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.

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.

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

Hahaaaa, perfect...
I just love the concept...

My album is here by the way:

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.

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.

Jeff, this is so cool! Mine came out really great, and can be seen by clicking

for my blog post.

I had a blast with this one!

Rob Rogers said...

Thanks, Jeff.

I posted a follow-up on my blog.

Erin Palette said...

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!

Kathleen said...

This is one of my favorite memes. It gets such cool results.

Devin said...

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.

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

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

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