Random - What's your debut album?

I was organizing my bookmarks yesterday and hit this link that was shared by "someone" (whose identity will not be disclosed but will definitely recognize himself if he ever makes it to this blog - haha) sometime back.

Made me smile, had to share.
So... Ever wondered what your first album would be if you had a band?
Here's a quick/fun way to find out:

Step 1:
Go to Wikipedia (special) , then click on "random article"
The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

Step 2:
Check out random quotations.
The last four words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.

Step 3:
Go to Flickr and click on "explore the last seven days".
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

Here's my *very successful* debut album:

I highly recommend wasting 3 minutes of your precious time on this little exercise - the results might be surprisingly good!

Note: If you end up being curious, I would love it if you could leave a comment and share the results :)

My album cover credits go to Kerry Pringle - who happens to be an excellent photographer.

Listening to - Radiohead



I surrendered to music downloads.... Well, I had no choice really :)

In Rainbows, Radiohead's new album, is only available online for the time being (the "physical" album won't be available before december) - The concept behind the website and the launch is brilliant.

I haven't had enough time to absorb it fully and decide which are the tracks I like the most, but I have a feeling I won't be able to pick any of them; It's just excellent, pure Radiohead bliss!

Don't waste any more time... Download it here.

PS: Thank you Mayz for sharing the love!

Listening to - Editors



Besides the fact that I'm an internet junkie, I actually am a big music fan as well.

I truly believe that music makes the world a better place.
So I've decided to add a section where I'll be sharing what I'm listening to: new, old, it doesn't matter.

Featured today is the Editor's latest album: An end has a start.
Been hooked on the first track, "Smokers outside the hospital doors". It's really good.

Check out the Editors' site here.

Note: I'm old school. I rarely download songs. I like to buy CDs, look at the covers and spend hours browsing in stores. I am very picky about what I buy, and love my collection :)
