Inspiration not needed
Getting a band together? New album finished?
Well no longer do you need to come up with a band name by using inspiration alone.
Try this:
* 1: Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.
* 2: Go to Random quotations:
The last four words (more or less if it makes sense) of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.
* 3: Cover art for the album sleeve – Go to flickrs ‘last seven days‘ section:
Pick the fourth picture.
So for my first band/album:
Band name: 8837 London
Album name: Intimidations of the Prophets
Album cover: Here

Band – Number-one albums of 2004 (Ireland) ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number-one_albums_of_2004_(Ireland) )
Album name – “On What Was Chaos” ( http://www.quotationspage.com/quote/1685.html )
Album cover: http://www.flickr.com/photos/41766282@N00/2882212274/
I think my band name could do with refining
Hah, my next click of “Random page” got me http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bird_flight which’d work well with the album cover. Spookeh!

‘May be your style’ by James Harrison (priest). And I seem to have actually managed to get a band cover picture for the cover art: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ippy_ippy/2875500717/

There were better images on the page but let’s follow the rules, and it’s not as good as Clurbs.
I’ve seen worse real album covers…
