Random Album Cover

My friend Fosco just posted a blog meme, and for a change it’s one I actually like so I'm going to make my own.

The concept here is the random album cover. Fosco’s source, Ted Gideonse, lays out the rules.

1. Use Wikipedia’s random article page to find your band name.

2. Go to the Random Quotations Page. The last four words of the very last quote is your album name.

3. Visit Flickr’s interesting photos page, the third image, no matter what, is your cover art.

4. Use Photoshop or Paint.NET to put all the pieces together.

5. Post it to the group!

I got things started at Wikipedia, with my random article being on on the Aventura Mall in Aventura, Florida. It’s the fifth largest mall in the United States, housing over 250 stores.

My random quote was:

Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life.
—Dr. David M. Burns

Which makes my album title Forward With Your Life. That’s actually not bad.

I hit the jackpot with the photo, pulling a really beautiful black and white piece by Kent Mercurio

Put together we get this:

What kind of music do you think the band should make? I'm thinking they're something along the lines of Dakota Suite.
