Generally I don't like memes but every once in a while one comes along that catches my interest and makes me want to do it. Mal's great Letter to Myself at 13 for instance.
I'm not sure where this one started but I first saw it on Prepon's blog the other day, then over at Malicious Intent. It involves clicking on supplied links, following the instructions, and combining the random text and photo into an album (can we still say album or is it CD nowadays?) cover. So I clicked on the links. I have to say, if the random stuff had been lame I probably wouldn't have bothered investing the time but honestly - I might just have to take music lessons and round up some other musicians just so I can start a band with this name. Especially since I've written a post about this response AND it came up again just the other day. How's that for synchronicity? Anyway, I liked how it all came together so I thought I'd share. Here's what I ended up with:
Pretty sweet.
Here are the rules and links for anyone else that would like to try:
1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random The first article title on the page is the name of your band.
2. http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3 The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.
3. http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/ The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
4. Use your graphics program of choice to throw them together (I'm an amateur, so if I did form the band I'd hire Malicious Intent to do the graphics - she does really nice work).
Have a great weekend everybody.
