Ten Random Tracks A Day For 2026: 2nd to 8th April

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". 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: 26th March to 1st April

 

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

Week thirteen of fifty-two lists! 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.

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.

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.  

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!

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

 

Photo taken by Nátalie Rodrigues and from Pexels, great photo Nátalie!

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.

Ten Random Tracks A Day For 2026: 26th February to 4th March

 

Photo taken by Cottonbro Studio and used from Pexels, great picture!

Week nine of fifty-two lists! How is it March already, just how!  The year speeds by and the daylight is getting longer.  We are heading towards spring and the heating can be turned off (at last)!  I am looking forward to a few things outside of music this month, February is behind me and all the baggage that it brings, but we need happy thought (or I do at least, even when I am listening to bands like Slayer and Conan.  

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.

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 February to 25th February

 

Picture by Mike Bird and from Pexels, great photo Mike!

Week eight of fifty-two lists! Days are getting lighter and I am also starting to listen to a lot of albums that have been released in 2026.  I think I might start blogging about them as well, like a monthly round up, just to keep things fresh. So far, album wise for 2026, it has been OK.  There are a couple I really love, but there has also been some that are not my sort of thing.  For instance, I'm really struggling with a lot of modern metal albums.  Why do they all have that same intro and drop D tuning?  

And yet, this has nothing to do with this list! 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!
