Weirdly intriguing meme.

From [livejournal.com profile] tahnan:

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.

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 first album.

This can work surprisingly well. For instance:

Silly

Of course, "List of ship decommissionings in 1950" doesn't work so well as a band name...

I tried saving the pic that I got and it didn't take. Gah.
I guess I will try again later. No idea why it didn't save. *shrug*

My album is called "Squirrel Cage of Self" and the band is "Ptolemy XIV of Egypt."

The picture, however, is of a rather exotic bird. Surreal...

I was about to get all snotty that it's the Allegheny County Fairgrounds, because we used to go to festivals there when I was a kid. But then it turns out that there is, in fact, an Allegany County in Maryland. Go fig!
