Nightly Roundup #1284

Spotlight and Rocket getting some love from an artist named Aria. I for one welcome more art of them! You all need to do that more.

...Please?

I added a few categories to this one, specifically Audio books and Analysis in their own sections. Unfortunately we can't edit calpains template very easily, but I'll bug him about it when he gets back from his trip. If there are any others you want to see, let us know in comments!

PUNK Rock - Power Ponies GO!

Part of our music changes means we want to single post a bit more of the really neat ones. This falls into that category! The Power Ponies got some original punk rock today from a new guy going by the name of Crusader, and it's awesome.

Head on down below the break to listen to it!

Album Compilation - January

Due to popular demand, we are once again doing album compilations! Hopefully some of that rekindled music love in the fandom will help them out a bit.

One thing we have always had trouble with on these is reviewing the sheer wall of tracks that come in with them. Unfortunately we are still looking for a good solution to that.

If you want an album up, it has to be both pony (with pony imagery/song titles/remixes) and you need to be someone we have posted before. Hopefully this makes it a bit easier, as we tend to get a LOT of albums from people that haven't ever touched the pony music scene for whatever reason. You can get the complete info on album submission below the songs!

Anyway, get a ton of music below and support the people you love!

Spotlight Electronic Music: Ponez / Chromatica

Wow, these songs rock. Something I'd find while randomly wandering Monstercat or something. If you like electronic music, GO LISTEN! I'm not even a huge fan of house usually and my dl button is on fire today. 

1.) DJT & iblank2apples - Ponez (Instrumental - Electro House)
2.) Aurelleah - Chromatica (Future Dash Theme) (Instrumental - Melodic Electrostep)

Brian Lenard Leaves Pony and Heads to ABC for Pretty Little Liars

One of the big production guys behind Friendship is Magic and Equestria Girls has left according to his Twitter page. Brian Lenard dropped the message above, confirming his switch over to Walt Disney Studios. We don't have any information on who his replacement will be yet, but hopefully they are just as good!

(Update: Apparently Pretty Little Liars isn't Disney, but done at Disney Studios with ABC. Yeah we were confused too.)

Drawfriend Stuff #1765

See? She cares. The whole taking over Equestria thing is just because she cares so much! Look at what a commendable parent she is. Her drones are in good squishy hooves.

Photo Finish, Adagio Dazzle, Science Twilight, and More Minis Announced, Plus Explore Equestria Brushables

Hasbro is really going all out on the new Equestria Girls Mini lineup. The promised 25 characters definitely seem to be on the way.

10 new mini figures in both set and singles have been added to Amazon's listing, including Adiagio Dazzle and Photo Finish. The theme here is "rockin", and with Adiago it's not too far fetched to think that these will be based entirely on Rainbow Rocks.

Joining them, we have a few new Explore Equestria brushables, mainly non-show or background ponies.

Head on down below the break for the listing of all of them!

MLP: Friends Forever #24 Released Today! - Download Links, Variants, Discussion!

You seriously could not have paired up two more dissimilar characters than these two. Yes, this pairing beats out even Shining Armor and Prince Blueblood teaming up for Friends Forever 26.

Which was another team up I never thought I would see in this series.

Anyways, today is the day to find out how Rarity's little uniform designing session goes for the Griffonstone Boffyball team. Judging by Gilda's face on both covers, I say it's going to be an enjoyable affair.

But you don't have to take my word for it. The links below, as always, contain all the answers!
