Flickr Album Covers

Here's something to kill about a half an hour or so...
  1. Go to a random page in Wikipedia by clicking here:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
    The first random Wikipedia article that shows up is the name of your band.

  2. Get a random quotation by clicking here:
    http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
    The last three to five words of the very last quote of that page is your album title.

  3. Go to flickr by clicking here:
    http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
    Click on the third picture, no matter what it is. Scroll down and look on the right, under Tags, to make sure you don't see this symbol with the copyright info.
    No Derivative Works
    If you don't see it, this picture will be your album cover. If you do see it, the picture's copyright excludes it from this game. Just go back and hit refresh/reload to repeat this step.

  4. Use photoshop or similar to put it all together. (I use www.picnik.com)
Here are two more that I did.
(This next one is creepy, isn't it?)
