Make your own indie album cover
BJ | February 27, 2008 12:24 pmThis one is circulating forums and blogs, but hasn’t hit anything like Digg yet, so some people might not have seen it yet. It’s a fun exercise though. Here are the steps to making your own indie album cover.
Step 1: Band Name – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first article title on the page is the name of your band.
Step 2: Album Name http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last 4 words of the very last quote is the name of your album.
Step 3: Album Cover Art – http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
Step 4: Track List http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Randomredirect
The first 11 or so articles you land on will be your tracklist.
Here’s what I get.
Band Name: Anetumumab
Album Name: Spring of Happy Quotations
Cover Art:
Track List:
- KV 430
- Lewis Clark County
- Genetic Algorithm in economics
- Mingmonkul Sonakul
- Mysterious Sleeping Sickness! Defend Young Girls’ Hearts!
- Link Sleuth
Since I’m pretentious I’ll just have 6 10 minute tracks. Obviously, with a name like Anetumumab it’s IDM.

I don’t even know where to begin the review for this one. I enjoyed making my little indie album cover immensely. Thanks for the post
Michael and I did this until we got a good black metal album cover. It was hilarious. We used a little leeway for the cover art.
The most topical name we got was “Cross Sound Ferry”. We went with Kootu for the band name.
Here’s mine:
Band: Raymond High School
Album: The War Against Reality (I love it!!)

Yogie
La Vuache

I got a cool picture too. Not as cool as your album cover, though.
