There's nothing worse than the feeling of going through a major music drought. You know what I'm talking about; you're sick of hearing the same five songs over and over and over again. Maybe you listen to the radio in your car, and everything in the charts is boring you to tears, maybe your iPhone's library hasn't been updated in a year or so, or maybe you're just looking to dip your toe into a new artist, or want to download that classic album you loved when you were growing up, but lost somewhere down the line.

The only trouble is that buying new music and apps on your phone can be a bit pricey, and it's tough to justify forking out for that brain training game when it's coming close to the end of the month. So what can you do? If you're like me, you need these technological advancements to relax, and who can't make it through the working day without them. Wouldn't it be amazing if someone could gift you the money to buy something a little extra for yourself, without your bank balance taking a serious hit? Thankfully, TopCashback has come to the rescue, so you can rest easy knowing that getting new music and features for your phone isn't an impossible dream.

So how does one obtain this coveted gift card? Well don't you worry: it's all very easy to get your head around. Allow me to talk you through it. This offer is only valid for new members, so you need to head over to TopCashback and sign up for their service to create an account. You will then be directed to the offer page where you can purchase an iTunes card for yourself, and then TopCashback will send the card straight to your email address and pay you back 100 percent of the money into your account with them.

Just in case you thought I was bluffing, I'll just repeat that one more time: the good Samaritans over at TopCashback are offering iTunes lovers the opportunity to bag themselves a £15 iTunes gift card, to use on whatever you like. If you're not a music-lover (heaven forbid) then you can console yourself by purchasing a movie, tv-show or app to enjoy any time instead.

Pretty simple, right? Yeah, that's what I thought. I'm already planning on picking up some new tunes to listen to over fall. All in all, it's a great deal, and who knows? You might encounter the app to make your life easier than ever before. Just make sure you redeem the offer before it expires on 14/10/18 23:59!

It doesn't matter where you live, when the sun is out for the summer, you want to make the most of it. However, staging your ultimate outdoor party can prove tricky without a lot of prior organizing.

Take music, for example. While it's easy enough to play on smartphones and tablets, it's often not loud enough to be enjoyed outside - and cables from indoor devices just don't stretch into gardens.

But that won't be a problem for Brits thanks to the budget supermarket B&M.

Pictured above is a wireless, Bluetooth enabled speaker complete with its own built-in flames. It was initially priced £19.99 ($25.32), but it's now been permanently reduced to £14.99 ($18.99) in time for summer!

Dubbed the iHip Flame Speaker, it can be connected to any of your devices through Bluetooth. But perhaps best of all, with its builtin LED flame effect, it will act as an ambient (and useful) addition to any garden.

Unsurprisingly, the product has been advertised as suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

This find was made known to the world by a Facebook user in the group  Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook. They wrote: "Currently £14.99 ($18.99) in B&M, light is good and sound quality is good too!"

Understandably, users of the group were quick to commend the find as a must-have accessory this summer.

One wrote: "We need one for my garden."

Another remarked: "Gunna grab one for the garden. Handy down the bottom in the bbq area."

So, if you're based in the UK and want to snap up this bargain, simply locate your nearest B&M with this store locator tool.

Don't fret if you're further afield either. A similar product can be purchased from Lightbulbs-direct.com for £23.12 ($29.30).

Some of the inventions we have these days would have George Orwell spinning in his grave. Just think about it: all our laptops and mobile devices have built-in microphones, our Sat Navs and fitness trackers and pedometers can give pretty much anyone information on where we are at any given time, and we hardly need our homes to be fitted with cameras to monitor us because we do it ourselves by uploading selfies every five minutes. I don't mean to sound like some whacky conspiracy theorist here, but, come on guys - if someone really wanted to spy on us, they wouldn't have to try all that hard to do. After all, how many times have you said, "Hey Siri", and not given a second thought to who might be listening through the phone? Or asked Alexa to add something to your shopping list without suspecting that it might be storing all your daily habits in some secret file somewhere? More to the point - were you even aware that Google actually keeps your audio every time you ask one of its friendly interfaces a question? Yes, every time you ask trusty old Google who sang that one Christmas jingle you like, or whether or not Lapland is actually a real place (it is, by the way), the powers that be are storing away your aimless curiosities for no apparent reason. Fortunately, there is a way you can salvage your late night wonderings about possible ways to prevent a hangover, or how many calories are in eight pints of beer. All you have to do is follow these simple steps: 1. Go to your Google history 2. Click the hamburger icon at the top of the page 3. Go to 'Voice and Audio Activity' 4. Check through the list and see if there's any embarrassing evidence you want to delete 5. Click on one of the squares to get rid of your chosen selection Oh, and if it wasn't already weird enough that Google is keeping tabs on how many times you're blatantly using its functions to cheat in a pub quiz, the internet giant also has a record of where you've been. If you go on to Google maps, you can find a feature called 'Timeline', which is apparently only visible to you (and anyone who has access to your computer, obviously). It keeps track of everywhere you've been while your location services are on and allows you to look back on where you were at a particular time. I mean, I can think of at least half a dozen ways in which this type of application could be abused in the wrong hands, but hey, Google seems to think it's a helpful feature. So, now you know the secrets to covering up your own incriminating evidence - and snooping through anyone else's, should you get the chance (not that I'm condoning it). It should also be said that, even though these services are obviously very safe and secure, it's important to be aware of what sorts of data people have on you - because you never know how it may be used against you in the future.

A wedding DJ has started a debate on social media after revealing the ludicrous amount of money he was making just for playing a Spotify playlist.

While there are a few fan-favorite songs that are bound to be heard at many weddings, most people would assume that DJs vary the soundtrack depending on the reception.

However, TikToker Mr. Fireworks (who goes by @mr__fireworks on the platform) debunked that myth in a video where he shows just how little work he needed to put into one particular wedding set.

Shared on May 12, the viral clip shows a buzzing wedding reception from the DJ's perspective. People can be seen bopping along to the music on the dance floor. But when the camera zooms in on Mr. Fireworks' laptop, we see that all he's done to get the party swinging is stick on a playlist titled 'Top 200 Wedding Party Songs' on Spotify.

Check out the video below:

"White weddings be like," the DJ captioned his video sarcastically.

The clip has already racked up over 4.7 million views and thousands of comments. Many people were outraged by Mr. Fireworks' DJ-ing technique.

"Many DJ’s actually do something you know. You aren’t supposed to be like 'oh the song ended… okay there’s the next one,'" one user wrote.

"A good DJ doesn't randomly play songs from a playlist. You pick songs based on energy levels, amount of people on the floor, age, and other demographics," another person commented. Mr. Firework's retorted: "A good DJ gets paid $4,000."

Other users agreed with Mr. Fireworks that he was only doing the same things as every other DJ. "That's every DJ ever lol," one wrote, while another added: "Finally a DJ admits that they just running a playlist."

Meanwhile, for many, the TikTok was enough to convince them that hiring a DJ is a waste of money. "That’s why I would never hire a DJ. Just make your own playlist people," one person commented. Another agreed, writing: "And this is why I will never hire a DJ. Band or playlist. Simple as that."
