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!
