I found this on facebook:
1 - Go to wikipedia and hit random. The first random wikipedia 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 of the page is the title of your first album. 3 - Go to flickr and click on "explore the last seven days". Third picture no matter ...what it is, will be your album cover. 4 - Use photoshop or similar (picnik.com is a free online photo editor) to put it all together. 5 - Post it with this text in the caption.
It would be funny to make a series of "nearly released albums"
This is my creation:

I hope that the bloke who's photo I used doesn't mind, but this looks a bit promising?

Polish prog, anyone?

...and there I was expecting the debut concept album from Mr. Sheen.
Huron Cemetery - If Men Were Listening
Came out kinda cool actually! I'm thinking of keeping the name to use for an up coming project.

Trust you to come up with something wacky :lol:

....so I influenced the random choices or broke the rules? How very dare you! :)
I just did it again a few times...maybe it's me?

Album: To Catch A Trout
Band: Sometimes I'm Happy, Sometimes I'm Blue
Album: Being Happy
Band: Blighty Football Club
Album: Keep Your Mind Even
Crochet? So near to being very musical :P
I can't believe there's no album called crotchet :|
My personal favourite is the cemetary one and roger g's (particularly awesome album name for the picture)
And my contribution to this (surprisingly interesting) thread is ...

Quote from: "Pedro"Band: Sometimes I'm Happy, Sometimes I'm Blue Album: Being Happy
Ahh, the forerunner to their seminal "Being Blue". They seemed to fizzle out after that for some reason.
:D
@TA: One of the last places my Dad worked at was called Mole Valley Farmers. Odd to see that pop-up. :)

Quote from: "wikipedia"This remains the only specimen ever collected of the fish, and appears to be lost after McKay was unable to locate it during his revision of the family. He furthermore suggested it to be a senior synonym of Sillago analis, due to the two species sharing many characteristics.
I've never thought of synonym being used that way. neat. 8-)

It's a really fun game. XD The whole 'Optimism is a Force Multiplier' is actually a really cool quote, I may end up stealing that. =P

@Neil, is your difficult 2nd album self-titled?
[attachment=0:1zbozyu1]frost_f1.jpg[/attachment:1zbozyu1]
I cheated slightly as the first band name actually was...
Quote from: "Pedro"Nice. :)

It is indeed, and following the rules of the task to the letter, very spooky!!

Well it's Mitchell singing the "Explicit Lyrics" - the made-safe-for-radio version can be heard here (//http://www.drarok.com/frost/files/Rick.Burn/jm_vocal_masterclass.mp3). :D

That's a fun game!
I swear I didn't cheat, the Voltaire's quotation really popped up...
I had to censor the first Wikipedia article, though. It was :
"Shagging
Shagging may refer to:
Shagging (baseball)
Shagging (sexual act)
Shagging (partner dance)"
You certainly wouldn't have believed me. Random selection can be so strange...
I do like this game. I'll try not to flood this thread with new ones every 20 minutes though. I do get bored in work.....

This looks like so much fun!... but I can't access the required bits at work, which is a pity as I have plenty of time... but don't tell the boss!!
I like this game :D
Here's number 2 for me!! Slightly dissapointed that an album with such a great title could have such a shoody band name. Hey ho.
I give you the new Albericus album a little kinder than necessary:
