Meme: Album
I love memes. Rather than being mere space-filler, for me they’re the equivalent of online gaming. Not all memes, of course, but if it looks fun I love to participate.
I first saw this meme over at Karl’s, played it right away, got busy on Twitter and forgot to ever post it. Just for the hell of it, I played again today and got much more pleasing results. Lucky you, you get to see both results!
How to Play:
- Go to Wikipedia. Click on Random Article (left hand side). The first article title on the page is the name of your band.
- Click Random Quotes. The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.
- Visit Flickr. The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
- Use your graphics program of choice (I used PSP) to throw them together, and post the result.
I cheated today. My third picture was a BIRD. I don’t do birds, EVER. I hit Reload! and used that third picture. Here’s my newest result:
And here’s the first one I did. Unfortunately, I forgot to write down the photo’s info, and have been unable to find it again on Flickr.

No birds?
….Ever?
I’ve never tried a meme, but this one has tempted me.

Aunt Robin: I’m referring of course to the flying feathered creatures, with which I have a VERY BAD HISTORY. *Human* birds are always welcome!

So I shouldn’t get you “The Birds” by Hitchcock as a gift, ever?

Hells bells, I had no idea you had a thing about birds.
I like both of your album covers for different reasons but I think the top one is the coolest of cool!

Birds are evil. great big feathered bringers of nightmares. Ugh. Cool album cover though ‘For What I Am’ totally sounds like the name of an album I would own.

Avitable: NO. And can I just say how much I did NOT appreciate the zombie crows in Resident Evil:Extinction, which I so eagerly awaited?!?!
Hilly: Hmm. I must have told that story before you became a reader of The Write Coast. And thanks - I also think the top album is the best!
Bec: Absolutely agreed! On both counts.

I had no idea you hated birds. Wild. My mom also hates birds - it stems from being traumatized by Alfred Hitchcock’s movie she tells me.
I love the top album name and cover. awesome!

I really like this meme. But what do you have against birds? (Other than the disease that they’ve been carrying around lately?)

I looked at your second graphic and immediately thought, “I know that font…”
Dear ghods, I am such a geek.
