Thanks to roguebitch for cluing me onto this. I've been entertaining myself for the last couple hours with it.

The goal is to fabricate an imaginary album cover by the following means:

Pull a random wikipedia article. The article's title will be the "band's" name.

The album's title will be the last 3-6 words of the bottommost quote returned by quotationpage's random quote search.

The cover art will come from the third image returned from flickr's intersting photos from the past 7 days.

Then the three elements are combined and cropped to produce the album cover art.

It's amazing how often some really good results come together. Here are that amused me enough to warrant a couple minutes to slop together in mspaint.

In all cases, apologies to the owners of the photographs. I didn't have the foresight to annotate them, and so cannot credit the originators. I believe this kind of usage falls under fair use doctrine and I mean no offense to the owners of the photos nor do I have any intention to profit from the works.

Anyway, thanks rogue. This shit is hilarious. I'd say it produces good results at least 70-80% of the time.
