Ten Random Tracks A Day For 2026: 5th November to 11th November

Week 45 of 52, only seven more of these posts to go for the year!  Honestly, I've been enjoying these lists, getting to hear tracks I've not heard in years.  I am not going to say it has been a hardship, but it has taken some dedication to making the posts.  I will be pondering if I'm going to do this again, or if I'm going to do something different. I have some ideas, nothing fully formed just yet, but I will not stop posting.  I just need to figure out what I will be doing.  

But let's leave the future where it is, and let us focus on the now. And I will explain for people who are new here why 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: 29th October to 4th November

 

Picture taken by David Hsu & used from Pexels, great photo David!

Week 44 of 52, we are in the endgame of the year with shorter days in the Northern hemisphere. By the tine I post this, Halloween would have passed, the skies will soon be full of fireworks in the UK for Guy Fawkes night.  Part of this is great (Halloween), part will suck (fireworks, scares my cats), but all of it will be amazing.  I do miss lighter nights, but it is all part & parcel of living in the UK.  And yes, lots of spooky movies are being watched at the moment.

But I will leave my Frankenstein obsession behind, as I must tell you 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: 22nd October to 28th October

 

Picture taken by Rana Aldemir, and used from Pexels, great photo Rana!

Week 43 of 52, and the cooler weather is definitely here. My Hebridean blood is enjoying it, I work better in the cold, because I'm not sweating out of my skin.  It also means that in-between going back over the MCU, that my other Autumn/Winter movies come back out.  Been watching Where Eagles Dare, The Cannonball Run, Animalypics and Star Wars: Rogue One.  These films just suit my mood at this time of year, all either very silly or emotional.  I'm also going to watch the two Blade Runner movies as well, just feeling like some classic cinema at the moment.

But enough about current film schedule, 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: 15th October to 21st October

 

Picture taken by Cottonbro Studio, and used via Pexels.  Another great picture from Cottonbro Studio there!

Week 42 of 52, which started with my last blog being posted later than I originally intended.  This was not down to illness, but down to being too busy for a change.  There was work, with a conference to attend, and there was also a gig at The Cluny in Newcastle.  I went to see Ben Quad, with support from Riley! and Voted Most Likely.  The gig was fun, I stayed towards the back, as my old ass body is no longer fit for the pit.  However, it was really good to be at a gig, I rarely get to go (mostly due to cost), so seeing three bands all have good to great sets is a win in my books.  I'm looking to see if I can get to another gig before the end of the year, if something comes along that tickles my interest.

But enough about me spending time out of the house, 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: 8th October to 14th October

 

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

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".

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.
