Julien-K "We're Here With You"

Post by Falco Girgis »

Is probably the best album on the planet. They have completely redefined their style and have taken it all to the next level--guitar, synths, vocals, and style. It also has just an ever-so-slight touch of indie/trendy going on. I have no doubt that this album is going to make them famous... GO CHECK IT OUT IF YOU HAVE ANY SELF RESPECT, WHATSOEVER!

Oh, they are gods of the "dark, electronic rock" genre, for those of you who don't already know who they are. We use quite a bit of their music in our later chapters of AiGD.

I got mine on last Friday! I have to agree with you that this is already, easily, the best album of the year. The beast that Julien-k is really stepped up their game and reinvented themselves. I spoke to Ryan on Facebook and he mentioned that he wasn't interested in top charts or any of the 'glam' - he really wanted to just have fun and write music. Turns out though, they've been sitting at #2 on the iTunes Electronic album charts since their release!

I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT GET THIS FUCKING SONG OUT OF MY HEAD!


I definitely know one song that will be on Adventures in Game Development Chapter 18...

Nothing like dark, decadent, dancy, synthy goodness with bitchin' guitar.

OMG me too today! I just listened to most of the album last night and threw on only two songs on my mp3 player to take with me to work and I kept coming back to this song again and again.

Dear god, they actually ported ES to a piece of celery!

Don't tell me what your running from, or what you've done! These cool days of summer, burn so long! The vows we made are under attack.. I can feel myself pushing back back back ..

This verse keeps getting stuck in my head... I like it a shit ton, totally worth the purchase!

What are your stands in including copyrighted music into your videos?
Not that I'm against it, I'm just afraid that the videos can be removed from Youtube. That would be really sad.
So, do you have this in mind while making the videos, and if so, how serious are you taking it?

(This isn't a "you shouldn't do this" post. I'm just interested in your opinions)

Pretty awesome track, and I could certainly see it going with an AIGD video... maybe with a good old development montage!

...how many of our videos have you seen? Almost every single one of them has copyrighted music.

I remember a time when Googling Julien-K would put our dev videos on the front page. I remember a time when Youtubing "System De Sexe" brought Chapter 13 up before the actual live performance. I would like to believe that we have done more good for Julien-K than bad. I have also personally met the boys, and I don't see them being too upset.

I care more about the fact that copyrighted music ruins the opportunity for Youtube partnership, which we are seriously considering these days.
