View Full Version : Create an album cover
AndySlash 01-09-2008, 03:09 PM This turned out to be kind of fun elsewhere, so let's see what you douches can do with it.
Step 1:
Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The title of the first article on the page is your band, no matter what it is. The whole title.
Step 2:
Go to http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3, then hit refresh (otherwise people will have the same quote).
The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.
Step 3:
Go to http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
Step 4:
Edit them together in a graphics program and post here.
Examples:

If post rock existed in the mid-70's...
1 - Go to 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: 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.
If you want to do this again, you'll hit refresh to generate new quotes, because clicking the quotes link again will just give you the same quotes over and over again.
3 - Go to flickr's "explore the last seven days" http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
Put it all together, that's your debut album.

"Coming in at an exhausting 7,000 minutes long, the music is weighed down by a few too many mid- tempo tunes, most notably ‘Liebesträume No. 369.4FM in X Erectus’ by Franzipants Lisztpiss and ‘Closing Time? Shit Nigga, We open all night’ by ’90s alt-rock group Super-Sort-of-Semisonic,” Loder writes. “In the end, though music can be brilliant at times, the whole medium comes off as derivative of Pavement.”
