Righteous CD cover meme image pool happening on Flickr these-a-days.
1. First, you’ll need a name for your band. This will be the first article title on WikiPedia’s random page selector.
2. Now for the all-important album title. Grab the last four words of the very last quote on the quotationspage’s random quote selector.
3. And of course, the album art. Yours will be the third picture, no matter what it is, on Flickr’s most interesting page.
Run your elements through the Photoshop sausage grinder, emulating the style of an album you already own (if you like), and out comes an album cover that looks like it could be at home in the Indie or Alt.Whatever section of your local record store.
To get yours into the pool, you’ll need to join the pool, then go to your uploaded image and click the “Add to pool” link right above it (I’ve always thought Flickr made the process of playing in photo pools unnecessarily complicated).
That was fun. Thanks!
Here’s mine:

Unrelated, but thought you might be interested — A group called the Bang On A Can All-Stars recorded a live version of Brian Eno’s Music For Airports. It’s over at eMusic. Almost picked it up, but I’m out of juice for the month.
Nice one! Thanks for the Bang/Can tip – put that in my save-for-later for next month’s download. Very cool of you.
