The CD Cover Meme

List of Asteroids The CD Cover Meme:

1. quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.

2. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first article title on the page is the name of your band.

3. flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

Here’s the original photo by Kent Mercurio.

Update: Hi, everybody from USA Today’s Pop Candy, Stumble Upon, and various other interweb netsites. Thanks for visiting. (While you’re here, snag my RSS Feed to subscribe to posts and try The Very Daily Weblog out for a bit.) Just to set the record straight, the CD Cover Meme wasn’t my idea; I’m just participating like the rest of you. I’d give credit where credit’s due, but I honestly have no idea where it started. Flickr, maybe?
