Anyone else having problems adding MixCloud to Sonos? I hit the Add to sokos button, select 'I have an Account' then 'Authorise' and it boots up the MixCloud app when just loads a page saying content not found...

EDIT: Nevermind, was a problem with the browser automatically opening the app. Fixed it

For those who dont know. Todd in the Shadows does these music retrospectives on YouTube. His series, One Hit Wonderland takes a look ath the careers of bands and artists who only had one major hit (at least in the US).

This time the subject is Walking On Sunshine... And well we all know how this one ends up. (Side note, his comments on Eurovision arnt exactly flattering)

Been listening to this generated radio style playlist for a couple of months or so now, and interested to get peoples feedback and any suggestions on ways to improve or streamline it. This website is so powerful there's a good change there better ways to go about this!

I have about 5500 songs split up into playlists based on ratings 5 stars down to 1 star. Plus a few other playlists for the songs I'm obsessed with right now, or have been obsessed with in recent months and also my release radar. My basic goal was to rotate round these playlists in a set order, picking the least recently played from each one.

Some of the playlists are filtered by my 2000 most recently played Last.FM songs, others are filtered by a IFTTT generated Spotify playlist of my most recently played songs.

It's a great way of hearing the songs I love often without them playing so much that I get bored of them, throwing in songs I like but don't want to hear all the time plus with the release radar I get new music to spice things up.

Let me know your thoughts ☺️

Figured I'd post this here again as it's a great site which shows what results we need from the remaining games (updating live) to help us qualify! Let's hope after tonight we don't need it but still worth a look

Some nostalgia for everyone as to what we were all up to the last time Scotland played a world cup match. First of all yours truly was just 2 years old, but I guess there are people on here who remember it well and those who weren't even born.

Music:

Sadly there were plenty of England songs floating about the top 40. Scotland's only representation was Del Amitri clinging on at number 32 with Don't Come Home Too Soon.

Other 'highlights' from the top 40 include Aquas final UK number 1 'Turn Back Time' which had slipped down 10 places to 37. An All Saints double A side which includes the superior version of Under The Bridge. The greatest question ever asked in the history of pop music, "What's she gonna look like with a chimney on her?" from Feel It by The Tamperer and Maya was at 21. Voted as containing the worst lyric of all time by 6 Music, Life by Des'ree was at 15, just behind one of my favourite one hit wonders The Mavericks and Dance The Night Away. And Isreal's winning Eurovision entry Diva by Dana International was new in at 11.

The top 10 looked like this:

10. The Boy Is Mine by Brandy and Monica

11. Looking For Love by Karen Ramirez

12. Carnival de Paris by Dario G

13. Horny by Moose T Vs Hot N Juicy

14. Lost in Space by Lighthouse Family

15. Got The Feelin' by Five

16. C'est La Vie by B*Witched

17. Ghetto Superstar by Pras Michel & ODB & Mya

18. Vindaloo by Fat Lez

19. 3 Lions 98 by Baddiel, Skinner & Lightning Seeds

The less said about the top 2 the better so let's just pretend Pras was number 1.

Movies:

Nicolas Cage and Meg Ryan were sat atop the UK Box Office for the first of two weeks with the romantic fantasy City Of Angels, where Nic plays an angel who wants to become human after falling in love with Meg Ryan. It followed on from some other big films topping the box office, including The Wedding Singer, Deep Impact and Scream 2, but that years behemoth was Titanic which had spent 13 weeks of the year so far on top.

TV:

Obviously the world cup dominated the TV schedules this month, but at the start of the month John Leslie had just taken over from Bradly Walsh as host of Wheel of Fortune on ITV, and BBC officialy switched on it's Digital TV signal. Watercolour Challenge debut on Channel 4 and we had the final ever Screen 2 drama on BBC 2. Jason Searle won Stars in their Eyes performing as Neil Diamond.

Video Games:

Big year in gaming which saw the release of the Dreamcast and Game Boy Colour. But if you could prize yourself away from Konami's International Soccer Superstar 98 you might also have been playing Tekken 3, Resident Evil 2 StarCraft, Need for Speed 3: Hot Pursuit and we were just over a week away from the release of Banjo-Kazooie
