Band and Album generator.

Postby Arloest » Mon Jan 28, 2008 2:43 am

This has evidently been floating around the net for a while, but in celebration of finishing that gigantic whore beast of a top albums list, it seemed appropriate.

Want to start a band? But too lazy to come up with a good band name? Not to mention a first album title, and a cover? Fret not, for the innernette has done you a solid. It’s a simple four step process.

1. Go to the Wikipedia random article page. Whatever the title of the article is, that’s your band name.

2. Check out random quotations. Go to the very last quote on the page. The last four words of that last quote are your album title.

3. Hit up Flickr’s [url=http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/]“interesting photos from the last seven daysâ€

Waiting for the moment to arrive...
Show us the silence in the rise,
So that we may someday understand...

here's a good one (I didn't do that well in the other version of this)

[22:26:35] <MuffinSticks> And exactly 6 chips

Arlo, I guess you forgot that one of the two "Your band" threads had the same rules. Either that, or you wanted to restart it with a less confusing title.

The other one's a joke topic though.

That thread died it seems. And THIS one has Step 4: "You WILL make the album cover and you WILL like it!", which the other did not.

That being said...

gforce422 is awesome because:
-He made the absolute nicest comments about me in the other topic. I didn't respond to them yet, because I suck, but they are greatly appreciated! =D
-I would say he would also be a good runner up as one of the nicest people alive.
-He joined the IRC sometimes. But not enough, I say! Chat moar =D
-He is evidently only 18 year old but he could easily pass for 25. =D
-He is a drummer like *I* am and this in itself is cool.

the full article title was "Romanowo, Lower Silesian Voivodeship", but I think we can all agree that Romanowo is a good shortened version of that.

That "Conrad Stantos: The Universe is Winning" looks like it could be an actual album. Making one soon.
