Random Album Cover meme

Tagged, like an endangered ape, by The Modesto Kid…

Rules:
1 – Go to Wikipedia. Hit “random” or click en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random

The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2 – Go to Quotations Page and select “random quotations” or click www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four or five words of the very last quote on the page is the title of your first album.

3 – Go to Flickr and click on “explore the last seven days” or click 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.

I’d tag someone else, but looking through the last 80 comments… none of you have blogs.

  1. Whoa dude. Whoever came up with this recipe had the right idea.

  2. yeah: the mind has a fantastic ability to project a concept onto an image, no matter how disparate the concept and the image might seem at first glance. you can almost always find a way to see the concept in the image.

    it kindof calls into question all of human intelligence, IMO. the speed and ease with which we find support for a random concept in an unrelated object makes suspect every conclusion which isn’t backed by a hard data.

    including this comment.

  3. I saw this meme on facebook, and thought it was annoying and stupid. But then I tried it out, and the random image that came up was so nice I had to follow through.

    I took one liberty with it: my “band name” was a person’s name, so I took out a space and made it one word.

  9. Good one — I can see her saying it. You guys impress me with your command of fonts and formatting… I just take what is given me fontwise and it is usually Courier.
