My New Favorite Way to Procrastinate

The Fake Albums Group. I found this little gem of a facebook meme today. Here’s the rules:
1: Go to “Wikipedia.” Hit ‚”random… Read More”
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 “Random quotations”
or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
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”
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.
5: Repeat until your term paper is late, your boss is angry, your library books are over due, etc.
ok, so maybe i added step 5, but anyway… here’s mine:

oddly enough that looks like an album i’d probably buy.
upload yours to the comments, i want to see!

    I just wanted to promote my favorite band, called “Canadian Xtreme Paintball League”. Their album “Knock, and it shall be opened to you” is stellar. Look for the album cover of an HDR shot of a crumbling abandoned fireplace. Finest music ever recorded.

  3. Sasha says:

    My second favorite album would have to be “Pool Party: Those Who Talk Badly” ;)
