Music of the Day #47

The music just keeps on bombarding.  We have 22 this time around! Can you handle it? Luna can.  Luna can handle anything.  

Check them out below! 

Disney PMV's - Lion King

This kind of makes me want to go watch Lion King.  I've been meaming to do that for years, but never get around to it.

Anyway, have a PMV for each song after the break!

Story: The Griffin's Apprentice (Update Part 3!)

[Adventure] An unlikely duo highlights a interesting take on the life of one of our favorite background ponies. -Pre-Reader #13

Author: Perpetual Lurker

Description: Lyra Heartstrings' instrument of choice is an odd one, for a pony, at least. Then again, she had an odd teacher, too. When that teacher's legacy leads to Lyra being summoned before the High Council of the Griffin Empire, a desperate for work Gilda accepts a job as bodyguard for the unicorn, and the two become involved in events far larger than they ever could have imagined.

TV.com's Best of 2012 Animated Series

I'm honestly surprised they kept this poll up considering how broken it was, but FiM won it regardless, so I guess it's not that big a deal! Congrats everyone!  I have no clue what will happen from here outside of the winner sticker, but I guess it's an accomplishment right?  

Spotlight Music: Dinkies mum (parody) / Tortur / Scootaloominator

We start this one off with a parody of Stacy's Mom, followed by two death metal tracks to finish it off! That's a lot more death metal than we usually get! Check them out below!

1.) Dinkies mum (parody)
2.) Tortur - Winter Wrap Up (Death Metal)
3.) Underoath X MLP - Scootaloominator Ft. NightmareSnake

Comic: Unexpected in... / Apple Jack Favors / An Epidemic... / A Favor Too... The Adademy... / La La La

Piles of comics! Some of them might require a trip down to the description to "get", while others are pretty basic in their own right.  Click for full!

Drawfriend Stuff #674

Princess Sugarlicious Bonquisha Shanana Sparkle Do edition, because she is best pony.   I've been told she is not best pony by people that do not understand the term epic (everyone but me), but any pony that wears a party hat and wields a keyblade is awesome in my book. 

In fact, have a song to go with her. 

Have some much less epic ponies after the break!

PMV: Canterlot City Theme

We haven't had a single PMV Post in forever!  It's about time we get something awesome to toss up in this category! And for once it's not dubstep, imagine that!

Check out Canterlot City Theme below the break!

Tabitha St. Germain on Celestia Radio Today

Luna! Rarity! Derpy!  Tabitha does them all!  She is being interviewed over on Celestia Radio at 5:00 PM EST.  If you want to join in and listen to what she has to say, hit up their website over here!

Spotlight Vocal Music: Drink This Beer / Stick Around / Winter

I've honestly never had a beer! I know a bunch of you have though!  We have a parody of Raise this Barn to start with, an original from Mandopony in the middle, and an acoustic track to finish it off! It's vocal time. 

1.) Drink This Beer (Raise this Barn parody)
2.) Stick Around - Original MLP Song by MandoPony
3.) Winter - Zatslol (Original)

Artist Training Ground - Service Edition Submissions

After a thousand years of raising both the sun and the moon solo, I'm sure Celestia was a bit bored of the routine.  Clearly a theme song was needed to spice it up a bit!

The submissions are in for the last training ground until episodes start up again in a few weeks! 133 of you drew ponies helping out their fellow equine in various ways, or twisted it into oblivion and did something completely crazy.  Good work! I think I even saw a napkin or two in there. 

You know the drill by this point! Head on down past the break to check out all the entries. 

Story Updates - January 3

Steamdash edition! Because Steamdash is awesome. 

Have some stories. 

Story: Warmth

[Sad][Slice of Life] The opening quote from Hemingway is appropriate, as this work captures some of that author's cold, austere subtlety. This is a short work that explores the loneliness some feel at the holidays. -Pre-Reader #13

Author: Dark Avenger

Description: Hearth's Warming Eve. The wondrous celebration of friendship, warmth and joy, held during the most cold and unforgiving days of winter.

Everypony wishes for something on this day: presents, good fortune, excitement, perhaps even true love. Whatever it may be, above all, they wish for nothing but happiness.

Every year, by the end of this day, some of them will find that their wish had not been granted.

Game: Rainbow Dash's Cloud Dodging FUN / Muffin Catcher

Click to dodge clouds

At first... it's your usual cloud dodging game. 

But then... It's not your usual cloud dodging game.

Now go dodge clouds.

And if cloud dodging isn't your thing, have a parody of that Kirby game, because Kirby was amazing back in the day.

Welovefine Shirt Update

Now that the holiday season has begun to wind down, it looks like Welovefine is rolling out a few more shirts.  This time around we have another one of those completely covered shirts, dedicated to pretty much every expression/version of Pinkie in the show, as well as a bit of Nightmare Moon.  Head on over here if you want to check out their store pages!
