How to create a new band the easy way
Anyone else played this game?
1 - Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.
2 - Go to Random quotations: http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3 or http://www.quoteland.com/random.asp
The last four words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album. You can refresh if unintelligible.
3 - Go to flickr's "explore the last seven days" http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
Put it all together, that's your debut album.
It's hugely addictive. For example:
Check out the new solo artist, Philip George Houthem Gell, whose album is "Admirable inventions of man". Former frontman for some US Alt-rockers hits middle age, cue solo album

of earnest plodding through various aspects of the human condition.
That's your Friday afternoon sorted.....
