Your own Album

Post by Mysteweave »

This can be quite funny. :D

1 - Go to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random

The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2 - Go to Random quotations: www.quotationspage.com/random.php3

The last four words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album. If you want to do this again, hit refresh to generate new quotes, because clicking the quotes link again will just give you the same quotes over and over again.

3 - Go to Flickr's 'explore the last seven days':
www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/

Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover. Put it all together, that's your debut album.


Here's mine -

Band Name: Yersinia pestis
Debut Album: The Food in Museums

Album Art:

Band name: 5636 (Hebrew Year)
Album title: Day Expressed In M&Ms

Cover art:

Gee...I wouldn't buy this album. I guess they do make black and white M&Ms. That's the only thing that would hook me is the title, but the band name and the album cover look a little dreary. It's an arty picture, but doesn't evoke any fun.

Album title: Start and So On

Cover art:

I love the band name and the art, but the album title is weak.

Hint: I had to knock off the junk after .jpg in the image URL to get the picture to show up.
