The idea is to generate your band name, album title and album art by random function on the internet.
1. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first article title on the page is the name of your band.

2. www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.

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

4. Use your graphics program of choice to throw them together, and post the result as a comment in this blog. Also, pass it along in your own blog if you want to.
I got the following:
Band: 13th Division
Title:The Sun Grows Old
Picture: The Sun Grows Old by 13th Division
Now it would be fun if I also took it into a Photo Shop type program and done up the graphics so it looks cool, but I don't know how to do that.

Hey thanks for doing up the album art, Dave.

Kinda justoposition with the band name coming from a Japanese 13th Division, but the album being about the setting sun, instead of the land of the rising sun.

What worries me is that it was seen on TV.... and I missed it!

I tried it again.... This time I didn't cheat. I was determined to keep it honest, no matter what the result. I guess I was lucky enough that I got half decent results

Band name:
Music for Torching is a 1999 novel by A. M. Homes.

Title:
One of the most obvious facts about grownups to a child is that they have forgotten what it is like to be a child.

That was really too perfect. I shoulda known...

My combination was legitimate and seems to make sense.

--- Tim P. Ryan
Thanks for playing along.
Okay, I cheated, too. It was the fourth picture on the page, but just too perfect.

--- Sick Puppy
Was it just a coincidence that the album title and the picture seem to go together so nicely?

I'm going to go and try it for myself.

Okay.... I gave it a try. How's this?





To be honest though, some of the random results make no sense at all (just like some modern music). I did retry a couple times. (So I cheated.)
