That is all.

]]> http://www.rossedwards.net/2008/02/83/feed/ 0 My new album… http://www.rossedwards.net/2008/02/72/ http://www.rossedwards.net/2008/02/72/#comments Fri, 15 Feb 2008 12:35:38 +0000 Ross http://www.rossedwards.net/2008/02/72/ OK, not *mine* in a strict sense but I did make it up, based on these instructions gleaned from Adrian and Clive:

  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 spotted it on Clive’s site and thought it worth a go. Oh well – in for a penny…

Latest music meme. Let iTunes pick 13 songs at random and interpret them as the answers to these questions:

1. What do you think of me, Random Music Player?
Space Cowboy – Jamiroquai
Eh? Wha’? I know I can be a tad unfocussed at times, but steady on…

2. Will I have a happy life?
Eugina – Salt Tank
Nope, you’ve lost me there.

3. What do my friends really think of me?
Beautiful Strange – Bedrock
Wow! Thanks… I think…

4. What does my S.O. think of me?
Angel – Lionel Richie
That’s a nice thought. I’d rather be alive, though. (And what’s Lionel Richie doing in my iTunes library?)

5. Do people secretly lust after me?
Tequila Sunrise (live) – The Eagles
Only after a drink, obviously! Must be something in the orange juice…

6. How can I make myself happy?
Everybody Needs Somebody To Love – The Blues Brothers
Quite. I couldn’t have put it better myself.

7. What should I do with my life?
The Harry Lime Theme – Anton Karas
Black marketing? Murder? Or should I be The Third Man?

8. Why must life be so full of pain?
The Searchers – Max Steiner
I suppose searching can be painful, especially if you happen to stand on an upturned plug whilst wearing socks…

9. How can I maximize my pleasure during sex?
Fire Garden Suite: Bull Whip etc. – Steve Vai
Hey-hey! Things are looking up!

10. Can you give me some advice?
Californication – Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Hmmm… hot – damn hot :-)

11. What do you think happiness is?
Lighter Shade of Green – Steve Vai
I agree. Or purple. Or blue. Or maybe puce?

12. Do you have any advice to give over the next few hours/days?
Relax – Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Nice idea, not a snowball in hell’s chance though!

13. Will I die happy?
Headlong – Brian May
Well, it’s served me well so far! Carry on, chaps…
