msmcknittingtonSimple idea really, follow these three steps:
1.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random - the article you get will be your band's name.
2. http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3 - the last four words of the last quote will be your album name (you'll need to refresh this page each time you want a new album name).
3. http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/ - and the third picture will be your album cover.*
If you aren't allowed to download your flickr pic just view the source and search for 'src="http://farm' and you'll uncover the url. Eg. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3215/2699654347_7bac7e3c01.jpg?v=0
You can photoshop your album cover if you like.
Band name: Islamic View of Mary (which is actually not a bad band name)
Album name: The Tediousness of Life (Full quote: "Art is merely the refuge which the ingenious have invented, when they were supplied with food and women, to escape the tediousness of life." -- W. Somerset Maugham)

I feel like this would a female Modest Mouse-like group crossed with Tori Amos and maybe that guy that Natalie Portman is dating, who is weird and South American, only this group would be strange and . . . Lebanese. All the band members would have dark, soulful eyes, except for the oud player, who would have startling gray-green eyes. They would write slightly jaded and cynical music, because they are in fact second-generation Lebanese-Americans. It would frequently address human rights issues and call for peace in the Middle East, but in interviews they would laugh about it, because they know it's never going to come.
