Okay, I’ll admit that I did a 25 things and tagged my friends in it (sorry), but I don’t typically do Facebook memes. This one, however, I thought was kind of fun and worth a few minutes of my time – perhaps as a warm up for the literature typography project I’ve been planning. Plus I love album covers.
Band / Album Meme
- Go to Wikipedia and access a random article - the title of the first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.
- Go to The Quotations Page and select “Random quotations” – the last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.
- Go to flickr and click on “explore the last seven days” – the third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
- Use Photoshop or similar to put it all together.
Here’s what I got the first time:
The photo I got was this one called Golden Road, which I liked, but it made for a kind of boring album. I probably would not buy this album based on the cover. It looks like an album full of whiny, fake-personal-tragedy alternative rock that I hate.
So I made two more.
I would totally buy this album. It would be full of trippy electronica-inspired songs by a band from the UK, probably. (Photo credit)
Yet another … I might buy this, maybe if it was the first and only album of some California garage band with mediocre songs and average-looking girlfriends. The quote for this one was from Fight Club. (Photo credit)
Well, that was fun for a few minutes.
