Please note that the HN community takes a rather strict approach when moderating comments that contribute noise to the conversation. "Nice article!" comments are routinely downvoted. As is sarcasm, witticisms, memes, references and other styles of comments that occur frequently but do not contribute to the discussion. It's a knowingly doomed attempt to hold back the flood of noise that covers Reddit.
I know it looks like a random and out of context comment now that I re-read it. But someone even somewhat familiar with the band he mentioned would probably understand why it was relevant.
(wonder if anyone from the HN crowd has ever heard of them).
Other than that, interesting project!
