zazen Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Anyone ever heard the GAK reference before ? http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=gak the gak ep is very old aphex, possibly some of his oldest released tracks. like a lot of the old stuff, its a bit repetitive edit: From Diskogs: "Retrieved from Warp Archives 1990" "The backstory behind this is that RDJ sent it into Warp (before he was signed) under the name "GAK". After he was signed, they pulled it out of the archives and released it." ... so RDJ would have been about 18 or 19 when he did GAK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velazquez Posted June 15, 2007 Author Share Posted June 15, 2007 What are the odds Lily Allen likes GAK (the album)- from answer.com "she listened to everything from T. Rex, the Specials, and the Slits to the Happy Mondays and drum'n'bass, and even ran away to see the Glastonbury Festival when she was 14....When asked by the NME how she would celebrate if her debut single, Smile, got to Number 1 in the UK charts, she responded "gak" (a slang term for cocaine). She immediately said that she was joking, but the "gak" remark was widely quoted in the tabloid press. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
