Make Your Own Album Cover

(I'm stealing this from someone who stole it from another forum.)

Rules below.
It sounds like a lot of work, but once you start it becomes an addictive way to procrastinate pretty much anything. :3

How to play

1 - Go to wikipedia. hit "random".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
the first random wikipedia article name you get is the name of your band.

2 - Go to random quotations:
http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
the last four words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.

3 - Go to flickr and click on "explore the last seven days"
http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4 - Use photoshop or mspaint to bring it all together.

If you can't save a flickr image because it saves as spaceball.gif, you can take a screen shot of it instead.

Examples:
Which He Loves It by Pepperoncini
The Middle of Things by Doulougou
Holy enters the World by Powerfist

The Chesapeake Western Railway
"Poetry should please by a fine excess and not by singularity. It should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost as a remembrance. "
And

Gypsy Folk music, all videos involving trains of somesort

I nearly wet myself when I got erotic asphyxiation.
In more ways that one.



This band would be lounge-y and sing in english, french, and portuguese.

I got Ford City, Pennsylvainia
Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.
and

They would play a combination of Trip-Hop and Cabaret. It's an all girl band but has a male bassist who looks terrified and nervous all the time and startles at loud noices and direct eye-contact. Their gimmich would be weird pattern stockings and a tour bus that changes color every week. They toss used postcards into the crowd after every set.

I'm thinking some sort of fellow who wants to be They Might Be Giants.

Your url is having issues, Wraith Lord.

Some aucostic guitar "indie" music where the chick just says her "ironic/quirky" lyrics in a sing-song voice instead of sings them. They'll be heavy on piano and support some obscure enviromental group, and claim their lack of fame "suits them" because it's really "all about the music" and how when they started the band they never wanted "to do anything to big" because that's "fake"  

[Rellik San]

Some trendy underground dance me thinks.  

[IY_and_MCR]

Low budget, avent-garde stuff.
The kind that reminds you just because it's different doesn't mean it's worthwhile.  

[screwed pixie]

I hear this group really draws an audience.......................  

[IY_and_MCR]

I can't think of what they'd be, because everytime I try to concentrate I'm distracted by how cute that bird is.
I think that's how they get people to buy their albums.

It's probably for the better.
Nothing says ingreatful guest like ruining a chair that doesn't belong to you.

It may be for the best, but it is still disappointing.
