Birdsfan Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 I saw this little game on Facebook that offers a unique (but random) way to name your mythical band, find the title of your first album and even discover the cover art. I did this, and the results were eerily accurate. Here's what you do: 1 - Go to Wikipedia. Hit “random... Read More” or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random The first random Wikipedia article that comes up is the name of your band. 2 - Go to Quotations Page and select "random quotations" or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3 The last four or five words of the very LAST quote on 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 The third picture in the top row, no matter what it is, will be your album cover. 4. Post your results here. --------------------------------------------------------------------- My bands name will be "Equisetum Variegatum". (It means "variegated horsetail." That seems about right. ) Our first album will be "Bright Loveliness in the Eternal Cold," which actually sounds kind of cool. Here is our album cover. This not only goes perfectly with the album title, it's also funny on several levels.

westsider Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Group: I did it four times ... the first time I got Brett Williams, an English soccer player. Then it was Franklin Sands, a guy that lost a lot of money in Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme. Then it was Pennsylvania Route 532, and the fourth time it was Koloni, Koutiala, a city in Africa. Album: I did love this one ... Fair Chance at Being Incompetent.

LRCW Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 You're only supposed to do it one, Brett. What did your album cover look like? Give him a break. His first album explains why he had so many problems coming up with a band name. :lol:

MountainThunder Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Band name: Weldmesh is the term given to the kind of barrier fencing that is manufactured in square or rectangular mesh from steel wire, welded at each intersection. It is usually affixed to steel uprights. Weldmesh is a relatively cheap fencing solution but has the advantage over chainlink wire of not bending so easily and not being so easily cut. It is therefore ideal where a low level of security is required but where chainlink fencing is too easily overcome. Weldmesh is also sometime used in reinforcing the reinforced cement concrete works.
