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.

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.

My original plan was just to look at what the result would be. It was too priceless to not be made.

The title and the Engrish stationery-motif implies music that is profoundly disturbing. ConfusedLOL

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! LOLEmbarrassed

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. "What Makes Us Human" gets a totally different meaning that way

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