I’ve been working on the tracks for “one has to do” since at least an hour ago. This is going to rock when it hits shelves.
Ha ha, not really.
I found an awesome [album cover meme](http://therecord.blogs.com/withinearshot/2008/04/the-greatest-al.html) on a Record blog (of all places), and thought I’d give it a try. It actually worked out really well. Okay, it would’ve worked out better if I had design/layout skills and more than the default Windows fonts, but ya takes what ya gets.
> **Step 1:** Obtain a name for your band by using [Wikipedia’s random page selector tool](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random), and using the title of whichever page pops up. THIS WILL BE YOUR BAND’S NAME, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT. No cheating.
>
> **Step 2.** Generate an album title by cutting and pasting the last four words of the final quote on the page you get by clicking this [random quote selector tool](http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3). THAT IS YOUR ALBUM TITLE, BY GOLLY.
>
> **Step 3:** Find your album artwork by clicking on this link to get a [Flickr photo that’s licensed under Creative Commons](http://mikelietz.org/code/flickr-ccgettr.php). YOU MUST USE THIS PHOTO AS YOUR ALBUM ART, GOT IT MISTER?!
>
> **Step 4:** Using Photoshop (or whichever program you prefer), mash all of these elements together and create your very own fictional CD cover. Ta-da.
My originals:
* [Band name](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_Bulletin)
* [Album name](http://www.quotationspage.com/quote/36070.html)
* [Album art](http://flickr.com/photos/69033469@N00/2389367270/)
Um, Squirrel?
That picture is really, really GROSS! (::shudder::)
I’m sure the music will be great, tho’. ;)
Sorry, Tink, but I had to use it. That was the rule.
Fits in nicely with my band name, though. :)
