Not sure if this goes here or not, seeing how it kind of relates to music.
Anyway, I Stumbled on the following thread and thought it was a decent idea. Anyone want to give it a shot?
" Your Debut Album
1 - Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random (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 (http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3)
The last four words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.
If you want to do this again, you'll hit refresh to generate new quotes, because clicking the quotes link again will just give you the same quotes over and over again.
3 - Go to flickr's "explore the last seven days" http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/ (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."

Haha, forgot to make my own *facepalm*

I can't help but think this has been done before
Oh wait, here it is (http://forums.questionablecontent.net/index.php/topic,18429.0.html)
Edit: Eh, I guess it is a little different. Here's mine:

Something tells me it would be crap. Entropic's and Prof's aren't bad, though.
-
sorry, didn't see that other one. It is kinda different though.

I hope I am not the only one that found that squirrel image hilarious. I imagine that one of them is trying to throw the other off the tree, but it looks like they are humping while climbing, which makes no sense at all.
David Graveney: That plays the devil
(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2400/2521300513_314d9601c7_m.jpg)
Not sure what that would be, the image seems like it would be a nature-based or irony-loving artist (like whatever band that was that had an eagle, a wolf, and some big cat on the cover, there was a thread about them that turned into fapping about mogwai), but can't figure out anything beyond that.
Quebec Route 273: You obtain a master

Hey it worked so well last time, here's another one:
Decatur City, Iowa - Creatures From Alpha Centauri

:?
-
Wasn't the thread about masturbating to Mogwai about MCR? Or was that just the immediate topic?
Anyways, this is a thread I will probably never want to see again and will keep on popping up in my "new replies" page, so I might as well contribute.
Boudoir- Till They Are Seasoned
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3124/2525084743_cb07174fbf.jpg?v=0)
Actually, that sounds like a really awesome band/album.
-
The tags are [.img] and [./img] without the periods. Put the url between the two.
-
The first one I tried to post wouldn't work either. It's on Flickr's end. If you try to "View Image" on it, it brings you a blank page. It only does this on some though.
-
I'll find one that does work, then.
Also: I did it again and got such great results.

Puracé - Combine In Real Love
Baroque style fusion of Arcade Fire circa Neon Bible, Spoon circa Gimme Fiction with the addition of Lightburn's passion for Jazz and Morissey. Gothic tension and romance the likes of which Ann Radcliffe herself would aspire to craft, set in a claustrophobic 1940's inner city Berlin.
I would love it if such an album ever came into exist, I'd name my daughter Puracé and play this album for all eternity.

I think The Nelson Report looks like a European band that's heavily influenced by West Coast American rock from the '60s and '70s. Maybe a touch bland but rather pleasant for a sunny day and some cocktails.

False Hellebore - Is The Concrete Cloverleaf
I rather imagine it sounding like Coil, but maybe more rock orientated.
-
This is no fun without actually making a cover art for the record. My choice was GIMP, but you could use MS Paint for what I care.
I've done this game before, so here comes some old stuff:

Naka River- Cigar We Willingly Smoke

Ocean and Coastal Law Journal- Choice to Take Action
Someone tell me what these sound like.
-
Naka River come across as an even mix of the Boredoms, Melvins and Warhorse. Utilising crushing riffs but with a playful sensibility they disregard vocals in favour of saxophone player Bernard Robbins, who weaves elegant melodies into the twisting songs on Cigar We Willingly Smoke.
Ocean and Coastal Law Journal have previously been noted for their intelligent, folk-tinged pop but on Choice to Take Action a more political edge comes into their lyrics as well a lusher instrumentation as they bring in cellos, violins, piano and even French horn to fill out their sound. The end result is something akin to The Divine Comedy and Belle And Sebastian collaborating with Phil Ochs and it works surprisingly well.

Metroplaza, the blues-inspired post-rock band, has recently released their new album, "Men of Sense Approve"(fucking SCORE huh).
That is a great album name. And a great cover. Damn you Jens.

My band will probably shorten its name later in its career. The picture isn't that great, and the watermark is annoying, but whatevs.

Completely insane post-rock that use all kinds of ethnic instruments, and a different one on every song

an indie concept album based on the story of the roman emperor Nero, but instead of an roman emperor, its a corprate record company CEO in the 1970's.

Kauppalehti - Can Do More Good
I have no idea what they would sound like.
-
Avant-garde abrasive synth music, I think.
-
Ambient duo "Welling, Alberta" are in the final stages of recording their debut album "Reason Shines but Dimly." Imagine a noisier "Stars of the Lid" with definite influences by Antarcticans and post-"we Move Through Weather" Tarentel, making the album shimmer with a hazy swirl of strings, guitars, piano and brass but with a menacing, noisy undertone of static and propulsive percussives which rears its head or lurks under the surface behind a veil of misleading calm. It's music for a placid nightmare until the final song when it devolves completely into a hellish storm of distortion and percussion. Here's the cover in full (there's no text):

37th Training Wing - At Two With Nature
A meditation on humanity's separation from the natural world and the dual approach to our surroundings it can create within us, 37th Training Wing's abusive guitars and thudding, ritualistic drums create dense, sinister backings for the shrieks of a man who sounds like David Yow in pain. Imagine The Jesus Lizard performing a pagan ceremony in a futuristic dystopian Tokyo.

Groeslon- "Living, It's Still Popular"
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3189/2532863179_6c8efcb551.jpg?v=0)
A folky, carefree summer-esque concept album about seaside diners and eateries. The sound is essentially a toned-down Pet Sounds-era Beach Boys with electronic elements lifted from Boards of Canada's "Music Has The Right To Children". 7.5 on Pitchfork.
Colophon Cassoni- "Sleep With The Earth"
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3239/2536967340_8a148447f3.jpg?v=0)
An ambitious album, both starkly minimalist and yet at the same time touched with flecks of grandeur, Colophon Cassoni's debut "Sleep With The Earth" is both a hodgepodge of different world music traditions (Brazillian Jazz, Flamenco, Russian Folk) mixed with sweeping post-rock soundscapes -- and a surprisingly cohesive album. Imagine Bedhead with a maxed-out passport and you have Colophon Cassoni.

Cloud & Fog Orginazation

Electronic elements and flowing lyrics make this album about earth's cold progression a chilling piece. it brings a mix of Dreamy and Eerie that put you into a daze filled with nightmares.

Texas Brown Snake - Theory, Change the Facts
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3163/2581599584_0a5034642f_m.jpg)
This post-hardcore trio has always had a bit of silliness to it. Implementing two female vocalists to sing about exploding armadillos along with whacked out keyboard and guitar parts, they create incredibly catchy post-hardcore that one would rather dance to than mosh to. Perfect for those hot summer nights where you just wanna take your shirt off and jump around, Texas Brown Snake is releasing their new album, Theory, Change the Facts, at the end of this month.

Anthony Cleasby -
Twilight Home in Australia
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3051/2579661704_048fd28488_m.jpg)
After years in the background, this yeomen Australian guitarist's debut album attempts to rebuild old fashioned rock n' roll from the ground up, taking the simple structure made famous in the 1950s by Americans suck as Chuck Berry and Buddy Holly, and dropping it in the context of modern Australia. Though at it's worst moments, it feels too much like an exercise in cheesy nostalgia for classic cars and young girls, it's best moments successfully celebrate the joys and ironies of middle age while winking at the humor of feeling nostalgic for another country's youth.

Biggest Bluest Hi Fi - And Have no Self
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3065/2586712828_4653740c99.jpg?v=0)
This post-rock british based band launched their debut album on 29th November, 2043. They were known for their electrizing performances on stage, and raging attitude towars the press. After 3 months in studio, the lead singer decided he was meant to be a goat herder in Iceland, and thus the band broke apart. They joined on stage in September of 2049 for their last performance. A memorable act, in which the drummer stabbed the bass player in the eye with a drumstick, and the leadsinger committed suicide on stage.

Carl Gustaf Löwenhielm - To Be An Orange
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3060/2570940279_d6d2384719_m.jpg)
Carl Gustaf Löwenhielm was a classical composer in the mid-1940's. Dysmaied by his lack of renown, he suffered from severe depression until the 1960's, where he was introduced to what we today know as LSD. He became a big endorser of this hallucinogenic drug, and composed his first psychadelic rock LP. His second album was recorded and produced, but was never titled. Löwenhielm (or Louie, as his imaginary friends called him) went crazy trying to find a album name that would rhyme with the first album. He died in 1997, in the Ravenholm Hospital for the Mentally Ill.

California is a fine place to live--if you happen to be an orange.
Fred Allen (1894 - 1956)
That's the coolest last 4 words, EVER.

That is also a fantastic album cover.

Does anyone else read through this and get profoundly disappointed that these albums don't exist? I want to listen to AMS (acute muscle soreness), Texas Brown Snake and Carl Gustaf Löwenhielm.

Mossie Dowling- Desire Creates the Power

I think this one would be a combination of Explosions in the Sky, Shearwater, Songs:Ohia, and Andrew Bird.
