Just last week, I wrote about a fun Facebook meme that parlayed search results on Google into hilarity for all. Laughter was had, tears were shed, and much tagging ensued. A few more memes have come and gone since then, and while they’ve been amusing, they’ve failed to reach the highs of that original “Google Game.” Until today.
My friend Jash — who’s been getting mentioned quite a bit on this blog (get back in the game, IndianJones) — sent me a meme called “My Band Album.” It requires a bit of work on the user’s part (Photoshop or a graphics application is required), but the end result is fantastic. Basically, users must look up a random Wikipedia entry — this becomes your “band name.” Then they must look up a random quote, and this becomes the “album name.” Lastly, users then must find a random Flickr photo, which becomes the band’s artwork. Put it all together, and bam! You have instant fun. And yes, that’s my band at the top of this post.
For specific rules, follow the story after the jump. Make your own pic and enjoy. Feel free to send me your images, and I’ll post a retrospective next week.

My Band Album
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.
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.
5 – Post it to FB with this text in the “caption” and TAG the friends you want to join in.
