palfrey at 11:49pm on 16/12/2004Hmm, figured that by now I'd seen pretty much everything. Survived goatse, the devilbunnies, and the wrath of alt.religion.kibology. Didn't think I'd ever find a rock song about a programming language.... random little band called Ekzepshun (sp?), found somewhere in some wanderings on Gnutella, doing a song called "Pythonic". I'm not usually a lyrics poster, but felt this was worth an exception (ack, bad joke). Will probably get around to throwing this up on my site's lyrics section at some point. Might be a few words wrong, as google fails me here, and this is a approximate transcript (thrashy guitars do not make lyrics easy to grab). Rock on....
Ekzepshun - Pythonic
Batteries included,
Lists of all the things we're gonna do,
We'll slice them down to tuples,
Lambda our way out of here.
We're all consenting adults,
Keys for all the names,
Manipulation, introspection,
Nothing is private here.
There's only one way to play this game,
How we wait matters,
How we speak matters,
Ambiguity destroys our voice.
Spaces for names,
New objects from old,
Polyamorous talking,
Joking when we're serious.
Hmm. The song itself sucks a bit (lead could badly do with a big bag of throat lozenges), but I thought the idea was worth posting for posterity's sake. Anyways...

If you spot any more of their stuff, drop me a line.

Perhaps they're one of these bands that records a couple of tracks and sticks 'em up on P2P networks just for the fun of it, which might explain why not much can be found about that.
I quite like a track that shipped with BeOS 4.5 (I think), called "virtual (void)"; it was recorded by Be staffers (or maybe execs, I forget) and is a complete one off, but it pretty cool.
