NEWLY RELEASED...

...in the now-moribund CD format is this Fine Album.

Naw, I’m just kidding. This one is unavailable in stores... or pretty much anywhere else. It’s the product of a cute little PhotoShop-based meme Libby has been trying to propagate.

Create Your Own Album Cover!

It’s simple, especially if you have PhotoShop or some other image-editing software. Here’s all you do:
  1. Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random. The title of the article is the name of your band.
  2. Now go to http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3. The last few words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your album.
  3. Finally, go to http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days, where the third picture - no matter what it is - will be your album cover.
  4. Use PhotoShop (or any similar image-tinkering app) to put it all together.
  5. Post the result on your blog.
Clever, no?

I’m not tagging anyone with this, but if it’s your cup of tea, have at it. What I find amusing is that this random approach yields results that would look perfectly at home in the Remainder Rack of your local music shoppe. Say, does anyone still actually buy CD’s any more?

Update: Just for shits ’n’ grins, I did a second one:
