Thursday is taking ideas.

I really dig the album cover meme over at Dead Baby Jokes. So I decided to do one as well. Then I thought maybe you guys would dig on the idea. Thus the rule sharing:

1. Click on this link. The title of the page is the name of your band.

2. Click on this link. The last four words of the final quotation on the page are the title of your album.

3. Click on this link. The third picture is your album cover.

4. Take the pic, add your band name and album title and tada! (this final step requires photo shop or other image editing software)

Let me know in the comments if you created one. If you don’t have the software for such time passing leave your results in the comments. Tell me the name of your band, the album title & describe your cover art.

We’ll have an imaginary blogapaloooooza.

That’s so cool!
I’ve played at work though, so can’t put it all together. I may have to try again at home.
I wanna be a rock star!

Cute. I tried to do it, but I couldn’t quite make it work. I guess I’m not that smart :)

Waaaa, I don’t know how to create the pic. Which I guess obviously means I don’t have the software!

Band name: 8250 series
Album: Invisible Means of Support

And the pic was of a girl taking a polaroid photo. But I forgot to save the link, darn it.

That absolutely freaked me out. First tries, no cheating… (although I looked at a bunch of photos cause it was fun…) and my album title is “Love And Be Patient”.

Is this an album title or a personal mantra we’re after here? :*
