1 - Go to "wikipedia." Hit “random”
or click 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"
or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album. (make sure you hit the new random quotations button at the bottom)

3 - Go to flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”
or click http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4 - Use photoshop or similar to put it all together (http://www.picnik.com/) works well, online.

Funny how randomness is usually way funnier than the average internet user. ;)

Ah, I'm sorry; I only searched the humor&jokes forum.

Anyway, it's surprising how many of the covers look like actual covers. :)

Removed the brackets around the last word of the band name (used to be "The Gift (book)"). Apart from that, unchanged.
