You may have seen this before on other areas of the interwebz. I think it's fun.

Create your own album cover.

1. Get your band name.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first article title on the page, no matter what it is, is the name of your band.

2. Get your album title.
http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last handful of words of the very last quote, no matter what they are, is the title of your album.

3. Get your cover art.
http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

You're on your honor to use the instructions above to obtain your album cover parts. I guess you could cheat, and choose your pictures and phrases carefully, but why?

Slap it all together in photoshop, GIMP, paint, etc. Your creativity is the only limitation. This may be a good opportunity to get familiar with GIMP so you can become a famous CC cartographer someday.

You can enter as many album covers as you want. Some will be better than others. At this time there is no clear plan to select a winner based on quality, but I will likely figure that out later and post a poll so we can vote on the best ones.

This thread will stay open for at least 2 weeks to allow any and all entries. Entries will be split into two pools based on the status of their entrant: Premium and Freemium. At the conclusion of the contest, a winner will be picked from each pool using some sort of random selection process to win a free premium membership. The premium winner (and I guess the freemium winner, too) will have the option to gift their prize to a freemium of their choice as a pay-it-forward type of thing, or keep it themselves. No splitting of the prize, however; I don't want to deal with the hassle.

I will enter my own album cover(s). I will be entered in the premium pool just like all other premium entrants. If I win, my prize will be gifted to a freemium.

Feel free to ask questions. Anything I've forgotten will be added over time. I reserve the right to change any and all of the above if I find it is necessary to do so.

Most importantly, have fun and good luck!

Following in the footsteps of their American proverbial forefathers---n*sync, Tzav, the Hebrew boyband for the new decade drops their next smash album hit: Love you back. "Love you back" follows Tzav's love of women, the world, and the wonders of gourmet food.

Get it now, while it's fresh and hot out the oven!

Yuji Katsuro's debut album, "A Single Day Is Enough to Make Us a Little Larger", is sure to be tearing up the charts. Yuji's interesting mix of anime soundtracks and ambient noise is perfect for the shut-in furry porn fan, or the l44t-speaking /b/-tard.

New from Ngarindo Milengar….

Counts Can Be Counted.

Sit back and relax as you enjoy the mellow tones of the Southern Chad Mouth Harp of Ngarindo Milengar. Let the dulcet twangs take you to a time and country where life was simple and as fulfilling as could be.

Swarga Loga...born in Seattle in the nineties, famous in the various underground bars...finally releases its best singles all on one CD. If you didn't catch them the first time around, its time to check them out, and see what you've been missing. Make sure you keep the valium close by though, because you may need it after listening to this collection of some of the most depressing music the nineties ever produced.

This debut opus from Brazillian rockers Vinhedo(named after the suburb from which they hale) is sure to have you dusting off the air guitar, donning the yellow spandex and playing to a crowd of 50,000 in your living room. They certainly have got it first and got it right.

Think REO Speedwagon meets Clannad and you'll pretty much have the sound of the 3rd album from Quincy Point Fire Station. With the release of the title track as a single they may well be making to much money.

edit: f*ck, I just noticed I remembered the quote wrong... I made it "Boring people" when it should've been "Boring person"... and I didn't think to save the layered file so can't edit it. Oh well, if I'm disqualified for this then so be it...
