Default Your Band, Your Album!!!!

A friend of mine told me about a funny post on a Sports forum he goes too.
I think I need to "borrow" or "share" it here

Here's what you do;
1) Go to Random Wikipedia;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The title of the first article is the name of your band.
2)Go to Random quotations;
http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your album.
3) Go to Flicker and hit "explore the last 7 days";
http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
The 3rd picture is your album cover.

My band is-
Joe Walton (footballer)
And my album is-
Do What We're Doing!
I made album art but if you don't have time or means, just post the picture you find or a link to it


That's it, please participate, you'll be amused at the outcome


To give credit where it's due, Slackula of the Golf (?) forum came up with the idea

Thanks, but I can't take credit for the idea, I stole it from another forum.

Glad you guys are enjoying it. It's really amazing how "real" these names and albums seem. I can see buying any of these CDs at a used CD place!

I had to do another:

I took liberties with the image of course, the actual image is the one outlined in white. I guess I'm a frustrated cover designer

Oh, I guess the real credit goes to my buddy Lexbur who told me about the album thing on his favorite forum

I'm quite surprised actually at how some of these albums/bands actually make sense.
