In this blog, I will be sharing some of the best audio that I have been able to retrieve in the brony fandom. It's no secret that music happens to be one of the pony fandom's most amazing features. The music share will at times be recognizable, but other times inviting. I hope to entertain by helping your recall some of the greatest musical creations in this fandom while at the same time, perhaps introducing you to gems you were not aware of.

So let's get started! I will be doing two songs per blog post, but I intend to update frequently. With indecision as to where to start, I figured the best way to dive into the musical part of the fandom would be to find songs topical by Friendship is Magic episode. So I will be releasing them in order of relevance with the episodic order.

So...

Episode 1: Friendship is Magic Part 1

My Little Pony Intro (Glitch Remix)

DJ Alex S.

Show Remix (glitch)

This is where it all started. And even though it didn't start with this song per se, it sure feels like when you listen to it. Unfortunately, its rather difficult finding a song that encompasses the first half of the show's pilot. But I wouldn't ask for it to be any different. This song encompasses two great things. The intro song to our beloved cartoon, and the mixings and mashings of the influence of pop culture and creative bronies.

If you've never heard of Alex S., you're either living under a rock, or you're new. Alex S. is famous in the fandom for several remixes, that which will most likely be featured in future posts in this blog. However, Alex S. said he's done doing pony remixes and songs. Reason being that he wants his music to take a more serious topic, which I can understand.

I love this particular remix because it illustrated, even early on in the fandom, that bronies are capable of some pretty amazing-sounding mixes. And it was also the moment when I realized music on the radio was no longer that great. This song exemplifies why I have taken strong interest in independent artists, and not just in pony, but everywhere. The creative vibes that this 'little girls cartoon' made never ceases to amaze me, and with simple, yet catchy glitch remixes like this one, we're only shaving the tip of the iceberg when talking about the quality and depth of music this fandom has produced.

Episode 2: Friendship is Magic Part 2

Giggle at the Ghostly (Ponyhouse Mix)

JackleApp

Show Remix (techno)

Don't worry, I wont be always doing show remixes. Quite frankly, original music has always struck me more excited that remixes from show songs. But for now, we've stumbled upon two exceptions. With another exception, coming from another amazing brony music contributor. JackleApp is active in the fandom's music community that is still coming out with some amazing songs. Shortly after his first wave of remixes, he began orchestrating his own songs, most of them generated with a chill and mellow electric feel.

Giggle at the Ghostly (Ghostie?), or rather what Daniel Ingram, the writer of the original music, calls the "Laughter Song," was the first song in the series. I don't know about you, but when I watched the episode at that slightly annoying Pink pony started bouncing into song, I said to myself, oh man, this is going to be unpleasant to the ears. I cringed at first with the expected reaction of listening to something that would make me feel immature at myself. Instead, I realized by the time the song ended that not only did it have a pretty tolerable tune, but that it was also enjoyable.

What would result several weeks later is mountains, and I mean TONS of remixes from aspiring brony musicians, experimentalists, and lovers of the show. Some of the remixes were rapped, some were glitched. JackleApp's here was techno'd, and its very unique. I like this remix the most of all the Laughter Song remixes because this one stands alone as being creative, while maintaining the integrity of the greatness the short song was. Sometimes, remixes drown out what made the original song great in the first place. The best remixes amplify what makes a song great, and twists it into a new catchy melody or style. And this remix does just that.

JackleApp will also be featured in future blog posts, as his music selection and quality is extensive. I can't wait to share more of his music, simply because he has gone 100% original.
