A Game

1 - Go to wikipedia and hit random. The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band. 2 - Go to quotationspage.com and hit random. The last four 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”. Third picture no matter what it is, will be your album cover. 4 - Use photoshop or similar (picnik.com is a free online photo editor) to put it all together. 5 - Upload it to the photo hosting site of your choice and post a link in the comments.
Commenters album covers, in no particular order...

    I'm thinking one of your selections may have been one of the hits played at my prom. If not, it was really, really close.

    I think "Noteworthy events of the year" is the most arresting image, "Old man for the first time" the best title and overall cover, and finally "They sometimes take a rest" the funniest.
