That is all.

  1. Go to the Wikipedia random article generator and note the title of the randomly selected article. This is your band name.
  2. Similarly, go to this random quotation page and note the last four words of the last quotation. This is your album title.
  3. Now to Flickr’s interesting photos feature . Download (or screengrab if necessary) the third picture. This is your album cover picture.
  4. Now put the whole lot together in the photo/graphics application of your choice. Populate your imaginary music business with exciting acts!

So, without further ado, I give you my debut album:

Gray Light Car - Learn To Have Patience

No doubt more will appear, as and when I feel like making them!

**UPDATE** I’ve now started cataloguing them on the “Albums” page, here.

I’ve been toying with Flickr badges for a short while and was convinced I could make them look better…

Here’s my first attempt – what d’you think?
