Create your own Random Album Cover!

Random Thing Album Cover

1 - Go to "wikipedia." Hit “random”
or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2 - Go to "Random quotations"
or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
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 http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4 - Use photoshop or similar to put it all together.

5 - Post it with this text in the "caption" and TAG the friends you want to join in.

6 - Include a guess about the genre of music.

My first attempt:



208 Wakata
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

6208 Wakata (1988 XT) is a Main-belt Asteroid discovered on December 03, 1988 by Endate and Watanabe at Kitami.

The random quote is a Japanese proverb

I'd say that 6208 Wataka falls into the alternative rock category. Perhaps they're from Iceland.

Some friends made these:

1. Those are fabulous !

Can't wait to get home to try this.

[Lorien]

2. Oops! I just realized that I was only supposed to use four words

for the title:

[Fire Walk With Me]

3. That's some darn good semi-aleatorics!

[Lorien]

4. To be fair, most of my friends are professional artists of one stripe

or another. But anyone with a fairly decent font collection can do as well!

[Lorien]

5. Oh come on now-I KNOW there are a few creative people here

My threads always drop like a rock. Not sure why that is.

26. Ohmygosh, that's awesome!

That photo is just perfect for an album cover (yeah, I'm dating myself). ;-)

[bluesbassman]

27. LOL. It'll always be an album cover...

With CDs it's just packaging.:)

The thing is though, what happens when we go fully digital? Will cover art be lost?

[mcctatas]

25. OK, mine is soooooooo freaking wrong...

[bluesbassman]

28. That's a little disturbing.

Black Metal band perhaps?

34. Sorry to let you down, but it's not witty or funny.

For four-fifth's of our history, our planet was populated by pond scum.

But I still like how it fits with the photo.

[Bucky]

33. Somehow Wikipedia knew I'd be a country & western alt metal college band

and that I'd base most of my song lyrics on the naughtier works of John Kenneth Galbraith. That is so me.
