Random Album Cover

Discovered via Dan and Kim, a process to make a random album cover, complete with random band name, random title, and random artwork. It goes like this:

1. Your band needs a name. Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random and the title of the first article is your band’s name.
2. Your album needs a title. Go to http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3, scroll down to the last quote in the list, and the last four words of that quote shall be the album’s title.
3. Finally, your album needs artwork. Go to http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/ and use the third picture. Personally, I checked to see if the third picture had a Creative Commons license that allowed for derivative works, and if it did not, I reloaded the page until the third picture had such a license. You know, because I’m a nice guy like that.

My first foray into said experiment went as such:

Not bad. The image and the quote go together semi-well, and honestly, “Chinook Pass” is not that bad of a band name. The quote was attributed to Alan Dean Foster: “Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting.”

I could have made something slightly more exciting, but I’m at work and only have MS Paint. I think the simplicity of it goes well though.
