My totally fake band's fake album cover art meme

[beelikej]

Stolen from aerynvala. In anticipation of the new Panic! at the Disco album, I figured I'd imagine a cover myself. Of a fake band:) I quite like how this turned out.



This bandname and albumtitle made me think of Opus - Life is Live. Heh. Austrian Europop-rock. Ahw. What can I say. I was a teenager in the eighties; I grew up on shitty music :-p

Want to play?
1. Go to Wikipedia.org. Select 'Random Article'. Whatever comes up is the name of your band.
2. Go to quotationspage.com. Select 'Random Quote'. Choose any quote you like on the page, the last few words of the quote are your album title.
3. Go to flickr.com. Select 'Explore'. Select 'Interesting photos from the last 7 days'. The third image is your album cover. Instead I went to their Creative Commons, Attribution/Non-Commercial License pages and just grabbed one off there. IDK, it's a small thing, but I figure better to use art/pics from people who permit it.
4. Go to any photo editing site or use Photoshop/Gimp (it's free!)/..., and put your mad editing skillz to work.

Hey, I love your XL comments;)

I should really check out that German interview, back when it first appeared I was still on such a high from my trip to Berlin that I really didn't pay attention.

Ahw, thank you. I didn't learn English until highschool, but of course over here we are surrounded by it through films, tv and music. Fortunately I've had a lot of opportunities to practise my speech and expand my vocabulary, but it's definitely limited compared to how I can express myself in my own language (even if the dictionary is my friend;)

You are absolutely spot on about Brendon's songs on P.O.; from the opening lines to carelessly dismissing them as "ditties"; that's exactly how I feel about those lyrics. I also don't see New Perspective as a particularly happy song. Even if that has that sense of hope like the other two songs.

I'm pretty sure I deliberately opened up my journal and blog for search engines. I also always link to myself all over the place. Like it says in my intro: I prefer openness. Or I possibly have an unhealthy thirst for attention *g*

http://youtu.be/Kqd09nKLljY - interview :D

Wow, I took some French in high school & an introduction to Spanish in college and I'm fluent in neither. heh I keep meaning to get around to it, but that smacks of effort. ;)

The other day I was trying to help my BFF Bella create a fanmix, and we needed a song that expressed being happy and in love. Between the two of us we have really a lot of music. But we had the damnedest time trying to find something that would fit that mood. heh I think Nine In The Afternoon is the happiest song I have.

Okay, cool re: search/blog. It's set to open by default, so some people don't realize. :D

Finally sat down to listen to that interview, loved the explanation on Mona Lisa. Sweet.

Ahw, yeah, over here French and German are also mandatory classes in highschool (next to English and Dutch obviously;) but since I didn't get to practice those languages much in real life, I can't really manage them now. I can understand German, mostly thanks to watching tv, but I'm barely able to speak it. I made two studytrips to learn Spanish, in Spain and in Ecuador, but again; not kept that up, so I forgot most of the lessons:(
