Hit and hope design challenge!

[grummMember]

Nicked this off facebook but I found it one of the more entertaining chain emails etc.

Hit and hope design? …it works!

1 – Go to “wikipedia.” Hit “random”
or click 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”
or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.

3 – Go to flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”
or click http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4 – Use Photoshop or similar to put it all together.

Here is my efffort. Bronislaw Zurakowki’s masterpiece:

Anyone up for it?

😛

[theflatboyMember]

nice one, here’s my (sorry, our) latest opus:

[CaptainFlashheartMember]

Foggaret Ezzaouia, with their difficult third album, “Uttered it a hundred times.”

Cover art;

[WorldClassAccidentMember]

‘Back in Love Again’ release their stunning debut Album ‘Meet Him, He will win’

We have been concentrating on the music so can’t do photoshop stuff

[PoindexterMember]

[grummMember]

Nice – keep em coming.

I was bored so I did another.

Personally I thought this album was over hyped, but the artwork is nice. 😉

[twinklydaveSubscriber]

rather sadly, i’m beginning to wonder just what th music would actually be like…

[IHNMember]

No photoshop or Flickr, but ‘When The Government is Wrong’ by Siege of Puebla will knock Girls Aloud off their queens of pop pedestal

[grummMember]

Hehe, that’s the weirdest one I’ve seen. I have been thinking about making the Bronislaw Zurakowski album. 🙂

[grummMember]

Siege of Puebla is a pretty good name too. 😀

[hp_sourceMember]

very random album cover….

[thisisnotaspoonMember]

Clarification:

what if the first random wikipedia entry is an album , i got
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stella_One_Eleven_(album)

second chance is “command center”

[thisisnotaspoonMember]

Artist: command center
Album: All phone calls are obscene

[wysiwygMember]

Mortal Kombat 3
“Folks is to listen to them”

[PotdogSubscriber]

OK, I’m bored today, so here’s mine –

Artist: Russ Nixon
Album: There is nothing better

[colandeMember]

[Harry_the_SpiderSubscriber]

lol

My Grammy Award winning effort

[theflatboyMember]

i had to do another. they sort of make me want to form a band just to release the album!

[Harry_the_SpiderSubscriber]

One for all of the shoe gazing miserablists.

[PotdogSubscriber]

One more while eating my sarnie….
No Photoshop or owt on this ‘puter so….

Artist: Ahmed Al Mousa
Album: Same way that bricks don’t

[theflatboyMember]

it’s interesting how all the results thus far are fairly plausible in every aspect. pretty good method and one that i’ll bear in my mind when i get my big break.

[RaglanSurfMember]

[theflatboyMember]

the last pogo – that’s a good name!

[WorldClassAccidentMember]

This is great. I have already seen three albums I want to buy and I haven’t even heard the music yet.

[StonerSubscriber]

NME completed trashed them, but Jo Whiley rates these guys very highly.

[twinklydaveSubscriber]

…but Jo Whiley rates these guys very highly.

lol

[thisisnotaspoonMember]

WCA, my thoughts exactly

I always thought putting together songs was easy, it was the inspiration i stuggled with, this is genius, even I could knock out an album a week using this!

[crikeyMember]

Uncannily excellent game!

Artist; Vermeylenfonds

Title: Marrying the whole girl

Cover:

[StonerSubscriber]

Recently played a session on Radio 3’s World Music Handshake late on Monday nights. The distintive percussive rhythm of Goyu Matafele’s belly slapping has often been likened to the melodic body playing of the late Simba Mnanayo. Pencilled-in to support Bruce Springsteen at Glastonbury this year.

[JulianAMember]

Shouldn’t ‘absurdity is not a handicap’ be our collective motto on this forum?

Some great albums there!

[theflatboyMember]

i’m collectively cheered by the photoshop workmanship on show as well – real consideration for the image and the text is shown in the layout of these!

[WorldClassAccidentMember]

Not following the rules but from Grumms original posting

‘Hit and Hope Design’ release ‘It Works’

[theflatboyMember]

i felt compelled to do another to represent my shift in musical direction since my previous projects:

[woody2000Subscriber]

Watch out World!

[twinklydaveSubscriber]

awesome to see live, Hapalospongidion’s shows leave little to the imagination and much to think about

[m0nster2Member]

In our previous incarnation, and before the breakthrough record deal.
Early 80s funk rock.
“Forgettable….” NME
