UGH fuck roosterteeth so hard because imagine how hard a reprise of “(When) Your Middle Name is Danger” (the evil meta music) would have cooked if Trocadero and the full music gang had been invited back for the final season‼️‼️

I really do wanna stress the Trocadero thing is fucked, like.
The various intro pieces across the series (Intro, Big Prize, the opening to Contact, Relay, ect.) are iconic. The Meta would not be scary without 'When Your Middle Name is Danger'. The way 'First Wave' greatly boosts the impact of the Director's final letter. And this might just be me, but 'Fifty' still fucks me up this day.
Or how some songs are just synonymous with a character. 'A Girl named Tex,' 'Another One Down' for Tucker, 'Good Fight (Instrumental)' for Wash, 'Half Life' for Kimball, 'Loom' for Locus.
Blood Gultch Blues. Contact.
And that's just Trocadero. Doesn't even touch the work of Jeff and Casey Williams, Sandy Lee Casey, Lamar Hall, David Levy, or Meredith Hagan.
The music of a show is so important to setting the tone of the work, and it greatly helps those emotional moments to hit, especially in a series where the characters physical acting is so limited. I sincerely believe that Trocadero and collaberators' work contributed massively to rvb's longrunning success, especially as the series became more dramatic in tone.
But rather than respect these contributions Trocadero has made to the series for the last 20 years, RT would prefer to hire newcomers or use stock music bc it's cheaper.
RT doesn't value it's artists' labor. When Restoration comes out y'all better be pirating that shit.

Once again thinking about how Red vs Blue goes from “haha funny Halo machinima show” to “war is a truly deplorable thing that has horrific effects and only serves the self-interests of the elite who carelessly throw away the lives of the working class and civilians for their own wealth and power, and that the soldiers who fight in these wars are effectively groomed into the army through patriotism, poverty, social pressures, and the promise of a better life they will never see. Soldiers are tricked with us vs them mentality, and are told not to think critically about the people they kill because they are simply on the other side”

Esú (Baco Exu do Blues)
I feel that the gods are afraid of me/Half man, half god, and both are afraid of me/I feel that the world is afraid of me"/"I write on walls, on bodies, on the plebs/On the skin, on the tenuous line of the epidermis/Of the calm soul of the curved lines of Venus' thighs/At least my fate isn't in an/Star, cast, it's enough, I'm enough, astrologists, various dialogues/Immersed in the complex content that consumes us/The pain vanishes when you realize the gods are jealous of men/The world is fruit of our imagination/Are we gods or their creation?
"It's all about the lack of belonging anywhere, of being feared for what you represent on all and any sides of the equation. and then rejecting all that, writing your way out and realizing that you are actually much more than what they fear you are."
Half-Life (Trocadero)
And I wonder where you are/And I wonder what you wore/And I'm lost inside a bar/And I'm drunk inside a war/And I wonder where you are...
"There are so many stories where some brave hero decides to give their life to save the day and because of their sacrifice, the good guys win, the survivors all cheer, and everybody lives happily ever after. But the hero never gets to see that ending. They’ll never know if their sacrifice actually made any difference. They’ll never know if the day was really saved. In the end, they just have to have faith. Ain't that a bitch?"

Are you open to sharing those commissioned trocadero songs again. I had them saved like. 2 phones ago
of course! they may have been made for me but i think everyone should be able to hear them
i've been meaning to message Nico about getting Banned Ray on Spotify for ages, actually, since thats the commissioned song and it should be easy enough. getting Pilot on any streaming service or out in any official capacity is actually much harder- maybe even impossible- because its a cover of a song me and a few friends in highschool wrote for our now long-defunct band. it was made not as a commission but given as a gift. the legality of getting that up would require gaining a lot of legal permission from a handful of scattered 20s-somethings lol
