''' This file append what you are listening to, to your git commit messages.
    First thing to do is to rename it to commit-msg and put it in .git/hooks in your repo
    Then edit your lastfm_key and lastfm_user strings using info here, http://www.last.fm/api/accounts
    Now all your commits in that repo will have the new message appended to them.
