So, as Zion once said, a fun and highly creative internet game that's been around for a while, and also featured on Miscellaneous on a number of occasions. Basically it goes like this, for those who don't know: 1) Go to Wikipedia and select a random page, or use this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random The title (ignoring any disambiguation suffixes) of the first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band. 2) Get a random quotation from this page (NB it may produce pop-up ads) http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3 The last four or five words of the very last quotation of the page is the title of your first album. 3) Go to flickr and click on "explore the last seven days" as per below: http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/ The THIRD picture along, no matter what it is, will be your album cover. 4) a random name generator for song titles. Suggested use: http://watchout4snakes.com/CreativityTools/RandomWord/RandomPhrase.aspx Set the generator to adjective - very common, noun - very common, or noun, noun, that seems to give the best results. As they say in the classics, I'll start. Tracks: Tough Pants Returning Dinner Combining Fear Attention Hack Impossible Assistant Two Naming Relative Company Replacement Close Partner Crash Hypocrite Isolated Refrain Bonus track: Admitted Confectionery (Name: Simiolus: Netherlands Quarterly for the History of Art Quote: Dying is a very dull, dreary affair. And my advice to you is to have nothing whatever to do with it. Somerset Maugham Image: Winter Sepia by corrada2000 This isn't one of the better ones. My favourite is the one below, from 2009.) Tracks: Otherwise Writer Constant Lock Paid Discipline Forward Deal pt 1 Forward Deal pt 2 Using Plastic Close Written Hotel Earth Medium Movie Population Model Opening Arrangement Closer Reader Little Broadcast (Wow, the phrase generator was on fire! I might have to write some of those songs. )
I'm getting...80s/90s vibe? Grunge? Hard Firecracker Reckless Cop Setbacks At The Steering Wheel Secret Fairness Respect Your Thoughts Imperfections Follow Me Everywhere Surprise Time Burning Nature Smells Like Compromise Step Away From The Hand Grenade
I have no skillz with photoshop or any other picture manipulating programs so this is going to have to be text only: Hackerence - "A Rough Lump Of Marble" Songs: Meaning Wild Precise Opening Just Expression Hearing Complexity Resulting River Harmful Stable Secure Greatest Displayed Port Growing Behalf Safe Hardware Grave Broadcasting Forgotten Conference Stopping Gasoline Reverse Subset (quite a diversity of sonic tapestries on this album. From the country/metal fusion of "Harmful Stable" to the environmental activism of "Stopping Gasoline", to the Rammstein-influenced calypso of "Grave Broadcasting," there's something in there for everyone. Although "Safe Hardware" did make the band subject to accusations of selling out for a commercial jingle.)
The random song title generator link gave me an error 400. I found another site though. I admit I did come up with the titles for tracks 4 & 5 myself. They seemed fitting. band name: Soviet occupation of Poland album title: they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets Tracklist - 1- Eternal Soviet 2:23 2- Crimes Of Occupation 3:12 3- Polish Night Tears 3:03 4- Tanks For The Memories 2:57 5- Occupation Opus 1:21 6- Chased Out, Will Return 3:56 7- Poland Follows Me Everywhere 3:26 8- Remembering Occupation 3:33 9- Eternal Soviet: Reprise 2:12 ©1945 Soviestsy Rekords/ Sovietsky Musik
Love this game! Track list 1. Raw Comfiness 2. Signalling Background 3. Banzai Fairness 4. Shh Forgotten 5. Beyond Bulk 6. Into Shortfall 7. Why Oxygen 8. Unique Overcensor I think i win the 'most unwieldy group name' award. And i want to hear both Raw Comfiness and Beyond Bulk
^And I'd like to hear Shh Forgotten. Widely unknown outside Scandinavia, the Swedish band Mukim-Mukim, are with the English-language version of their début album För ett rent samvete. giving an international audience a taste of their raw, yet melodic, mix of highly danceable traditional Nordic folk-music and Country & Western tunes. The Sci-Fi inspired social comment in the lyrics might not be to everyone's taste -but they are hilarious! Tracklist: comparatively strong move after efficient host rejection overwhelming plus sneak market classification subtle damp joint lesbian exit beyond agreeing now expired quiz about scientifical farewell processing
^Yup, that phrase generator has some weird shit going on Personally, I'm rather fond of expired quiz - all about quizzes on television.

Internal Luxury 9. Whirlingly Approaching Intermix i reckon Palomar Observatory (brilliant name, if i start a band i'll name it that) would sound like depressing emo-indie music
Eleven soft-metallic tracks about the non-existence of deities... well it's better than Hosanna! Musics album... even if that isn't saying much. Tracks: Blue Vinyl Situate Recursion Invisible Feasibility Naïve Sum Neglected Gentleman Acting Executive / Disturbed Principal Enough Compassion Distorted Fly Continued Drama Visiting Orbit Happier Era
IdeaPad Y Series - "Legislature Is In Session" Tracks: 1. Like Home Interference 2. Complicate Nicest Motive 3. Traveling Crisp Supernatural 4. Condensed Milk Pi 5. Boiled Preferred Reservation 6. Complacent Environmental Citizen 7. Refreshed Diet Ax 8. Ended Automated Situating 9. Stray Optic Action 10. Overnight Overdue Cause 11. Distorted Stimulated Rumor 12. Petty Insufficient Threshold (I was disappointed at the overt political content but I did enjoy the Kraftwerk-inspired country jazz of "Stray Optic Action" and the Middle Eastern influenced a cappella swing of "Condensed Milk Pi.")
