Ten Random Tracks A Day For 2026: 25th June to 1st July

 

Picture taken by Christelle Wehbe and from Pexels, great picture Christelle!

Week 26 people, as Bon Jovi said, we are half way there! And by Christ, is it not stupidly hot at the time of writing this opening.  I mean so hot that clothes are being drained of colour as they are dry on the line.  Also, there is a event in the US happening called The World Cup (football, or soccer if you are from east of the UK), which I am trying to avoid.  It is not holding my interest at all, but that is not really a surprise.  I've nothing against the game itself, mostly the armchair fans who do my nut in, shouting that they could do better themselves, which I am sure they could not.  If you enjoy it, have a great time, I'll be over here playing my records.

And what diamonds have I been listening to this week dear readers? Well, 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.
