Find your debut album!

[Dragon]

My brother showed me this from a Star Trek forum he frequents. I thought the idea was too awesome not to share. :)


Here's a fun idea:

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!

Following those instructions, and applying a little Photoshoppery, here's mine!

I Don't Need Them, by Ventura Rodriguez. From the picture dimensions, I guess it's a cassette.

Decided to try another:

Let's see yours! :)

"Can Change by Itself" by Quartiere Gammarana (Teramo)

(see attachment for album cover - I guess I'm a female then? :p)

For curiosities sake :), here's the actual stuff/links I got:

Ahh, Niedernwöhren; we were a German grunge band back in the mid nineties.

Alas, artistic differences forced an eventual split after the release of our first album No Sorrow to Die. After which I, apparently, changed my name to Denmark (to further emphasize the rivalry with my former bandmates?) and released a solo album of sad, poetic, intimate confessional songs called Infinite to the Finite.

So when I was in high-school, I was this wannabe punk duo. I would record soundclips from the Nintendo 64 and then play them back whilst my friend would thrash ineffectually at this banjo we found in a thrift store. It only had two strings.

Since then, I've refined my style. I took a real interest in the politics behind punk, ditched the Nintendo and got myself some music tuition.

Doi Moi - it means innovation. I don't mean to sound pretentious, but this is the greatest album created in the last 50 years.

When I woke up this morning, I was surprised to discover that I had transformed into a bald, Russian folk singer, who happens to share his name with the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Army. :|

My album is just eerie sounding, perhaps it talks about the number of US troops in Europe in either WW1 or WW2?

Well I can't hardly remember what music we made in the 90s since me and my buddies from "1614 in science" were always on drugs or on top of our groupies or both at the same time. We did a lot of extasy and cocain so I think we did some German Elektro stuff.
We made some crazy experiences with Mary Jane (I think this was her name but anyway...) who had always something to smoke with her. She did not only give us all a clap she gave us the inspiration for our debut album title too: Wings with high thoughts.

I just saw this being done on Facebook, sooo bump for more album-y goodness

[Rossos Atrapes]

Well, we were an eclectic mix of hard rock and Christian undertones; I was the lead/rhythm guitarist. We got our name by spinning a globe really fast and choosing the first city Jansen's, then Mike's, and finally my finger landed on; for the first few practices all we could do was sit around because they broke their fingers when we forgot that those older metallic globes' frames were very close to the globe itself.

The second band was one of my own making after Jansen decided to go into electronica and house music. Heavily influenced by the Pogues, I decided to get a bunch of national Irish players to make the music more authentic, and we named the band after the town in which we found our last member, the drummer, Donnie. The cover was from a photo of Donnie's grandpa, he showed me in the cornerstore while I was buying a pack of smokes, and the album was named after we discussed the fact that no one really hated Canada.

busy making other plans

I was an Bukaroo Banzai wanna be, put together this new romantic pop album, sold well, 'til they found out I was a girl and not just a glammed up pale fella with feathered hair.

[Park Kraken]

A little weird on my latest one;

[Rossos Atrapes]

After Corrimbla horribly failed, I decided to take a backseat approach and merely did Pop and Dance music from my Dorm room while another guy sang and got to put his name on the album.

So me and some guys from the philosophy department started talking. And we realized that what we had to say could only be communicated in the form of music. So we started the Darwin-Wedgwood Family. I really think it's a unique trialogue between religion, culture, and science, which is echoed in the instrumentation with, like, eastern traditional, western modern, and power tools. It's like a whole new kind of spiritual experience.

Sometime after we broke up, I ran into this girl at a poetry reading, and she handed me this sheet of lyrics that were just unbelievable, like, if you rolled up all the emotions into one big super-emotion, that's pretty much how it makes you feel, it just creeps into your soul and rips it to shreds like some sort of soul-shredding chestburster alien, and, man, you're so much the better for it. I told her whenever she wanted to cut her first album to call me, and man, am I so glad she did. Sure, the lyrics are explicit, but you just can't censor this stuff.

[Captain Untouchable]

We're a semi-serious comedy band, with humourous lyrics. The title song on this album is about a woman in search of the perfect man: someone who'll get out of bed before her in the morning and having a steaming mug of coffee ready for her when she wakes.

I never get bored of making these :3

[Rossos Atrapes]

Well, I just wanted to break onto the music scene so badly I signed up with a guy I normally wouldn't. He took all sorts of drugs to get inspiration, and we ended up sounding like a bad rip-off of The Mars Volta and At The Drive-In. Only, when he got to picking out the name, we ended up with some river in Europe.

After that, I split. I didn't care anymore. Fortunately, some of the stuff I did with C.A.R. (as we came to be called), was noticed by a humorous soft-rock indie chick of all people, who took her stage name from some village in Poland that her family was from. Her lyrics were satiric, and our songs were awesomely folksy and Southern Rock.
