During my most recent wasteful passage of time scouring the Internet for globules of goodness, I came across an entertaining, useless exercise… Since I’m a musician, this was made even more humorous for me…

The first article title on the page is the name of your band. - http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album. - http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
My results?
Lookout Studio – Fast As You Can – (Image Credits)
The only way to last a really long time is to build something useful enough that people will want to keep it going after you die, and to cultivate a sense of ownership in other people. In short: make good shit and give it away as fast as you can.

Aridification – Make A Sudden Move – (Image Credits)
New York now leads the world’s great cities in the number of people around whom you shouldn’t make a sudden move.
David Letterman (1947 – )
And last but not least (this one made me laugh since SLA’s are just so humorous to begin with… at least in my workplace…)
Service Level Agreement – Rarest Thing I Know – (Image Credits)
Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.
Ernest Hemingway (1899 – 1961)
To be fair, most of these selections were first time through – but Wikipedia gave me some hardships because it liked spitting out names of people, countries, foreign names, and strangely enough – names of rock bands already in existence! And Flickr was just terribly slow (and they mentioned their databases being a little cranky right now… boooo!) So give your own cover a chance… Let me know what you come up with!
