Blame it all. I even searched Typophile for “album cover” first. Well, this thread is still open, whereas the other isn’t. Whatever you feel should become of this thread will be fine with me.

The Album Cover Game

I came across this terrific game on another forum I frequent. Here’s the procedure as given there:

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

2 - Go to Random quotations:

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”
http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
Third picture, no matter what it is ((SFW of course)), will be your album cover.

4 - Use photoshop or similar to mix it all up. Host it and bring it here.
