Create your own band name and album cover....

[Pauro 76]

It's good fun this... just follow these instructions...

1 - Go to Wikipedia. Hit “random”
or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2 - Go to Quotations Page and select "random quotations"
or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four or five words of the very last quote on the page is the title of your first album.

3 - Go to Flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”
or click http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

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

Fluked a good one, all ties together and all. How do I get the image posted up though?

[Pauro 76]

Save it as a jpg or gif, and just attach the image. I couldn't do the full preview though for some reason...

Rather comically, the first random article I got was an album.

That's a proper album cover!

use tinypic.com and upload your picture. Under the 'links to share' option, you'll see IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards, copy the code underneath it and it'll pop up as a preview here.

Got lucky with the photo. :)

[Torn-Ado]

Feck it. My photobucket is crap. :mad:

[pineapple stu]

That is brilliant!

Also, this is genuinely what the band name came up as. Appropriate, I know. :)

[Red&White Rover]

Personally, I love the name.

Cheers Pauro, it's a bit better

[Pauro 76]

Not bad I guess. Sadly I don't know how to make it bigger.

Check post 8 and that'll do the job. This thing really works!

I'm still botching up posting the image but my bands name was "Dr Quinn - Medicine Woman" - "What Life is About" - available now at all good records stores (and a few dodgy ones).

Excuse the orange text - I'm not a graphic designer!

I want to buy Mr Maroon and Sligobrewer's albums.

Best thread down here in a good while! I'll contribute when I figure out how to.

Yeah, Mr Maroon's twee-folk with a hint of gypsy-punk offering would go down well I feel. While SligoBrewer's Philip Glass esque album is sure to offer resplendent solace.

Not at all sure about the The Beautiful South - Rotterdam connotations to your one Noby? Still undecided.
Must say though, Red & White Rover's second effort emits a powerful dance-punk vibe that I'm finding irresistible. Less so his first, bling-rap one!

Great thread. :)

A nice dancey effort from Indiana State Road 458 there...

Been trying to do it but Flickr won't let me save the images...:confused:
