Anonymous asked: I was afraid you meant that one
I can't imagine it changed
Not a bad thing - I'm just saying, that seems hella hard on your end

The changes I’m making are to keep it accurate to how the song sounds, which is not how the sheet music sounds. I’m sure if I had the official sheet music this would be a piece of cake. As is, I’m going off some midi sheet music that, as near as I can tell, doesn’t even sync up with the actual midi its posted with!

But no… It’s not going to be great. Hopefully it’ll still be okay.

Anonymous asked: Spoonman?

Yeah. You know, Spoonman!

Ugh…

This Spoonman cover is killing me… I thought it was going to be awesome because for once I found the complete sheet music for a piece (that is, the parts for every instrument), but the drumline is missing, there’s unexplained beat measure errors throughout the sheet music (like, the note count just doesn’t add up) and the piece is abridged when I thought it was the full piece and every time I try to fix something I mess something else up!

Right now I only have half of the core bassline done, and there’s like, three flippin basslines and three leads! The measures are all screwed up so I’m going to have to listen to the song like a hundred times to try and get the core lead to sync up with the bass and I’m losing it here!!

I’m just going to try and get the core lead caught up, sweep this out the door and move on to something else… If I’m lucky, it’ll still sound like the source material. If I’m incredibly lucky, I’ll have it done late tonight.

Anonymous asked: Have you ever heard of a pony named Sapphire Ocean? Because he drew a picture of somepony he claims to be your sister. umm, in case you want to know, he is Sapphireocean on deviantart.

… I gave it a look. I don’t know why. She’s probably just related to one of the other Lyras. Not really any way of knowing…

Anonymous asked: You've probably been asked this before, but what drew you to play the lyre over other instruments?

You’re right, I have. In fact, the link for more information is on my sidebar. But I’ll just give you the link here.

Hey, Bon-Bon!
Somepony was asking me about your cooking. Is there anything you make that I seem to like? Also, do you mostly bake or…? Actually, I have no idea what else there is other than baking!

Well, you tend to ask about those Chocolate Cookies from time to time, but other than that, you don’t really ask for much at all. xD;
As for how I cook, that’s my secret!
I guess baking is one form of what I do. :)

Okay, so there you go, anonpony! Chocolate Cookies!

Edit: Also, remember you can ask Bon-Bon questions too!

I’m back from a lovely weekend in Canterlot. However, on Friday I suddenly remembered why I don’t speak with my mother.

Sorry, Lyra. I can’t help but feel somewhat responsible.

Anonymous asked: Rap-rock band
It's where the.. really censored part came from, with "MAN we nasty!"
Not *all* their songs are like that, but those are the most popular :X
They have some with good messages
and some that are totally emo
but mostly sexual

Oh.

Um… Sounds… Uh…

Varied?

I like That Handsome Devil, sometimes… If that’s at all related.

I love that this was drawn blending two different styles together!

Anonymous asked: Aw, don't you know Hollywood Undead? XD

Doesn’t ring a bell. I don’t watch many zombie movies, if that’s what that is.

I liked Zombieland.
