Wikipedia Names your Band! *time waster*

[Freezeblade]

Ok, so mulling abound the internet when not in work, and I stumble across this little guy: Wikipedia Names Your Band [PIC] Which quite successfully makes a band/album title/album art combo that works quite well most of the time, and is especally entertaining if you are a few pints in if you know what I mean.

A few of mine so far:

I figure that this is a emo-y metal core band, probably sounds like HIM mixed with Hawthorne heights.

Hm, synth pop/indie rock from some eastern country, I think.

Japanese Ambient, totally.

Post yours!!!


*and no, you don't have to make it a proper cover, I just liked messing with it.*

OkI guess im a tard because I cant figure out how to make the cover. Do you have to do it in photoshop?

Yeah, I just wiped up some quick photoshop. if you want, just post up the artist/title, and a link to the photo.

I'm going to go with a kind of whiney, Jewel-esque (but with better teeth) acoustic female singer/songwriter, with an apparent penchant for organization. OCD people need music too!

I can only get tiny GIFs from Flicker. How do you snag the pictures?


EDIT: snagged a jpg, but just remembered my proxy here at work doesn't allow me to upload pics!


Hyogo Prefecture
...she finally began to enjoy being a woman
To San Francisco 610 miles south ? Portland Oregon 124 miles north.. on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

This would totally be some indie hipster band that would certainly get a little angsty...

 

[Freezeblade]

Here's another one:

Irish singer/songwriter, kinda along the lines of Kristy McCall probably

Year Thirteen, "Interesting Sadness"


No idea how to transfer the pic. It was a black and gold (as opposed to black and white) photo of a bell tower viewed through near field branches.

This is fun!

Frozen - It Is Not Success At All (meh)
Very - I Miss You Like Hell
(kinda spooky)
(the above two were albums/songs of their own, unfortunately)
Vandalia-Butler City School District - The Uttermost Exertion of Their Abilities
Arctostaphylos canescens - Nudity and Espionage

That one was kinda cool. Just one more, I promise.

Wateni - I Am Filled With Music

 

[MoRoToRiUm]

Nice...

 

[Freezeblade]

Yeah, I should totally be working on my design project, but making up the covers is far too much fun

Totally a sigur rós rip-off band

 

[aekdbbop]

[Freezeblade]

wow

HAHAHA! that one's good. how about this?

Happy Hardcore. All the way.

I did a couple these bored on friday:

Malanga: Judge only their actions

B Channel: All you're doing is recording it

 

[Freezeblade]

totally an activist punk band.

[olllllo]

This has spooky coherence.

Ok, one last one before school:

Alt-rock, totally

 

[Yuri_Rage]

Mine was actually pretty fitting:

Probably a Pink Floyd inspired prog-rock band...

I'm going to go with a kind of whiney, Jewel-esque (but with better teeth) acoustic female singer/songwriter, with an apparent penchant for organization. OCD people need music too!

I've always found a little snaggle tooth to be sexy, especially on Jewel.

1 - Go to Random Wikipedia
The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2 - Go to Random Quotes
The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.

3 - Go to Random Flickr
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4 - Use Photoshop or similar to put it all together. (Gimp is free)

5 - Post it here.

Artist: Meat Glue
Album: smelleth so sour as shame

[HVBrewtality]

[aekdbbop]

sorry, people do it to me all the time!

Same thing for Mac, right click (or control-click) and "Save As". Then open it up in photoshop or Gimp, put in your text. I then save it as a .jpg and import it to Photobucket.

weird it keeps trying to save a green dot

You know, I thought it came out nice. Maybe I'll start writing some songs...get a little band together...that kind of thing. Yup. That sounds good. I'll quit my job first thing in the morning.
