Such honse. The final monthly Top 10 for 2022 is here! I’m sure nobody would be surprised to hear that plenty of P@D: Wanderlust releases made the cut, but you gotta check it out to see which ones came out on top…

And keep an eye out for the Top 25 of 2022, the voting for that should be opening up any day now 👀

Are you a brony music enjoyer looking for a way to contribute to the fandom this new year? We’re looking for more people to join our staff as writers to help us keep posting about new fandom music as it’s released!

We’re looking for people who:

• Enjoy a variety of musical genres and willing to learn how to write about a range of music – being able to write about different genres will give you greater flexibility in the role, and it means there should always be something from our list you can write up.
• Can dedicate at least 1 hour per week – our number 1 rule is that real life comes first, but in the long term we would like new writers to be able to write a couple of posts per week, each of which should hopefully take up less than 30 mins of your time.
• Are proficient in English – you don’t need to be a native speaker, but good English makes things easier for you to write posts and for editors to edit them.
• Use Discord – we run all operations on a staff Discord server, so this is a must.

We provide training for all new writers on how to write articles for HMH, from WordPress and all its quirks to the best way to describe sounds. If you’re interested, get in touch with me on Discord: Spectra#9057 spectramakesmusic (thanks, discord)

Happy new year! New year means new month which means it’s time to vote for your favourites from December. As always, the voting form is available here and for a reminder about which songs were released last month, check Luck Rock’s complete December playlist.

Burning Mare is back again for its seventh edition, bringing in the new year 2023 with a huge online concert. It was originally scheduled for 2 days of music, but I guess the organisers decided that wasn’t enough; there’s now a VR pre-party today in collaboration with Myriad, a VR party organiser, before the mane event kicks off tomorrow! You can expect some surprises on NYE itself too, with 3 guests still to be announced 👀

You can watch the concert on Burning Mare’s Twitch channel and join in with other party-goers in their Discord server.

The Rave for the House of Belles, the annual charity summer concert run by former and current HMH writers Emma and Drake, is returning this weekend for a holiday special! Promising another 2 days of performances, you can expect not only a variety of DJ sets with genres from trance to deathstep, but also the debut live performance from Painters & Poets, Acouste Wholenote and SlightlyAmiss’ alt rock duo!

As before, the concert is running in effort to raise awareness and money for their friend Mezair, a plush maker, as her father battles stage 4 Lymphoma. Donations made to her Ko-fi will go towards cancer-related expenses and emergency veterinary care. Plush commissions (more info available here) will also help support these.

To tune in, you can watch the event livestream on Emma’s YouTube channel Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 December, starting at 3pm Eastern each day, and join the Rave’s discord server to chat with other concert-goers and performers.

November’s community top 10 is here! Apparently a record number of songs (from stats this year) were in the running this time around. There’s even one or two in here that I hadn’t heard myself!

Can you believe it’s December already? That can only mean one thing…that’s right; the Top Ten Brony Songs voting is open for songs from November! Voting is open until 8 Dec at 7pm UTC at this form here, and Luck’s made his monthly playlist again in case you need a reminder of what songs could be eligible. Now, go exercise your democratic right as a user of the Equestrian internet!
