Album covers from a parallel universe
- by DrDave
[This blog idea is quite shamelessly stolen from this page]
A harmless piece of midweek whimsey. Using random chance, generate an album cover. Use the following ingredients:
- Wikipedia's Random Page: The article name is the name of your band;
- Random Quotations Page: The last four words of the last quote are the name of the album;
- Flickr's Interesting Picture Page: The third picture is your album cover image.
Mash them all together in your favoured art package and behold, a band is born. Gentlemen, I give you, "Springerville, Arizona":
It works!
This could get addictive:
It's a bit of fun, so here you go.
This is a good'un Dave! Good job that man!
I'm pretty impressed with mine...

What's really amusing is that, without doubt, 75% of the above are better album covers than you see on commercial releases week in week out. And some of the band names are pretty good too.
