my album cover

This is my new album cover! Well, actually it’s a cool thing I saw on a blog while stumble-ing today. It involves visiting sites and using what you get in Photoshop or similar paint program. The game goes like this…
(you may want to middle click these to open them in new tabs)

  1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
    The first article title on this page will be the name of your band.

  2. http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
    The last four words of the last quote on the page will be the name of your album

  3. http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
    The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

  4. http://www.livejournal.com/random.bml
    Click on the users info link and look for the italic subtitle below the bold blog name. That will be your first hit single.

  5. Use a graphics program to put them all together like I did above and share it here..

For completeness, here are all the urls that came up for me..
1 2 3 4

Lets see what you get….

Here’s a couple more that I made (no refreshes allowed, you have to choose whatever comes up (even russian tag lines!) )

      hehe, it’s a really fun thing to do and quite strange how things go together and actually sound like a proper band and album.

      That is randomly brilliant…by happenstance…because the title and the picture go together!

      (Since the album name is “Exist side by side” and the picture is of two legs…). How many did you make to get one or two that worked great like that?

      it was serendipity! I didn’t have to do any refreshes to get it like that.
      even the one below it with a picture of the baby and the title “bedside of a dying child” came without a refresh. how spooky!

      hey, you seem to be very talented, right? *g*
      I’m a singer and have a small band. we’re making big band-styled music and are quiet succesfull in our region. maybe you can help us with our covers… they are rather boring… :-(

      blue: I seem to be getting a lot of german commenters who leave non blog url’s as their site, is my blog advertised as an easy place to get linkbacks somewhere?
