Hi people, Today I was shown a simply astonishing thing on the web. It shows you just how easy it is to make an album cover. Just follow these simple steps:

1. Go to Wikipedia and click random article, this will be your band name.
2. Go to Flickr, go on "last 7 day page", pick the third pic, this is your album cover.
3. Go to wiki quote and click random article, go to:
http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last 3 or 4 words on the last quote on the page is your Album name.
4. Assemble the components with photoshop, paint ect and post results.

Heres what I got:

**Soup and a roll**

'Seaweed (disambiguation)' as a band name?

I think that endeavour will fail a long time before it gets off the ground.

Very hip prog rock band, by the sound of it.

This delights me to no end.

**Kilkrazy**

That's not an album cover. THIS is an album cover.

Worked well enough for me. Don't know about the picture, but I like the names.

No, I just got caught up in Killkrazy's 'real' album cover and forgot. Either way, they are still awesome.

Ah well thats fine, id probably prefer it though if we tried to stick to the "home made method".

**Monster Rain**

To help move things in that direction, I thought I'd make another.

**vodo40k**

Keep 'em coming people.

**Mike Noble**

Lots of numbers for titles. Its kind of weird.

**Locclo**

I seem to get a lot of numbers when I do random pages for wikiquotes, so that might explain it. In five clicks of the 'random page' button, I got 4 different numbers.

**Ahtman**

While I am not against the idea of this thread, it does have some limitations as far as getting people involved:

-must have or at least feel comfortable with a photo manipulation program.

-must have hosting once the picture is finished to be able to show it here.

**Monster Rain**

I, on the other hand, enjoy this thread immensely.

**snurl**

I like this thread.
I did not make this, but it is one of the bestest album covers ever:

Note if people are having problems with step 3 and only really getting numbers or names, go to:

The last 3 or 4 words on the last quote on the page will be your album name.

**vodo40k**

To keep things moving....

**Perkustin**
