Music of the Day #25

These crazy musicians and their swarms of music! We have quite the mix this time around, with vocals and remixes beating instrumental in numbers for once! Find them below.

Nightly Roundup #499

Yeah, yeah. It's a little earlier tonight, like it was last night. You guys like to sleep right? Anyway, have some Luna tonight as I couldn't shake how beautiful the crescent moon was tonight. Luna really is a great mascot for the Roundup, eh?

Time for news! Check after the break for more!

New Game *Almost* On the Hub - My Little Majong

It looks like this My Little Mahjong is slowly being added to Hubworld.com.  Right now all we see is a spinning loading screen.  If it's actual Mahjong though, I'm pretty sure a good fraction of us are going to be completely addicted for a while!  Mahjong is dangerous!

Hopefully it's ready soon!  You can find the page here.

Thanks to Floof_Cat for the heads up.

Story: The Keepers of Discord

[Sad][Slice of Life]

Author: Hoopy McGee

Description: You'd think that being trapped in stone would mean that, if nothing else, I could get some peace and quiet. Unfortunately, it seems that Celestia has other ideas.

She has appointed these ponies... these 'Keepers', as she calls them, to keep me entertained during my incarceration.

Honestly? I'd prefer the boredom.

Story: The Dancer (Update Part 6!)

[Normal]

Author: Yipyapper

Description: Octavia's creativity pays off one day during a concert, where a special piece she adds as a finale brings out a new fan. But the fan appears out of nowhere, and no pony else seems to notice her but Octavia.

And all she does is dance.

Possible Canterlot art from Almost a Year Ago!

Artist Phil Caesar posted a whole pile of backgrounds up on his blog almost a year ago.   They appear to be as far back as November 2010 in post date. 

The cool part?  Some are completely un-aired Canterlot images, similar in art style to Trixie's image from a while back.  I don't know if these are from Season three, or were a part of an episode that just never went up, but they are definitely exploring a part of Canterlot that we have yet to see. 

I'm sure you all all agree once you see them, that these need an episode! Head on down past the break to check both out and avoid any spoilers.

Thanks to Ace Reporter Whatshisgame for the heads up!

Note: Some are confused on where Canterlot came from.  If you visit the actual blog post, the black and white versions read: "Canterlot Alley" and "Curio2"

Meghan McCarthy Interviewed on JustUs Geeks

TV Guide "Which TV Show has the Best Fans" Poll

Time to win another one of these poll things!  TV Guide has tossed up a "Best Fans" poll, with Friendship is Magic as one of the options.  They even included Rainbow Dash, who always wins.  Will you let Rainbow Dash lose? I think not. 

The contenders are pretty epic this time around, with everyone from Doctor Who to Lost aiming for the top. 

Now get over there and make Dash win!

iTunes Moves to "Volumes", Pony Prices Change

For those of you that get your pony episodes off iTunes, it looks like some pretty heavy modifications have gone into action over there.  Friendship is Magic is now listed in 13 episode "Volumes", 1-2 being season one, 3-4 being season two, and the fifth being season three. 

While this may be good for those of you that only want specific sections of a season, the price has gone up overall.  If you were to purchase all of season two (which was 49.99 in HD) for example, you could expect to pay an extra 10 dollars than you previously would at the new price of 30 per half. 

It also seems to have the negative side effect for some people of completely axing season one from their purchases.  Hopefully that will be fixed soon! Season two can still be found in the "purchased" tab, though they appear to be considered separate from the actual store page. 

It's kind of a mess to say the least!

Animation: Go

The creator of the Firestarter Spitfire tumblr has released a new animation that is apparently related to that earlier animation we posted a while back.  Obviously Spitfire needs more air time, so this can only be a good thing! Find it here.

Music: Miles- dBPony (feat. EileMonty)

We haven't tossed a nightly music post out in a while! Hope you are awake/not at school! 

dBPony  has dropped yet another song, this time dedicated to Applebloom.  Technically it completes his CMC trifecta. I'd say that's a pretty reasonable way to start off!  Go check it out after the break!
