Ten Random Tracks A Day For 2026: 11th June to 17th June

Week twenty four out of fifty five, we are approaching the halfway mark on this journey, and let's be honest, the more I do this, the more I realise how much Pearl Jam I listen to.  Honestly, they've not even had a day dedicated to them and they are over 20 tracks so far this year, and they are not even in my top five bands.  Granted, I have seen them live once and it was amazing, but I have not went out of my way to hear one of their albums for ages.  No reason why I mention it, just something that arrived in my mind when I was looking at the statistic of the year so far.  

But hey, let's not worry about that and move onto this, let's talk about strange songs and playing ten songs a day! 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.
