1. Go to Wikipedia, click on random article. This is the name of your band
2. Go to Wikiquote, click on random page. The last 3-6 words of the first quote is the name of your album
3. Go Google and image search the words that will be the title of your album. 4th picture is the album cover. Shop that shit and show it off.
I get:

Sorry for the double post, but this one was too nice to pass up.

(Full disclosure: Before that one I had a different combination that I abandoned because the image didn't load properly, but I try not to cheat.)
I don't know why I enjoy this so much.
Must be an apophenia thing - or I am just easily amused.

(This was the one that didn't load earlier. Now I'm back on track without skipping a single one.)

Come on, someone else can make a few more.
I promise I will do this tomorrow...looks like fun!
Great!Quote:

I'll be back with more. This one makes too much and not enough sense for my tastes.

Nerdcore - right up my alley.

I fucking love this. I wish I could actually buy this album.Quote:

Ok, that was more fun than I expected. The "found objects" aspect of it is cool. I did another:

I like this one combo I got. I did not know what the picture was when I found it on the Google Image search until I got the blowup.

Double post.
I'd buy the hell out of "Newest Music."
This game is the most fun ever.

This is the first one that I cropped. The ones that are more or less square just look more album-like.
This one is awesome.Quote:

Is the fact that Feirefiz and I got the same quote indicative of randomness or lack of randomness?
Here's one more for right now:

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...ots/band04.jpg
Seeing as how the band name is for a theoretical form of commune, I'm guessing this is "music with a message."
...and apparently Google Chrome likes to do double posts.
Oh yes, I completely missed that. I think because the Wikiquote pages are by author and not by quote there are probably few enough that the birthday paradox has to strike sooner or later.Quote:

You know, I think I would buy this one. It looks like the sort of music I'd enjoy (which my husband calls "Indie Folk.")Quote:

Actually, I was thinking maybe we could collect ten of our favorites once we have enough and do a front page photoshop showcase.Quote:

(Heh, my random article was a real band!)

That's a great idea. I'm trying to make mine more square-ish so they look more like album covers, too. :dumbo:Quote:

By pure coincidence, my band is called "the three tenors".
I had no idea that was taken when we started out.
If the actual Three Tenors released an album with that cover/title, I'd buy it.
Seriously.Quote:

Unmarried women with lots of cats own such albums.

Nice combination of band name and album title.
Oh, I love "The Final Hours of My Life." It looks like it'd be put out by some sort of goofy indie band.
The album name is The Bay of Bengal. Since that was already on the image that came up, I left it.

Man, am I ever bummed. Like, 10 of mine seem to be gone from flickr, and I don't know if I accidentally deleted them or what. :(
I guess I'll have to do more.

I'm told that I have to link it back to flickr. So, here.
Two sports themed ones in a row...

Great idea, Zuul! These are so fun.
I deleted my posts that have the missing pictures, so I won't have to look at all those big blank squares. :(
Oh! I was wondering why the post count went down.
This was probably my favorite game we ever played on here.
I love this one.Quote:
