Album Art Competition

So not really a competition because every element is randomly selected. And yes, this is one of those annoying facebook thingies that clog your inbox. But mine actually turned out half-way decent. Don't think I'd ever call a band "Hound," but the picture's cool.

Ok, so here's the rules:

1 - Go to Wikipedia. Hit “random”
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 Quotations Page and select "random quotations"
or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four or five words of the very last quote on 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 and post it!

Pretty cool, huh?


UPDATE- 1st submission by TRACY: PALIKIRUS COSMETUS!!!


Ann's Band: WICHITA WILD!!!!!

Hipsters: Shrugging Themselves into Oblivion

http://www.adbusters.org/magazine/79/hipster.html

"Hipsterdom is the first “counterculture” to be born under the advertising industry’s microscope, leaving it open to constant manipulation but also forcing its participants to continually shift their interests and affiliations. Less a subculture, the hipster is a consumer group – using their capital to purchase empty authenticity and rebellion. But the moment a trend, band, sound, style or feeling gains too much exposure, it is suddenly looked upon with disdain. Hipsters cannot afford to maintain any cultural loyalties or affiliations for fear they will lose relevance."

"It’s an odd dance of self-identity – adamantly denying your existence while wearing clearly defined symbols that proclaims it."

"...too self-aware to let themselves feel any form of liberation; they shuffle along, shrugging themselves into oblivion."

"The hipster represents the end of Western civilization – a culture so detached and disconnected that it has stopped giving birth to anything new."

Oh snap!!!!!!!!!!
