Create a random band and their random album. I'll start.

There's apparently a new meme going around... so why not bring it here?

1. Go to "wikipedia." Hit “random” or click Hazratbal disappearance episode - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2. Go to "Random quotations" or click Random Quotes - The Quotations Page
The last four or five 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” or click Flickr: Explore interesting photos from the last 7 days in FlickrLand...
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4. Use photoshop or a similar program to put it all together.

5. Post it here.

As I was going down the stair, I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today; I wish I wish he'd go away.

Introducing Guthigaru, a new goth rock band, with their sure-to-be-a-hit debut album Life Has Opened Before You.

I got a little carried away... by no means do you have to do this amount of photoshopping. Just the cover would be fine.

I dig it!



The album? Eat to Live (not live to eat) by Washington's Headquarters.

Critics have hailed Washington's Headquarters as the next Rage Against the Machine. Frontman Jeremy Alvarez says "we're bigger than the old lady on Flickr!"

That's really a bold statement. Just don't tell any RATM fans that.

I'd just like to clarify that the image you select *should* be licensed under a Creative Commons license, and not one with all rights reserved. Sadly Flickr's 'interesting' photo page doesn't filter like that, but... do what you can.

You're still a show off shmuck, Pocket. *smirk* I'm too lazy to ply any serious photoshopin' skills tonight.

From the people who brought you "Because I said so" and "Do it or else!" comes "To Set People Right" The next blazing album from List of Individual Weapons of the New Zealand Armed Forces. You don't want to screw with these Kiwis.

No, I probably can't help you.
But I might be able to make you laugh and forget that you just nuked 16 hours of photoshop work.

I don't think I've ever seen a cd cover with that aspect ratio, Sami. :-P

Nope. They're on the cutting edge. Or their designer was lazy. Whichever.

They also specialize in post cards, heh.
