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…

Lets see what you get….

Here’s a couple more that I made (no refreshes allowed, you have to choose whatever comes up (even russian tag lines!) )

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.
