The album cover meme

People seem to be doing this all over LiveJournal, but I couldn't really tell you where it started. I first heard about it from John Harper.

The deal (if you haven't already heard) is that you use random, Internet-provided elements to create a fake album cover. Specifically:

  1. The name of a random Wikipedia article is the name of the band.

  2. The last four words of the last quote on a page of random quotes is the name of the album.

  3. The third image on Flickr's "interesting photos from the last 7 days" page is the cover photo.

Now Photoshop the fuck out of that mess until it's believable.

Here's what I ended up with:


There is no way in hell that I wouldn't hate this band's music. This is fun meme, though, and I just might do it again.

Much thanks to denkedran for this photo. I think I got lucky, there.

Laura? Laura Roberts? Tell me you've got a blog somewhere around here!

Also, tell me you're not some total stranger who now thinks I'm insane.
