A slightly late feature for Vinyl Octavia day, this is nonetheless a really funky electro swing-style piece from BlueBrony that bops around with a pretty infectious groove. There's some great piano work combining well with swing-y synths and brass sounds. Give it a go below!

Last week I referenced MLP FiM #23, so I think it only fair to give the comic itself a review.
This comic featured an unlikely set of protagonists and certainly left its mark upon the fandom.
Check out the review after the break but watch out for spoilers!

I wish I had some folks crushing on me though I think I'd react the same way as Sugar Belle if they came on that strongly.

Elias brings some folk metal, and it's nice to hear some original vocal music from him, which he doesn't tend to do that often. His vocals alternate between clean and more raspy, with some great use of softer and more metal instrumentation. The vocals tell of a place where dishonoured ponies are imprisoned, and does it very well. Give it a listen below the break!

[Dark][Romance]
Author: Corejo
Description: Darkness holds dominion over the world. Cinders of Sun and Moon gathered from a long-forgotten catastrophe are all that remain to shelter the village from the consuming void. But their power wanes. Lanterns of Sun and Moon held close against his chest, a stallion takes up the mantle of light bearer and forges into the abyss to return light to a world that has all but forgotten it.
Beyond the safety of the village gates, he will meet a voice of shadows and starlight, and many are the revelations it has of the world he thought he knew so well.

I love comics. I will not deny it. The comics medium as a whole is wonderful, but one of the greatest aspects of them in the internet age are webcomics. There are a few comics I follow with any regularity, and as it just so happens, Marry Me is one of them.
Written by Bobby Crosby, and Illustrated by Remy "Eisu" Mokhtar, Marry Me is the story of a Pop Star named Stasia who, in a fit of frustration with her love life, decides to marry the first shmuck she spots holding a "Marry Me" sign at her latest concert. That shmuck is named Guy, and he's holding the sign which belongs to his best friend Parker.
I should probably mention this is the very first chapter in the story, and it only crazier from there.
So, why should Bronies care about a plot-driven-romantic-comedy? Well, there is two main reasons, The first is Keenspot has been printing the comic in physical form for a few months now! The second is the MLP Parody Cover for the 7th issue of the series, which has been illustrated by well known Brony Fan Artist John Josceco.
You should go buy it to support not just a fantastic series, but also a fellow Brony!
The Diamond Order Code for the comic is MAY171164, and the comic has a tentative release date of July 26th, 2017.
Now because this comic is from Keenspot and not Marvel/DC/IDW/Dark Horse/etc, not every comic shop is going to carry this comic. Currently the series is listed on Midtown Comics, and up to issue 5, however your best bet to pre-order the comic now is to go to your local comic shop and politely ask them to order it for you. Please give them the Diamond Order Code when you ask. It will make their life and yours so much easier.

Some Trixie-flavoured metal from SDreamExplorerS in the next track from his imminent album release! This one tells the tale of Trixie's exile after Magic Duel, and I'm certainly impressed by the depth of character through the song. As with the last couple of releases from the album, there's a thoroughly enjoyable melodic death metal instrumental backed up well by the aggressive vocals. Give it a listen below!

Not long ago we got some new info from the June Programming Highlights that showed we were getting the Equestria Girls Specials later that month and into July while the season would be put on hold with the mid-season finale being 'Not Asking for Trouble' on June 17th.
Now we have the July Programming Highlights and there is no MLP in sight, save for the two Equestria Girls Specials that takes place early that month. The usual place where it would appear, under returning series, shows only one show called Blazing Team.
Looks like we might not be getting new episodes till August from Discovery at this rate.
Thanks to Loperse for sending it in!

Can't have a music pony day without a music pony post! We've seen these two dominate the scene for years now with every genre on the planet, and quite a few songs have gone absolutely huge over the years. I know I'm probably not the only one that had a few of these on repeat for a month.

More Equestria Girls on the Way!
by Calpain
Looks like we can be expecting some more Equestria Girls in the future! Some of you were wondering where the shorts we had seen in Russian were in the specials but as it turns out it appears that they will be little shorts we can expect this year!
Check after the break for the tweet and source on the information. The guy usually goes to expos and such so his information is usually correct.

Suskii returns with the next track from his upcoming Changeling-centric EP, Bugsquad, put together with fellow producer Cyfr. This track has some pretty awesome electro-style sound design through the track, and the ominous Changeling hive feel is present throughout and well presented by the break melody especially. Give it a listen below!

With the flood of these brushables hitting Amazon, it's not surprising that a few of them are sneaking into stores now. Princess Skystar was spotter at Target, though none of the other movie specific characters were. Hopefully this means the flood is coming soon!
As always, it is highly recommended that you call before making the trip. Target releases can be pretty random.

Octavia and Vinyl have been some of the most popular background characters since they appeared way back in season 1 with their popularity being famously acknowledged in episode 100! Since then many theories about the two have been created and they've been a popular pairing for shippers in the fandom.
So what do you guys think? What sort of dream episode would you want from these two if they ever got one, what do you like about their characters and the themes surrounding them, or even what irks you about how the fandom has portrayed them?
Discuss it all in the comments!
