This is a mix CD I made for a friend. Feel free to gaffle (see below for a definition of this strange word).
"This Deed" by Electrelane is in German and just repeats a quote from Nietzsche's The Gay Science over and over: "This deed is still more distant from them than the most distant stars, and yet they have done it themselves". It reminds me of Walter Benjamin's constellations of meaning. Basically the song gets me in a nerdtastic mood, ready to tear apart some text. Or perhaps "get medieval".
"When Your Mind's Made Up" is from a movie called Once which follows a muscially inclined couple through the vacuums and hole-y guitars and motorcycles of their relationship. It is very romantic.
According to the OED, "gaffle" (n) is a "steel lever for bending the cross-bow" or a "rest for a musket".
However, Urban Dictionary says "gaffle" means "To rip someone off, to get someone's money by deceit. To scam someone for their money by creating a ploy. To get over on a person or persons. It's an old slang term used in the early part of the 20th century. Depicted in the movie "The Sting". It was picked up again in the Bay Area in the 1980's (mainly Oakland I believe)." This is the sense in which I'm using gaffle.
Either you Karate do yes, or Karate do no. . .
Either you gaffle do yes, or gaffle do no. . .
