A beautiful Llullian idea, which deserves a better name than CD Cover Meme:
- Hit Wikipedia’s random page selector: the title is the name of your band
- Hit this quotation site’s random page: the last four words of the last quote are the CD title
- Get the third image on Flickr’s interesting page, or, even better, use this link, which gives a random photo from the interesting pool which will be CC-licensed
Then use Photoshop or whatever and build the CD cover.
It’s such a lovely demonstration of the creative exhaustion of the mainstream indie aesthetic that I can almost here Momus writing a post about it now.
You are quite correct.
“appearance of doing something”!
That’s just what distracting memes like this give me at work.
you, me, and everybody.
You can get random Wikipedia pages in multiple language from Wikirandom: http://www.wikirandom.org
I love doing that! I just finished like 6 of them. It’s quite fun. http://wp.me/pEYdy-6C
