Is this how Indie Rock bands get their names?


I read about this CD Cover Meme on flickr. People are creating CD covers for fictional bands using the rules below.

1. Random Wikipedia Article
The first article title on the page is the name of your band.

2. Random Quotes
The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.(You might want to click the random button at the bottom if you plan on doing more than one of theses.)

3. Random Flickr Images
The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

This seems to be created by/for graphic design types. But it's a pretty good time for anybody. You don't even need to bother making a CD cover. Just get the band and album name, and see what picture pops up. You're bound to get some pretty funny combinations. I did a few. They're not very good, but I love how these three random bits end up as a pretty believable album. I mean take a look. "Degenerate into Hard Work" by the Graduates. "Rich in Life Experience" by the Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project. I can't make this shit up. Ha. "Talk About Other People" by The Chosen One: Legend of the Raven. Apparently that's a Carmen Electra movie.
