The Super Addictive Album Cover Meme

I've seen a few variations but the one [livejournal.com profile] lonita (@LJ for those reading this on IJ) found is the most fun in my opinion.

The front cover:

  • Your band name is the title of your first hit on Wikipedia's random page
  • Your album name is taken from the end of the last quote on this random quotes page
  • Your album cover must be made from the fourth picture on Flickr's interesting photos page

    The back cover:

  • Reload Flickr's interesting photos page twice. Take the seventh picture, desaturate it.
  • Reload the random quotes page. Take the last few words of each quote to make song titles. Use them all.*


  • *I set the number of quotes to 15 (the default is 10) for the back cover part. And then I reloaded and took the end of the first quote for an unlisted bonus track.

    Douglas & McDonald's Railroad must be popular, Johan's Ark seems to have done a cover of "Coexistence is Codestruction" and MGI apparently extended "A Foolish Thing".
