Punk.of.Ages

I picked this little game up off the internet somewhere. It's a fun one.

How it works:

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 of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.

If you want to do this again, you'll hit refresh to generate new quotes, because clicking the quotes link again will just give you the same quotes over and over again.

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

Put it all together, that's your debut album.

*****************************************

Mine is:

An Sgurr - Lost. We're Locationally Challenged.



(My original cover was a baby, but i refreshed so I didn't violate any rules.)

Is this some sort of cruel joke?

Punk.of.Ages

Oh god, that's hilarious!

Castle Park, "That I Fled From"


Wow, that works pretty well. Nice game, PoA.

And yes, it looks like Nonsense to me as well.

Getty House - I promise not to




This is pretty neat. :]

Yeah, I second thought after I posted it that it probably belonged in nonsense.

I knew if everyone else felt the same it would just get moved, and here we are!

Redlemon

My band just broke up, so I'm starting a new one.

Girlie Men, "That I Fled From"


...crap. That didn't go as well as I hoped.
...and the photo didn't work. Are some photos protected on Flickr? I got an overlay or something.
...edit again, found it through Firefox and uploaded elsewhere.

I've played this game before, it was on a design blog...and they expected you to come up with a cover from the random image...

like this:

__________________
Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.

Fernando Pessoa, 1918

Edit: Am I missing something? How do I get the image address of the flikr image? It keeps giving me a generic placeholder url!

Church, flickr puts a transparent gif over the picture so you can't right click on it. I have found the RIP extension for Firfox to be efficacious in removing that gif and exposing the picture below to right clicks. basically, if you have spaceball.gif in your URL, you didn't pick up the picture.

My band dumped me because my bass playing was too awesome and overshadowed everybody else in the band. So this is my new band and our new album:

Prunus - Be Trusted Than People

Redlemon

I discovered that fronting a band called "Girlie Men" is not a way to impress the ladies. So, quit that and joined...

Agrippa Hull, "Always Wanted to Do"


(I don't have the image skillz to add overlay text to the image, sorry.)
