kittysneezes asked: There was no reference to get! Some pony was simply confused, which in turn, confuses me. All one needs to do is to look at a photo of any of the Beatles to see they are not beetles. And beetles are very proud creatures, so they'd never resort to a disguise. Trust me, the two may share a similar-sounding name (and bass ability), but that is where the similarities end.

Okay! I’ll just take your word for it!

I’ll see what I can do. I know it’s important to still put out content while working on something larger!

jmg1234-deactivated20140425 asked: simon plays french horn

Who is Simon?

kittysneezes asked: Sadly, I don't think beetles can help with brass. You might ask some of the melodica-beetles if they can sub, but melodicas are much closer to keyboards than other wind instruments (brass and reeds), so I don't know if you'd have much luck. For brass, you might look into echidnas. I hear they blow a mean horn.

This is all very confusing…

kittysneezes asked: The Beatles were not beetles. They did have a bass, but I don't believe they ever used melodica. The band is IRRELEVANT.

I didn’t get the reference, anyway.

kittysneezes asked: It's totally the hive-mind thing going on. Though smaller-than-normal instruments DO help.

That’s something to keep in mind, I guess…

Of course, what I could really use is somepony that can play a brass instrument.

ask-twilight replied to your post: to clear it up, beatles is a name of a 60s band
Still sorry about that.

It was my fault for having an opinion, I guess. Nothing you can be blamed for!

Yes. Twilight and I had an exchange about them not long ago. Poo was flung and rage was had by many blogrunners.

I was disappoint.

Tag!

You’re it, little guy!

kittysneezes asked: Oh, I understand, you're a busy pony. Though, perhaps beetles can help with the music? I hear beetles are particularly good at playing bass and melodica.

Those would have to be some very organized beetles, or very small instruments!

Anonymous asked: Title Screen/Plantation, Grasstown, or Moonsong.

I only see one of those on the list.

How about I just give you the website and you tell me which one, in case the names are different?

Scroll down to where it says Cave Story (obviously).

kittysneezes asked: So, DO you like beetles?

I don’t have anything against them.

Sorry I can’t draw you a picture this time. All this music stuff just absorbs so much time… I’m already way behind!

jmg1234-deactivated20140425 asked: but trust me, once you see what an IED can do if you step on it, then getting shot is slow

Yes… I imagine an explosion would do much more damage far faster than a bullet…

jmg1234-deactivated20140425 asked: dang, thought i could get that one past you. but then sometimes they shoot the mag on our vests and 1 of 2 things hapen 1) they go off, endangering your comrads. 2) the mag is damaged and can't be used anymore. but even if they don't get shot, there's still a danger of them cooking off (look it up)

Well please don’t try to ‘get one past me!’ I try really hard to keep this page clean!

Cooking off does sound bad. The whole thing just sounds… so terrifying…

Anonymous asked: A suggestion. Maybe you could try to do something from Cave Story?

Well… I’ve never played it, but this isn’t the first time I’ve been asked.

And I have found a website that has sheet music for it since last time. Anything in particular you’d like to hear?
