The Debut Album Game

I would have put this on the 'spill but my registration hasn't come through yet, so if anyone wants to put this up there, feel free to. It's fun…
This was from Gareth and the E-mails are flying around.. those not in touch should join in... As the competent two are away I'll try a post this for you.... but I don't want any proper control. NO WAY.

--------

THE DEBUT ALBUM GAME
Follow these simple instructions to find the name of your band, your album title and your sleeve design. Childish but fun, says the man behind Manitoba Highway 110.

* 1: Go to 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:
http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four words (more or less if it makes sense) of the very last quote of the page is the title of
your first album.

* 3: Go to flickrs 'last seven days' section:
http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

This is saneshanes cool new band...or not!

    DsD is now the frontman for KXDG (named after a Classic Rock radio station in Missouri) and our debut album Madness Gotten Finer will be out soon, just as soon as we can figure out how to reproduce the moody black nail polish look of the fuzzed-out emo-goth bloke on our album cover.

    Excellent!

    My band is called "Big Point Mississippi" (BPM to our real fans) and we're proud to present our debut album "The Brain Is An Educational Toy". Our album cover, unfortunately, is shite - and I have no idea how to let you see it. All the other pictures on the page would have made brilliant album covers but, no, I had to get one of an averagely attractive woman, posing slightly seductively, but with a strangely sheepish look on her face...

    We are "Big Point Mississippi - Goodnight!"

    Is it cheating to find a new album cover because I didn't save the link for the first one? Nah.

    @ TonNL & ToffeeBoy - to you want to put together a 'Spill showcase tour? I asked Gordon but he thinks his lot might be a bit new-age limp for our moshpit crew.

    @ nilpferd - it's extract coffee from keyboard time again! Which one are you: StripeyBrat or BingedrinkerBrat?

    Anyway, got to go. I'm getting measured up for my stage gear this morning at the Harley shop: RRRAAAWWKK-KONN!

    Due to creative differences over the cover art, the Heel Lifts have broken up. Now here's Emilie Mondor, and her album is "You'll be shot at"...

    It is with regret that Last Chance Records are informing the world of the demise of ethno-metal prog rock combo Kavita Chhibber due to musical differences.

    However, singer and guitarist CaroleBristol has formed a new band from the ashes of Kavita Chhibber.

    This is fun.

    By some strange form of synchronicity my name is ShivSidecar, my difficult debut album is "A Love Supreme", and the cover art looks like this: http://kokomo.ca/images/perry_68_400.jpg . I've never been suave before...

    ...oh alright then. My band is C.J.Hooker Middle School; the album title is "Most Patient Of Teachers", and the sleeve art is here: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3131/2755616541_9b1714ac1c_m.jpg . It's a Christian-emo hybrid, edging into death metal. I can't explain it any more, some of you Just. Won't Get. It.

    I missed all the fun!! I can't believe how brillliant some of the bands/albums/pictures are. And toffeeboy & DsD you're mad geniuses (genii?)

    Shaun Marsh--not so much fun-- an Australian cricketeer. What would he or a band named after him play? An ACDC cover band, perhaps?
