My new band, Emperor Go-Mizunoo. We're kind of Maroon 5-meets-Josh Groban.
Here's a useful meme to generate not only your band name, but your first album cover! It's kind of like Making Your Porn Name 2.0. Commence with the time suckage!
1 - Go to Wikipedia, hit “Random Article.”
The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.
2 - Go to The Quotations Page, hit “Random Quotes.”
The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.
3 - Go to Flickr and click on “Explore the last 7 days.”
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
4 - Use Photoshop/MS Paint or similar to put it all together.
5 - Host it and post it the comments, mother hubbards!
My band is Emperor Go-Mizunoo and our first album is "When Secretary Generals Are White." We've kind of got an early '90s, Better Than Ezra/Toad the Wet Sprocket/Gin Blossoms alterna-pop vibe. Only with more auto-tune.

Malta at the 1928 Summer Olympics
with our album "Suddenly it's about 'doing'"
We're a art-rock band with a sardonic sense of humor. (judging from our name)

Choi Kwang-Do:
"The Convenience of the Hour"
We play very Zen instrumental ambient improvisation, a la Fripp & Eno.

Nabataean, "The Way of All Flesh" (album art: http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd... )
Still working on our sound--but it will be indescribable, like nothing else you've ever heard, and/or mellow funk.

alm77, I could ask you the same question regarding your near-perfect album cover. It looks like something released by a Dave Matthews cover band. Lovely.
And smerdy's is indeed pretty awesome.

Yes'm, followed the rules and everything. There were actually even better photos on the flickr explore page I was given—notably the sunset silhouette of a rather ripped, shirtless man cradling a baby.
I did like your shot, too... "Over the Rainbow and Dreaming" perhaps.

Announcing Jerome D'Souza's new album, "Revenge Has A Killer Body"
http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index...
(Must have MySpace to view, I guess.)
On his solo album debut, D'Souza combines the sitar sounds of his native India with elements of American glam rock to create an elegantly layered Kenny G meets David Hasselhoff on Acid vibe that can only be described as uniquely Jerome D'Souza.

Here's my album cover on a public site (It may not be pretty, but I've invested a lot of time on this and I'll be damned if nobody can see it): http://picasaweb.google.com/ftankard/...

Dup, I think "There When It Goes Off" works. Kind of leaves that wonderment of what does it mean?
Frank, your cover is BEAU-tiful.
Smerd, my "*really*" was a "WoW! Really??" not an accusatory "oh, really?" just so you know.... I'm astounded that you got a picture of a guy and a freaking guitar.
Which leads me to ask, why have none of us come up with a cover of some gawdawful party pic or the obligatory shirtless dude taking his picture in the bathroom mirror with his cell phone??

This is soooo stupid. But I do want to play keyboards for a band called Tank Wars.

Alm, for that to happen, we'd have to get random pics from MyFace, Spacebook if you will.
I came out with some Lillith Fair fare.

Yeah, after I asked that, I realized it says: Explore / Interestingness / Last 7 Days
I would suppose "interestingness" would indicate above average photos.
