Album cover meme

[sqbr]

I totally bent the rules for reasons of creative license :) Via shrydar.


1 - Go to "wikipedia." Hit “random... Read More... Read More”
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 4 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. (NOTE: I used an advanced search to get the third most recent image under a creative commons licence)

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




What are odds I'd get an actual band name? (well, record label) I didn't cheat and look at any of their actual album covers before making mine.

Nice :)

I felt a bit guilty about the licensing thing, but apathy won out. Crediting the artist assuaged my conscience to some degree or other..

I would have done the same but the image that came up first refused to let itself be saved to my desktop, and I thought "FINE, I'll use an image that DOES want me to use it!" :)

These memes can be a lovely demonstration of apophenia.

Heh, they really are aren't they?

"Don't drive. Don't even putt."

This is hilarious

Thank Dean Martin :) The full quote is " If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt."
