dadaist bandmaking meme.

I generally make it a habit to ignore the many memes of the internet, but I gave this one a try and I'm adamant that this IS my future band and this IS my future band's transition* into the glam genre. This is Sergio Toppi.


* Transition meaning our coke abuse, indecent exposure on stage and affinity for cross-dressing/same-sex experimentation has finally become lucrative.

I like this meme because I actually can't sing or play any instruments, but it fuels my deluded fantasies of someday doing both these things and earning mad money and fame while I'm at it. The rules, then, are thusly:

1 - Go to Wikipedia. Hit "Random"
or click 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"
or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
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 seven days”
or click http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4 - Use Photoshop or similar to put it all together.

5 - Kill yourself for admitting to the world that this is what you do with your time.
