my album cover

This is my new album cover! Well, actually it’s a cool thing I saw on a blog while stumble-ing today. It involves visiting sites and using what you get in Photoshop or similar paint program. The game goes like this…
(you may want to middle click these to open them in new tabs)

  1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
    The first article title on this page will be the name of your band.

  2. http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
    The last four words of the last quote on the page will be the name of your album

  3. http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
    The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

  4. http://www.livejournal.com/random.bml
    Click on the users info link and look for the italic subtitle below the bold blog name. That will be your first hit single.

  5. Use a graphics program to put them all together like I did above and share it here..

For completeness, here are all the urls that came up for me..

Out From Animals – unsigned band

October
20

I love Saturdays because sometimes, early in the morning I get to watch a couple hours of TV with no one around.

Today I saw a program on Channel 4 about unsigned bands and one really stood out, not my normal musical taste but they rocked and after listening to a couple of their tracks on their Out From Animals Myspace page I was impressed.

I really like the difference between “when there were real heroes” and “listen” but also they both had elements of electronica, indie and rock in them. I like when you get samples of old educational films over parts of the track and you can zone out a bit on a track with layers of sound in them. Not too trancy though. “listen” was like this, I can imagine myself listening to this on the train.

The lyrics to “when there were real heroes” are quite good too, as well as the overall sound.

I bought their album straight away from the Out From Animals Website for a piddly three pound fiddy!

Now I feel nice for supporting an unsigned band! Here’s their latest album ad on myspace.
