Default The Fake Album Game
Totally stolen from someone on reddit, but it's pretty fun.

Here's the game.

Click this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random article title is the name of your band.

Click this link: http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four or five words of the first quote is the title of your album.

Click this link: http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
The third picture is your album cover.

Here's mine:

Just realized I screwed that up. Supposed to be Ethiopic, not Ethiopian. I blame autocorrect

LOL, these are great. And I wouldn't even question the validity of them if I saw them in a record store.

This is a pretty old meme, but one of my favourites. The first time I ended up with a pretty cool combination. Very punk/metal/industrial. (This is some years old. I have no visual talent. sorry )



I did it a couple of times now, just for fun.

I'm thinking this is a country album written inside a mental institution.



And this... Some kind of LSD-influenced paranoid electronic noise art project I'm guessing

You get better results if you cheat

For mine the band name and album title were legit, but the album cover I was supposed to use wouldn't let me save it, so I just picked my favorite one off the page that would work for me

My original cover was supposed to be a picture of an orange with a white background, would have actually been a great cover
