Random Album generator

A friend recently posted one of those silly "try this" posts on his Facebook account. It was three steps to generate an album (band name, album title, album photo). It goes like this:

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.




Because I had nothing better to do, I tried it, and although slightly disappointed with my band name, the results were rather uncanny. I feel as though my album already exists somewhere... probably in a bargain bin in an antique shop. My album is here..
