Just For Fun #1
ROCK BAND + FIRST ALBUM

The Rules

1. - Go to Wikipedia and hit random. The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2. - Go to quotationspage.com and hit random. The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.

3. - Go to Flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”. Third picture... no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4 - Use Photoshop, picnik.com or picasa, etc. to put it all together.
