Create your debut album!

[Gene M.]

I saw this on another site, and I thought I should share it. These are the three steps towards creating your debut album. Click the links and share you results with the rest of us!

Step One- Band Name:
Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

Step Two- Album Title:
Go to Random quotations: http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.

note: If you want to do this a second time, hit refresh on your browser. Clicking the link again will give you the same quotes as before.

Step Three- Album Cover:
Go to flickr's "explore the last seven days" http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
The third picture is your album cover.

Here's mine:

EDITED cause I screwed up

Bah Double Post

[Shellhead]

Band: the Montreal Canadiens (I anticipate even bigger legal problems than Jello Biafra's)

Album: Full of Musical Amateurs

Cover Art: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3281/2944102588_961688b436_m.jpg

I realize that title seems too good to be true, but it's from a George Bernard Shaw quote that "Hell is full of musical amateurs."

[howyadoin]

Band name: Pope Leo.

Album title: The Essence of Inhumanity.

Album cover: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3058/2947237684_9f289bea19.jpg

That worked pretty well, actually.

[chaosakita]

Title: Russians in Hong Kong

Title: Time Shovelling Smoke (well, it's three words, but yeah)

Oh, this is good...

Band name: Spermatic Cord (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spermatic_cord)

Album title: You Can Have More Happiness (http://www.quotationspage.com/quote/25918.html)

Album Cover:

(N.B. There's already a band named Spermatic Chord, I went with five instead of four words because it's such a better title, and I had to refresh the flickr page until I got a picture the site would let me link to.)

Heh, awesome.

Sometimes you can tell an album is awful just by looking at it:

This is fun!

Robb, yours has "discount bin" stamped all over it!

I would hope a Spermatic Chord can Have More Happiness!

Maigen, I see pumpkin slop everywhere - SOON!

Your randomly chosen album cover fits your randomly chosen album title pretty well!

I'm impressed with almost all of these so far. Anyone thinking of starting a band could make use of this if they found themselves stuck for a name.

[Adam C]

Denmark at the 1984 Summer Olympics's (hm, we must be an indie band) debut album is Priority in Your Life!

Probably shoe-gaze.

Gilda, how did you make your image that big?
I used the same pic, but it works better for yours.

Gilda, how did you make your image that big?
I used the same pic, but it works better for yours.First you have to click on the photo itself; the first thing you're seeing is kind of a thumbnail. Once you do that, some photos have the option of showing a larger version - above the photo you'll see a graphic like a magnifying glass, and the words "all sizes".

That's not always the case, of course. Some Flickr members choose not to make that option available.

Love this!

Gilda, how did you make your image that big?
I used the same pic, but it works better for yours.

I did what Howy said, which gave me a 1024 x 1024 image, then used some image editing software to add the band name and title, then downsized it to 600 x 600.

For some reason the titles didn't transfer when I uploaded to photobucket. I originally had the band name in the upper left in a sans serif font and the album title under the puppet in script. It looked pretty nice.

[Sanagi]

I did a bunch of these a long time ago but I can't find them now. : (

Your link didn't work for me. If you use the and tags around a working link, no spaces, it will show up and make life easier for those of us whose computers are getting older and moving slower.
