My fake album: St. John’s Episcopal Church, a Trifling Investment of Fact

Here is your task: Find your fake band and album.

Attention musicians, designers and underemployed friends with basic Photoshop or quasi-Photoshop skills.

1 – Click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2 – Click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
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’s “explore the last seven days” area at http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4 – Use Photoshop, Picasa or whatever software you like and put it all together.

5 – Post it as a note to Facebook and tag the friends you want to join in, or blog it and leave a link in your comments.

Here’s mine!

  1. I saw another user on Facebook doing this today, now I know what it’s about!

    The video clip you posted on my blog today cracked me up, thanks for that :)

  2. I love it! I do wonder how many bands actually use this method for naming albums/songs?!?

  3. [...] Thanks goes to GW (and her band) who tagged me. [...]

  4. Already done did that! January 2008

  5. I am so behind the times, Joanie. What can I say? It’s making the rounds at Facebook, so to me it’s brand spankin’ new. I need to make a few more of them. This was fun!

  6. Le premier album des Florida Oaks…

    Ne cherchez pas cet album dans les bacs des disquaires… car il n’existe pas.
    Dommage, j’aurais bien vu les Florida Oaks comme un chaînon entre Oasis et Rage Against The Machine :D

    L’album tout comme l’artiste sont totalement fictifs…….

  7. I used Yahoo’s Babelfish translation for the above comment’s French-to-English translation:

    Do not seek this album in the vats of the record dealers… because there does not exist. Damage, I would have seen well Florida Oaks like a link between Oasis and Rage Against The Machine: D The album just like the artist are completely fictitious …….

    Indeed, it is fictitious. That’s the whole point! :)
