Ten Random Tracks A Day For 2026 - 8th to 14th January

Week two of fifty-two lists!  Honestly, I don't know how this is going to go, but I am having a blast hearing some tunes I've not heard in ages.  This could be a millstone for my neck, but who knows, we will find out when I have a nervous breakdown!  Anyway, why and more importantly, what am I doing 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 this being my sort of thing and I've been trying to thing of how to blog again, lets do this. I am going to aim to be posting my list of songs played on that day.  I'll be posting these on my Bluesky & Threads accounts, and then make a playlist to post with these blogs. 

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!
