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.

My totally fake band's fake album cover art, thanks to:
1. Niederhof on Wikipedia
2. Quote from Oprah Winfrey:
"Understand that the right to choose your own path is a sacred privilege. Use it. Dwell in possibility."

You Fake Album

Hey ran across your post w/ your fake album and I just wanted to say great work! I run a website called Figment (http://www.figment.cc) that is a free game based around fake bands - you basically create a fake band and an album like you've done above and then release it. You try to rise up the charts and gain fans. We've got a lot of people doing it, so I thought it might be fun for you to put Niederhof's album up to see what kind of reaction you get from our players. I hope you'll check us out. Keep up the great work.
