Day 15:  Your favourite tumblers

I need to start my saying that to write this post I began to look through pinterest as I sort of follow tumblrs vicariously through it.  And in my usual fashion of doing 1001 things at once I accidentally deleted one of my boards - the one with all my favourite quotes on it.  It was like I almost died, like a little part of me is now lost forever.  Back button didn't work.  I gasped and said a very quiet because the baby is sleeping "noooooooooooooooo!".  Horrific.  Anywho, my pinterest followers are going to see a tonne of quotes coming through as I need to replace this little part of me. Grrr, stupid stupid stupid.

Anywaay... I don't necessarily follow tumblrs as such.  Like I said above I follow them through what others have posted on pinterest.  There are a couple of good fitness ones that I frequent and I love bookfessions because it speaks to me. These sorts always make me giggle as they're so true.  One of my 101 challenges is to do the 30 day drawing challenge and I think I ay use tumblr to accumulate these in one place.

Day 16: Your views on mainstream music

I must say, I needed to do this before I began writing this...

Not because I necessarily needed a definition, I know what is meant by 'mainstream music' as such but I wonder what would constitute as not 'mainstream' nowadays with the boom of the internet and pretty much being able to get into whatever music you want with a bunch of others who like it too.

My question returned with this little gem from wikipedia;
"Mainstream music denotes music that is familiar and unthreatening to the masses".
PS:  What did we do before google?  Oh that's right, 'ask jeeves' *shudder*.

So... my thoughts on music that is familiar and unthreatening to the masses?  Great!  Can't really complain about nice, clean boppy little tunes can I. Of course - there's always something to offend someone nowadays.  Something like Katy Perry for example that I would find fairly unthreatening is quite offensive to some who say that a role model for young girls should not be dressing in such skimpy clothes or having some of the lyrics she has. And don't get me started on the video for the new LMFAO song.... disturbing I'm sure to those who know that many children would see this video, and probably enjoy the melody etc. But fairly unthreatening to me.

In conclusion.  I like a vast range of music, mainstream included and to give you a short sharp view:  on the whole, I like it!
