Shon the Piper's new album...

Here's one of those random Facebook things -- a random album cover. I've got to say, my random album is pretty awesome.

Here's how it works if you wanna play at home...

1 - Go to "wikipedia." Hit "random... Read More... Read More"
or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.
(alternatively, if the first article you hit is short, hit Random Article two more times.)

2 - Go to "Random quotations"
or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.

3 - Go to flickr and click on "explore the last seven days"
or click http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4 - Use photoshop or similar to put it all together.

Here's what I came up with...




My band name, Shon the Piper, is actually pretty fantastic. It's the name of a now lost 1913 film about, evidently (because it's lost and so I'm clearly just taking Wikipedia and IMDb's word on it), a wealthy Scotsman who disguises himself as a piper to win the hand of a peasant girl. This sounds like something that needs a remake because this story would totally fly today. People love Pipers.
