Concept Album meme

From coeli

01. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first article title on the page is the name of your band.
02. http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.
03. http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/ The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
04. Use your graphics program of choice to throw them together, and post the result as a comment in this post. Also, pass it along in your own journal because it's more amusing that way.

  2. Awesome. I love all things randomly generated. Deeply and intensely :)

    My results were pretentious on that desperate-cry-for-help level:

    Band Name: Prey Svay
    Album Title: Makeup on Two Faces
    Album Cover: A child [apparently, from his garb, in the Middle East] looking at a string of black beads.

    Now I feel like posting at the Forge.

  3. (and I'd do the cover but I have no idea how to post graphics here)

  5. I also don't know how to post a picture here, but the cover art for Nixon Doctrine's latest release, Small Things Badly, Too is of the underside of a pier.

    I will post a link to my image, as the html doesn't work:

    I obviously got a 70s Art Rock band!

    Band Name: Alcestas
    Album Title: Refuge of a Scoundrel
    Album Cover: What looks to be the foundations for a wharf or pier sitting in a calm body of water.

  9. Mine's here!

    VERY fun, and surprisingly good result.

    My new band, Tropical Cyclone, has just released its first album: This is not difficult. The album art is linked back to flicker on my blog, but it's a neat blurred picture of a chick's face.

  12. Ooh, neat idea!

    My contribution can be found here.

    Not only did I do up the album cover, but I created a fake history for the band, previous albums, and some track names. Tell me what you think of it!

  16. Here's my album.

    I think they were a moderately popular classic rock band in the late '70s, then they disappeared for a long time, only to resurface with this attempt at an artistic revival in the mid-'90s.

    It was their last album.

  17. The Band: Gambian Mongoose
    Album title: Candy from a Baby

    Pic on cover is a night shot of a downtown Detroit fountain.

  18. This is too funny. My results sent me into insulin shock. Be careful viewing if you have any problems with your blood sugar.
