....what's your band called & what would your album cover look like?

Got this off AlfaOwner.com (cheers lehane racing) and it's very addictive.

1 - Go to wikipedia and hit random. The title of the first 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 on the page is the title of your album.

3 - Go to flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”. The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4 - Use photoshop or similar to put it all together.

So let's see what you come up - I've not any photo editing software on the laptop but will have a go on my mac tomorrow.

Mods, I've put this in The Lounge but feel free to move it as you see fit.

Don't need to do any of that. For me the answer is simple smile

The bandname would be Kinky Hippos On Heat; and our album cover would simply be a pic of a pair of slippers smile

It actually works quite well.

My band would be called Green Monday; the album would be "Fused Into A Single Stubbornness" and would look like this...

I'd keep that band name Kinky!

Name: Winifred Bryson (This isn't going well is it)
Album name: Until the sun grows old. (Quite like that)

Cover:

Which I admit, does look album cover-ish, but only because the first one that appeared wasn't printable here.
