I'm sure a lot of you enjoy, as I do, Vinny & Drew's amazing collection of royalty-free songs that we get to listen sometimes on the livestreams. Searching though AudioNetwork (which's very likely the website they acquired most of their catalog) we have found these:

Thanks for this!

I want the dubstep one so bad.

Thanks love the music but never know who or what it came from

I just realised that we need more livestreams. Livestream every day!

#7 Posted by monkey523 (168 posts) - 2 months, 25 days ago

@pr1mus: not sure which one you'd like, but here's the dubstep track from the farming simulator quick look, titled Robot Laser Death

#8 Edited by Pr1mus (2417 posts) - 2 months, 25 days ago

@eujin: Yes! That's the one. Thanks!

@monkey523: Triplestep is what i was looking for. The one they've been playing lately during the "please stand by" screen before livestreams.

#9 Posted by Kinapuff (179 posts) - 2 months, 25 days ago

That party hard song is.. far too catchy.

#10 Edited by Eujin (1003 posts) - 2 months, 25 days ago

@pr1mus: Glad I could help. I only found out because I messaged Drew about it a while back. I've posted about it before, but I don't enjoy music, and when something has earwig properties and gets stuck in my head (music theory about using certain beats to make people get it stuck in their head even if they don't like the song) it drives me nuts so I have to listen to it on repeat two or three times to get it done with.

To head off the questions that people usually bring up: Yes, I really do not listen to music. At most I have some nostalgic memories for Castlevania music, and have heard one or two songs over the years that are ok, but I do not actively listen to music in any form as I don't really get enjoyment out of it.

#11 Posted by Forcen (1496 posts) - 2 months, 25 days ago

@theht: YES, looked over and over in the bastion soundtrack for that one!

#12 Posted by Musou (319 posts) - 2 months, 25 days ago

@Eujin @TheHT Thanks duders! Added the links you posted to OP.

#13 Posted by SirOptimusPrime (1555 posts) - 2 months, 25 days ago

@forcen: Actually there is a string sample that at least has the same progression as around ~0:28 in Bynn the Breaker on the Bastion soundtrack.

Then it kind of diverges, but yeah thanks for bringing this site to light @Musou! There's some hot jams there.

#14 Posted by RazielCuts (1701 posts) - 2 months, 25 days ago

I've always thought the 'Party Hard' one was Ke$ha or of that same ilk and I've guiltily liked it (I feel somewhat better it isn't her?). And thanks, the dubstep one needed.

it's still reminiscent of her style so... I don't get why it'd make you feel better necessarily, besides the fame factor

Also party hard just makes me think of Andrew W.K.

#16 Posted by MistaSparkle (2069 posts) - 2 months, 25 days ago

Party Hard is my guilty pleasure song. I bumped that shit waiting for TNT so many times.

Also relevant but not royalty free, that slowed down version of Girlfriend that was on when they played Burnout is pretty great. This is an awesome thread, I hope we can find some more tunes!

#17 Posted by Musou (319 posts) - 2 months, 25 days ago

@razielcuts: I also thought it was from Ke$ha for quite some time, lol

#18 Posted by chainreaction01 (118 posts) - 2 months, 25 days ago
#19 Posted by Musou (319 posts) - 2 months, 25 days ago

Does anyone know if there's a way to add a row to a table without having to recreate it?

@chainreaction01: Thanks! It's up there.

This is pretty great haha!

#22 Posted by translucentfish (116 posts) - 2 months, 25 days ago

That must have been a fantastic day when looking for music for Year of the Bow you stumble upon a song that repeats "bow" over and over. Can't fathom how long it took to find that.

#23 Posted by Teoball (404 posts) - 2 months, 25 days ago

I found this song that they used in between segments in the game of the year videos.

#24 Edited by TyCobb (994 posts) - 2 months, 24 days ago

Very nice. Now I am off to find what other stuff is on there. I am a sucker for free stuff.

Edit: Damn, I thought these were free. Didn't realize you still needed to pay for a license.

#25 Posted by LiquidPrince (14653 posts) - 2 months, 24 days ago

Some of those are really good!

#26 Posted by boocreepyfootdoctor (782 posts) - 2 months, 24 days ago

Ahhh, "production music." Giver of Crash Holly and The Hardyz themes.

#27 Posted by TooWalrus (11799 posts) - 2 months, 24 days ago

if anyone knows what the music from the Screen Test video (how to build a bomb), Id love to hear it.

#28 Posted by Nilazz (512 posts) - 2 months, 24 days ago

This is great!

#29 Edited by RJPelonia (753 posts) - 2 months, 24 days ago

This is awesome. Thanks for finding and sharing this. For royalty-free, these are actually some pretty rad tracks.

#30 Posted by Chavtheworld (4115 posts) - 2 months, 24 days ago

This is a good thread.

Not sure what you're talking about, but back in the day they used at least one or two Midnight Brown tracks in the background of their videos.

Like the instrumental track to this song on their video reviews and I Love Mondays (I think those videos had this).

#33 Edited by Teoball (404 posts) - 2 months, 24 days ago

I think he means this which I can't find on any of the Midnight Brown albums.

#34 Edited by Phatmac (5245 posts) - 2 months, 24 days ago

Party Hard is my guilty pleasure. :<

#35 Posted by MaFoLu (1818 posts) - 2 months, 24 days ago

Anyone know the song at the end of this weeks TNT?

It plays for about the last five minutes.

#36 Posted by Apparatus_Unearth (2740 posts) - 2 months, 24 days ago

The synth on Party Hard is so similar to Ke$ha.

No, it's not Midnight Brown (and if it is, I can't find it on the albums). I'm talking about the song from this video:

EDIT: Not the intro, the video itself.

#40 Edited by Daveyo520 (6538 posts) - 2 months, 24 days ago

Ya Party Hard has always been my favorite.

#41 Posted by NegativeCero (2491 posts) - 2 months, 24 days ago

Pimp My Bass is appropriately dumb for the purpose it was used for. I might as well come out and say I like Party Hard too. I wonder what @Demoskinos thinks about pop songs like it. He seems to enjoy a good pop song.

#42 Posted by Demoskinos (8936 posts) - 2 months, 24 days ago

Oh my god. These songs are fucking amazingly dumb. I think a Saints Row theme vs Pimp My Bass needs to happen. SOMEONE DO THIS.

#43 Posted by captain_clayman (3164 posts) - 2 months, 24 days ago

I hate all royalty free music for some reason, I really don't know why, just...something seems so not-artistic about it. Like, who crafts a song thinking "what utility could this serve?"

#44 Posted by MechaKirby (165 posts) - 2 months, 24 days ago

I never come to the Livestreams early enough to hear enough of Vinny's songs, but I've heard that dubstep one before and damn does that go hard

Justin Timberlake's McDonalds theme?

#47 Posted by ahgunsillyo (398 posts) - 2 months, 23 days ago

The song "Lock Down" was used at the end of "Cop Show" in the Day Three Recap of their Game of the Year 2012 features.

#48 Edited by PhilipDuck (413 posts) - 2 months, 23 days ago

Thanks for finding these dude, I'm sure there is another Dubstep song which is used on the waiting screen before live streams.. ?

#49 Posted by Subjugation (4328 posts) - 2 months, 23 days ago

Does anyone know what the song was that they used in between segments way back during their E3 after hours show? You know, the hip-hop sounding one with the descending bwaah bwaah bwaah?

#50 Edited by golguin (2348 posts) - 2 months, 23 days ago

I really enjoy the Hipstra song for its Bastion beat and the violin that reminds me of Madoka's intro song Connect by ClariS.
