1. Go to "Wikipedia." Hit “Random Article” or click 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
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
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4. Use Photoshop or similar to put it all together


Here is mine;

I had to hit refresh once on the flickr page - on the first try the third image already had text on it.

Brought to you by Upton Sinclair, the City of San Francisco, and my lack of any software or experience, I bring you BARTE's debut album!

Or, for something a little more saccharine (literally!)

It works!
When in mortal danger,
When beset by doubt,
Run in little circles,
Wave your arms and shout.

Now this is what we're looking for. Debut album from Miyagi Baseball Stadium: "help us to be much more than what we are"

and their follow up offering: "It has you"
