Try this:

instructions:
1 - Go to 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: http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your album.

3 - Go to flickr's "explore the last seven days" http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

Use these random elements only to make the album cover.

Here's mine:

What program are you using to create your covers? MS Paint?

16 Feb 2008, 9:05pm
Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended

You can do most of what I did in paint though, photoshop just makes it easier/quicker. The hardest thing to do in paint would be the faded line.

I don't know how, over a period of almost two years on Icrontic, I manage to miss threads like this.

Anyways, my album, which is done crapily in MSPaint because I am at work with no access to Photoshop:

Makes for a better video game than a CD, but whatever.
