- Go to Wikipedia. Hit "random article." The title of the article is the name of your band.
- Go to the Random Quotes page at the Quotations Page. The last four or five words of the very last quote on the page is your album title.
- Finally, go to Flickr. Click on "Explore the last seven days," and the third picture -- no matter what it is -- is your album cover.
That's Operation Pipe Dream, with People on the Way Down. Too perfect, right?
Of course, I couldn't leave well enough alone. Time to give it another try (click to enlarge again):
Yes, that's New England Nun, with Evil That You Can Change.
Clearly, this is too great to not try again (I'm sure you've caught up with the enlarging by now):
This one is Dagbladet, with Time to Start Your Day. That looks like an Elliot Smith singer-songwriter kind of album, doesn't it?

You should try some of your own. I don't expect you to take the time I did and actually create the album art, but the results should still be interesting.

ReplyDeleteLast Refuge of the Complex does indeed sound like an indie rock album -- the one that no one would ever hear of until Pitchfork gave it a 9.6 review. Great picture, too.
ReplyDeleteRobby, yours looks like a jazz or world music compilation record, to raise funds for Darfur or something like that.
And clearly, I have way too much time on my hands. As I said, if I didn't stop there, I'd just keep on going, and -- hey, wow, look at that:

It's sad, really.
