There are at least five ways to cook mountain oysters until they’re hot; same goes for our music. We totally cooked the books when creating this “Hot 25” list of royalty-free tracks from 2015. Was the track super-awesome, but didn’t necessarily beat other tracks in terms of sales? On the list it went! Did the […]
A gnarly industrial-pop song called “Guns Blazing” by Cobra Ramone was used to underscore the most erotic scene I have ever witnessed in a movie where everyone’s clothes stay on. In the 2013 independent film All the Wrong Reasons, our main female character (played by director Gia Milani) has a crush on a male co-worker. […]
Country music wears a lot of different faces today and they’re all well represented in our production music library. Traditional country, rock country, bluegrass and more are wonderful tools to place your viewer in a rural mood before you even start telling your story. Mandolin, banjo, fiddle and more are just some of the instruments […]
As extreme emotions rise within us all during these presidential primaries, keep in mind that angry thoughts, tearful breakdowns and power struggles are normal in marriage counseling. We’ll never agree on how to hang the toilet paper, but we’re stuck with one another. Listening to these patriotic tracks from our collection gives me respite from […]

Coincidence? We think not. Music that feels rapid and rhythmic wakes up your audience and makes them want to do stuff. Here is a hand-picked […]
A person’s politics – much like the person they marry or their religion – is largely an emotional decision. Therefore a political candidate who tries to solicit votes must know they’re diving into an ocean of mass psychosis most of us couldn’t comprehend. That’s probably why former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan, who worked for five Presidents, […]
In memory of B.B. King, we asked one of our newest musicians for parting thoughts on the reigning King of Blues. This particular musician, Robert Heft, was the right guy to ask because tracks he uploaded such as Bottom of the Blues and Hey Baby exhibit a depth and authenticity that goes way beyond the mechanics […]
Van Halen’s reasons for destroying those dressing rooms wasn’t just to feed a PR machine, but also a brutally efficient quality control measure. Watch as David Lee Roth explains..
Musicians who are fortunate enough to strike gold can now look forward to entirely new level of scrutiny in the courtroom with questions like: “Have you ever heard the song you’re being accused of stealing?” (Um…music plays everywhere so probably)
