Drop, like a stone, when you're thrown into the water
Spin, like a top, make it stop, like it ought to
Calm, in your eyes, you despise all the slaughter
Plan, like a bet, try to get, what you ought to
Run, with the pack, what you lack, makes you higher
Pray to your Gods, throw your sods on the fire
Dress to the nines, cross the lines, build your pyre
Drain, to the end, every drop of desire

Malka can play a nice groove on her bass on this one. I can definitely hear Wire in their tunes. Catchy industrial UK music from almost 20 years ago. I give it a 7 and almost an 8.

Not "coding" per se, but rather the management of versions of source code files. Or any files, for that matter. Linus Torvalds, creator of Linux, also created Git to manage flies.
Regarding the name, from Wikipedia:
Torvalds sarcastically quipped about the name git (which means "unpleasant person" in British English slang): "I'm an egotistical bastard, and I name all my projects after myself. First 'Linux', now 'git'." The [manual] describes Git as "the stupid content tracker".

Thought this was Ben Gibbard on vocals before looking at my screen.
We should change the name of the 5 rating from "Decent" to "Drop by Githead."
This is just a fun groove.
I love the recording of the bass on this track - its a real treat.
an unpleasant or contemptible person."that mean old git"
I can overdrive yr trunk woofers!
Judging from the comments, this is provocative music.

3. Sorry not sorry.
Is this still on? Vapor- 100% vapor... Should carry the warning label: "No actual music was generated during the production of this album."
I like it generally - but the high frequencies are a bit too loud, and are pretty harsh on my ears.

A Perfect Circle... anyone? anyone...
The baseline sounds good as a meditation. I might try it later to see where I go. . .
Keep this stuff flowing my way....

I'm not sure if I like this track or dislike it. A solid MEH from me, which warrants a 5-Decent rating.
Started out not liking this - too monotonous - but then about halfway through when it shifted to more like electro-trance I was diggin' it.

I am gitting something of a Stone Roses vibe from this - and that is a good thing in my book. Git it?

Not bad, got me to get up and look, thought Bill had found some Eno that I didn't know about.

It's about 1:00AM here just now...this is a nice sound to go with the dregs of that Pinot I just finished. I like it but won't rate it till later, or tomorrow.....
The band does not realize the extreme level of taste which this group posseses. After all, its not about enjoying the music. Most of the comments are designed to impress the other sages. Heaven forbid if the wrong people should see you like something.
Too bad there is not a special stream of perfect tunes just for the wizards.
So you people who say you like it, shame on us!!!!

On regular rotation at Squiddly Heights. Works well being played loud enough to rattle the windows. 10.
Oh the monotony

This song has a really nice hook with that bass that really keeps my attention. Good stuff!
Good stuff - never heard of them but like this track!
Gets an instant 8 from me on first listen. Was just going to say sounds a hell of a lot like Wire when what do I see on allmusic - it is Colin Newman. Great find - keep in playlist please, Bill. Wouldn't mind hearing more Wire here as well by the way.
I'd rather givehead
Cool.
Wow....this is pretty damn cool.
Hmm. A few more notes please, Mr Git. The same vocal and guitar sequence all through the song gets a bit repetitive after a while.
