Create your own band and album

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Shamelessly stolen from another forum, where it had already been shamelessly stolen from another forum...

Create an album cover as follows:

Band name: Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random Take the title of the first article you get.

Album title: Go to the Random Quotations page.
http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3 Take the last four words of the last quote.

Cover picture: Go to Flickr's Interesting photo page.
http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
Third picture, no matter what it is.

Put it all together to make your album. Either crop it to CD cover shape (i.e. square), add a border to make it square, or just use the raw image itself and pretend it's a funny-shaped cassette or something. The only rule is you're only allowed to add the album title and artist title.

If you're unhappy with either the name, title or picture, by all means refresh all three pages and try again. No picking and choosing though.

For bonus points*, describe the act.

No fake bio from me. I prefer to think of this as an actual album released by the Canadian Federation of Jewish Students...

- er, this ain't a Flying Squirrel ??? - Does it matter? Do we care?

Oh, and ... Nice idea James!, although you are already ahead of (some of) us on the 'technicalities' of all this though?! (It is your job, eh?!) I haven't got around to it yet, for which you may all be thankful?! - See one of your original replies (e.g. 'unleashing a Beast') ...

technical ability is not required, if you come up with a nice set of results just post them

I like these calm little moments before the storm. It reminds me of Beethoven. Can you hear it? It's like when you put your head to the grass and you can hear the growin' and you can hear the insects.

The unexpected success of this album with covers of eighties hits meant the final breakthrough of Tibetan musician Rayü.

the big question is - will it survive beyond tonight and/or the 25 post mark? :|

Here's my offering...

Self explanatory really - The choir from Sri Kumaran with their debut album. It's a concept album of sorts based on the varying degrees of endoresement and enthusiasm bestowed upon them by their parents.
Fairly emotional stuff - in a St. Winifreds School Choir kind of way....

In todays musical landscape, it is always refreshing to see a band make some real rock with real instruments that speaks to real people. Following in the tradition of such luminaries as Paul Weller, Oasis and Shed Seven, here come Novatus who, on their debut album "Open to the cowardly", serve up 10 songs that the common man in the street can relate to.

...and it was going so good for stellar cosmic prog until the cover came up...
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.
