Erin did this meme a few days ago and naturally I had to give it a whirl.
The BAND meme:
1. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first article title on the page is the name of your band.
2. www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.
3. www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
======
My Results:
1. Lenjan County (a county in Esfahan province in Iran)
2. "...cabs and cutting hair"
3. Click here for the photo.
Um...yeah.
Wow. Just... WOW. Right on, yo.

I nearly spit coffee on my keyboard over that photo. Thank you.

I think my eyebrows are permanently affixed to my hairline, courtesy of that photo. I was innocently thinking "'cabs and cutting hair'. Hmmm. That's purty cool, esoteric" and BAM! I clicked on the picture.
I think you'll make it platinum.

That's awesome. My band, Moises Alou, has a boring first album ("Have Some New Cliches") with a picture of a bird on it. Just a bird.
Your album is so much better.

I'm ganking this for my blog because I need material for today. Thanks for the idea, and in return, my band will open for yours. It'll be awesome.

Okay, this is fun and I am stealing it for my blog. That picture is hilarious.

I am totally stealing this for my blog today, too.

I have a feeling I should look at the photo after work!

I refuse to accept this meme, because I would have to trade in THE BEST BAND NAME EVER (The Incestuous Pandas) AND THE SECOND BEST BAND NAME EVER (Fingering Husbands Rectum) for ... "Weyburn, Saskatchewan." No album cover could make up for the uncoolness of that name.

WOW. You guys are hardcore awesome.
Maybe my band, Thompson v. Oklahoma (whoo hoo, we're against executing teenagers!), can open for you. Our album, "Gone Stark Raving Mad" is quite good. You should see the cover of this album. It is a bunch of teenage girls molesting a statute of Jesus. We are not sold in Walmart.

I give you my album cover.

I seriously love how many of you partook in this meme. Really. Hee!
And out of the bajillion Flickr photos, I'm the one who ends up with the totally inappropriate cover art. NICE.
