I would love to claim that I came up with this all on my own, but that just wouldn’t be the the case. I found this while stumbling here. Apparently it was originally on the journal of Kevin Pease who does a web comic called Absurd Notions which looks pretty interesting and is worth a read as well - though I couldn’t find the original posting of this project.
But here it is reprinted for your fun and enjoyment.
So enjoy it, damn it.
How To Create Your First Album
1. You’re going to need a name for your band. Click here - take the article title as your band’s name. If you just so happen to load a page about a band - you might want to cheat and hit reload.
2. Next you’ll need a name for your album. Again - click here. Use the last 4 words of the last quote on the page as your album title.
3. No good album can be complete without some great cover art. For the last time - click here. The third picture on the page, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
4. Open the graphics program of your choice and put them all together and voila! your first album.

Be sure to look out for NHotR on tour this summer.

My band, South East Dorset Conurbation, will be releasing our first album, “Believe to be Just”, soon.
Thanks for your help!

Beth: Leez - very nice album. There was a band called ‘American Football’ - only 1 album and a few ep’s, but still one of my favorite albums. Ever.
Arjewtino: Good luck with your release - I hope it sells well!

Nice work all - I did this a few days back, my results are here (along with some other cover art notes)

Here’s mine - I think it’s some kind of experimental folk-rock synth pop band…

My band name is Signal Noise (which actually sounds pretty good!) the album name would be out of business and my picture is of a woman and child holding oranges up to their eyes — just kooky enough to be a great album cover
Cute meme!
