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

Week six of fifty-two lists! This week includes the birthday of my sister, who is only a little bit younger than me... No, I'm not revealing her age, not that type of chap. Her music taste is very different to mine, but the world would be very boring if we all listened to the same thing, wouldn't it?  She is a great lady and is doing well, so (as well as the usual message I send) happy birthday her!  Not sure if she'll read this, but you never know.  Anyway, back to music lists and 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 - 29th January to 4th February

 

Photo taken by RDNE Stock Project on Pexels.  Love this picture, well done to whoever took the photo! - E

Week five of fifty-two lists! And it is also the first to span between two months!  It was always going to happen, can't have January go on for ever (even if it feels like it has this year)!  This week has been a good one, I've love the variety when I'm getting the track together as I get a truly random selection. So, how 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.
