# This simple little script could be expanded to support command line
# args, multiple sources, and multiple Slack domains... but for now it
# gets the job done posting my current tunes so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
#
# Works on Python 2.7.3+ and 3.3.0+
#
# Expects ~/.config/last-fm.yml with an API key and user name
# Expects ~/.config/slack.yml with a legacy key
#
# Deps: pip install requests retry pyyaml
