I’m not normally one for this kind of bollocks, but this one tickled me somewhat. Not in the bollocks. It did, however, make me wonder just how many of today’s bands actually are taking the “random name” approach when it comes to 1. their own name and 2. their album titles. Particularly pretentious emo whiners.
Anyway. I came across this on PMOG, which I mentioned a couple of entries ago. There’s a whole thread on their forums about this which is quite entertaining if you’re into that kind of thing.
Here’s the deal: First go to this link, which generates a random Wikipedia article. The article name is your band name.
Next, go to this link, which generates some random quotes. The last four words of the last quote on the page is your album title. Repeat this step if you want to generate some track titles.
Finally, go to this link, which is Flickr’s “Explore the last 7 days” link. The third photo on the page is your album cover.
I came up with this.
