A cute game I snagged from Facebook!

YOUR ALBUM COVER

1 - Go to "wikipedia." Hit “random”
or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

Mine: Motobecane USA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motobecane_USA) (!)

2 - Go to "Random quotations"
or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album. (make sure you hit the "new random quotations" button at the bottom if you get a repeat)

Mine: "To the same person"

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.

Mine: A red-bellied woodpecker (http://www.flickr.com/photos/dmcantrell/3372726735/)

4 - Use photoshop or similar to put it all together (http://www.picnik.com/) works well, online.


------------------------

Here's my band's album cover, thrown together pretty quickly! ;)

That was fun! Yours is great, Soda.

The last five words of the quote would have made it "sane beyond a reasonable doubt", but I didn't want to make a false statement! :wink:

Rhonda, yours made me laugh so much. Creeeeeeeepy!

Willie, looks as if you're getting on pretty well with the photo-editing program! I like "thinking will turn into a tune".

Soda, yours is clearly a Lynyrd Skynyrd kind of band! Your album cover makes me want to hit the road.

Ok, luckily it's a slow day, and I've never done anything like this before and pretty much muddled through, so please tell me if it's terrible. I wouldn't know. :blush:

These all look really great!

Although, Ticky's is a little ...strange...:hilarious:

Brooke, I like yours! I think it all fits together really well. That's also a really nice picture

Thanks mr. I really liked my picture.

With the wierd names of bands these days, I think they are all pretty good.

I like the band and album name but i'm a little creeped out by the picture.

I finally found the time to create my album cover!

The name of my band (or solo artist) is Cristy Road.

The name of my album is Things That Cause Cancer. (I wasn't too thrilled with that!)

Sorry, I should have made it bigger.

I came across this thread while looking for something else and it's just as much fun to do now as it was back then. Soda's instructions are in the first post. I used Photobucket to edit.

The name of my band is Treichville and the name of my album is The Refill Contained the Antedote.

Mine is so morbidly depressing I'm going to do another one tonight or tomorrow.

Prettymaid

Look at the photo I got for my album cover and I didn't even cheat! :hilarious:
I was just hoping for something not so depressing. My band's name is kind of long, but I like the album title, Carpet the Whole World.

Just FYI, eagles are known to exchange a fish in mid air. Here's a photo of the Norfolk Botanical Garden Male giving a fish to his 'daughter' Azalea, in 2010.

Your group name is a lot more appropriate than mine Cami....

And I hope for the sake of my band that my album title is ironic, lol.

Thought it would be fun to resurrect this thread... it's been a while!

My new album cover kind of cracks me up because it's so random. "Danaus" sounds like a European electro/dance group to me...

Now you guys are not going to believe the name of my band and just to prove it, I snipped the page so I can prove I didn't make it up.

Here's my album cover first.

Here's the snip of what came up for my band name.

You then have to save it as a jpeg file in Photobucket or wherever you store photos. You don't have to keep it forever.
