post on the go, which is taking a bit of time to finish.  More on that in future posts! 

But let us leave the future to the side for now, and let me explain 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.

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.

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

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.  

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: 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". 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: 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.

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.
