As usual I’m weeks late to the party on one of these, but here’s mine.<\/p>\n

The idea behind this meme is that you combine random info from randomized sources to create a CD\/Album cover for your fictitious band. Ikinci Qala brings a sort of Ladysmith Black Mambazo vibe to mind and the album title\/artwork meshed surprisingly well. I feel like my band is probably loved by hippies everywhere and is often a special guest at folk festivals.\u00a0 Apologies for the shitty graphic quality, stuck with only Paint on this computer.<\/p>\n

\"album\"<\/p>\n

Here’s how to play along:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1 – Go to “wikipedia.” Hit \u201crandom\u201d
\nor click en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Special:Random<\/span><\/a>
\nThe first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.<\/p>\n

2 – Go to “Random quotations”
\nor click www.quotationspage.com\/random.php3<\/span><\/a>
\nThe last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.<\/p>\n

3 – Go to flickr and click on \u201cexplore the last seven days\u201d
\nor click www.flickr.com\/explore\/interesting\/7days<\/span><\/a>
\nThird picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.<\/p>\n

4 – Use photoshop or similar to put it all together.<\/p>\n

5 – Post to Flickr\u00a0or your website.<\/p>\n

For funsies here’s another one I did later on… classic (it’s spooky how often the image\/band name or title match well):<\/p>\n
