This can be quite funny.
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':

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

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.

Can't get a cover to work either, but it was a picture of an angry goose.
I think I'd better keep my day job.

Band: Hyperion Planning
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.

Don't know about the album title, but fabulous band name!
My standout favs are from Cag, balon, Lore, Vain and Stonemaybe. (But everyone's is interesting!)
