Ten Random Tracks A Day For 2026: 29th October to 4th November

Week 44 of 52, we are in the endgame of the year with shorter days in the Northern hemisphere. By the tine I post this, Halloween would have passed, the skies will soon be full of fireworks in the UK for Guy Fawkes night.  Part of this is great (Halloween), part will suck (fireworks, scares my cats), but all of it will be amazing.  I do miss lighter nights, but it is all part & parcel of living in the UK.  And yes, lots of spooky movies are being watched at the moment.

But I will leave my Frankenstein obsession behind, as I must tell you how in the blue hell-scape of space did we get here and these posts? 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.
