Sherri over at The Claw has just released her new album and it was so pretty I couldn’t resist a bit of internetty creation of a lazy Saturday morning…
1 – Go to Wikipedia. Hit ‘random‘. The first Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.
2 – Go to Quotations Page and select ‘random quotations‘. 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‘. Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
4 – Use Picnik (or photoshop or whatever) to put it all together. Then tell us about your album.
5 – comment with the link to your album.
My record: Lürssen were of course, the original German Emo band. With their stovepipe trousers and white socks, pancake makeup and teased-out, frosted hair, they have a Specials-meets-The Cure vibe. Their first album ‘walk rapidly and be unhappy’ was released postumously to critical acclaim.
Leave the link to your efforts in the comments. I’m tagging you Ess Jay, Ms Bird, Frou Frou, Fwengebola, Stephanie & Robin.

I have been having no luck finding images on Flickr that aren’t super-copyrighted by their owners (contrary to the site’s TOS) and backed up by extensive threats of legal action in the profile listing. Having said that, here are links to two of the images that the generative instructions threw up: < HREF="http://www.flickr.com/photos/capnsurly/3289741636/" REL="nofollow">One<>, < HREF="http://www.flickr.com/photos/expatriategames/3292699976/" REL="nofollow">Two<>.
