I borrowed this idea from another forum and thought it looked like fun. It's mainly for users of Photoshop, or indeed, any kind of image making software.

Here's how to play -

1) Go to Wikipedia and click on "Random Article" (Or click this link)

The title of the first random Wikipedia article you get will be the name of your artist or band.

2) Go to "The Quotations Page" and click "Random Quotes" (Link)

The last few words of the very last quote on the page will be your album's title.

3) Go to Flickr and click on "Explore the Last Seven Days" (Link)

Grab the third picture you get, no matter what it is, and crop it to a square. This will be your album cover.

4) Make your album cover and post it!

Michael*, this does look like fun. Unfortunately my own photoshop skills are pretty ropey! But I wanted to give it a go - quality aint all that, but I wanted you to know I was looking!

I swear this was simply serendipity - but I'll admit to a slight tinkering of the band name. The actual article was 'Monroe Bank and Trust', I just added the comma for an Emerson, Lake & Palmer feel! I hope the integrity of the game is maintained?

It was such a letdown after their classic first album Absolutely Spiffing.
