got the idea from another forum I frequent: 1 - Go to "wikipedia." Hit “random” or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random - 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" or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3 - 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 and click on “explore the last seven days” or click http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days - http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover. 4 - Use photoshop or similar to put it all together. Preferably in a square format layout, like a nice old-timey vinyl album cover. 4,5 - Use the first font you find on your computer of the first letter in your name. I got: http://imageshack.us">  http://g.imageshack.us/img504/coverx.jpg/1/">  ------------- "The past is not some static being, it is not a previous present, nor a present that has passed away; the past has its own dynamic being which is constantly renewed and renewing." - Claire Colebrook |

Yours look much cooler than the one I whipped up. At least it looks more like the kind of music I'll listen to.

Use the print screen function, then paste into your photo manipulation program.

 I think the cover picture is nice; it looks as if it is a concept album about a saint resisting temptation to fall for black magic. -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

My original plan was just to look at what the result would be. It was too priceless to not be made. ------------- Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal. |

The title and the Engrish stationery-motif implies music that is profoundly disturbing.   ------------- "The past is not some static being, it is not a previous present, nor a present that has passed away; the past has its own dynamic being which is constantly renewed and renewing." - Claire Colebrook |

this is what I got: kind of ambiguous title in combination with that picture; I like the innuendo in it -------------  A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival. Ceterum censeo principiis obsta |

I'm totally using that picture and title for an actual album someday, so help me God.

 Not bad... I had to add a bit to the side as the photo was so cool, I didn't want to spoil it. Oh and I love the first one... Jalabert sort of makes me think of Jailbait and the image is rather apt!  -------------

Wow, I was lucky. That is a really cool combination. I think I might use it. |

it may be just my weird imagination, but somehow this picture makes me think of the Mafia habit of throwing people from bridges with a block of concrete around their feet.

Yeah. A lot of them look like they could be actual albums you could walk into a record store and buy.
