MY NEW ALBUM
While I am not much of a fan of the FaceBook memes--being an old, angry, curmudgeonly sort of guy--I did enjoy this one, forwarded to me by my pal Xian.
1 - Go to Wikipedia. Hit "random"
or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random Wikipedia article that comes up is the name of your band.
2 - Go to Quotations Page and select "random quotations"
or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
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"
or click http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
The third picture in the top row, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
4 - Use PhotoShop or whatever to put it all together.
5 - Post it to FB with this text in the "caption" or "comment" and TAG the friends you want to join in.
The result of my efforts is posted above!

Original, sticking fully to the rules. Sounds more like a solo project:

I LOVE this meme.
haha! Everyone keep posting your own. These are great. I'm gonna make more too, uhhh, when I'm not at work.
i made a bunch of these about a year ago:

mmmyep. i don't have photoshop, so i just used MS paint.
oops. looks like the links got cut off.
blogger has been having a lot of weird problems lately...
Wow. I'm always surprised how things like this float around. I first heard this over a year ago (someone even crated a page then to automatically generate the info: http://rbng.coldforged.org/). Then all of a sudden in the past week or two it finally exploded. Kinda like a really slow delay bomb.
Sclager totally sucks. They're just a bunch of sellouts now. I was totally into them when they were indie, but now that they're on a major label they suck. I remember seeing them @ the 8x10, and they totally rocked, they even did a cover of "Tie a Yellow Ribbon" and they tore it up. But now they're just cashing in and playing the hits for all the lemmings out there.
FUCK SCHLAGER!!
Pretty nice: http://i44.tinypic.com/33bmmvd.jpg
So awesome:

I love this meme so much.
Somehow the results I'm getting sound quite plausible.
I'm hoping to get some nonsense next.

http://s5.tinypic.com/24uyjb6.jpg
That was a lot of fun.
I was glad to finally find a crazy combination, but now that I look at the finished result, it does look like a sort of plausible hardcore album. This meme is magic.

Here's mine. Almost looks like a real album, but doesn't really match me.

And the track list, based on the rule I heard about which is basically "google the name of your band and album. go to the third page. select the song titles out of the text of the 10 results on that page":
1. LOL, Soulja
2. Army - Small Wars Council
3. A Cross Dressing Pakistani Television Presenter
4. Margate FC, What More Could You Want?
5. MELBOURNE, Jan 18
6. The Only Self Goal
7. Match :-(
8. They Only Really Have One (Sometimes 2)
9. And Also a Hundred
10. Lahore Unit
I want this.

I wonder what kind of music that band would actually play.
Not got photoshop installed but....

Too lazy to shoop. Thus, text.
Band Name: Yuri Trutnev
Album: "Spends very little on office supplies"
Rock on!
Naming our band after another band's song was kind of lame, but I like the title of our first album.

Hmmm. I think I'll have to break the rules on this one....the first Wiki article was "List of Square Enix Compilation Albums". While I'm currently enjoying Chrono Trigger on my DS, that's just a really dumb name.

http://s629.photobucket.com/albums/uu18/Budo99/?action=view¤t=Skinmanliver.jpg
Band name: Skinman
Album name: Through to your liver
Disturbing how the band name and the album linked up perfectly.
We are Yamabe Flow. Please check out our new album here:

Chuquibambilla is a mouthful for a band name - I like it.

This was actually a sweet little experiment. Pretty stoked with my results.

Which kinda looks like my overly-arty follow-up album to a critical darling.
Hey Jeff, since you're so into music would you care to share with us in a blog post some words on your favourite video game soundtracks? Among my faves are Doom, Star Control 2, The Longest Journey, and The 7th Guest.
Sweet! Don't have time to Photoshop these since I'm work...strangely enough actually using Photoshop.
Here are a couple names/albums that came up for me:
The "Could Really Be a Band and Album" Category:
Band: Anchusa
Album: Lower Middle Class
Band: Longfellow
Album: In The Long Run
The "Totally Awesome and Funny" Category:
Band: Worora
Album: Better Than You Dare To Think
Band: Rod Coleman
Album: I Gave Up Reading
Band Name : United States House of Representatives elections in Iowa, 2008
First Album : It's what drives men mad, being methodical.
Album cover : http://www.flickr.com/photos/anjoudiscus/3302151679/
Killer Nuns, a plane ride away!
haha where was this in high school? Me and my buds spent days trying to figure out a band name...(we should have rehearsed, we sucked)
Seriously, this is too much fun.
http://s5.tinypic.com/106hd8h.jpg
The title and pic worked surprisingly well together.
http://tinyurl.com/ckvmjk
band name: Dealer's Choice
album: Psychology in the world
http://www.flickr.com/photos/bonze/3303592169/
it kind of works
Surprisingly perfect.
Band: List of trolleybus systems in the United Kingdom
Album: CAR COULD GO STRAIGHT UPWARDS

I used to work at a classic Rock station here in NY, and we used to get these demo albums from these no-name bands daily. They all thought we would drop the over-analyzed, field-tested, and pre-programmed playlist in place of their "never heard of your crap" B-music. These look and sound exactly like every single one of those albums.
Holy crap, did I get lucky, 3 times!!!
http://fredgolden.net/jeffgreen_fallrisk.jpg
That worked too well.
Band: 1957 World Figure Skating Championships
Album: things we haven't been taught.
Cover: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tg_bb/3298132499/
This band will be awesome.
It seems like everyone I know discovered this all of a sudden. Being too lazy to use photoshop I put up a web app to do these:
Album Cover Generator
My band is here: Regrettable Lutefisk

:D
Here's my attempt at this meme. It kinda could be a real album cover.
