From the immortal Dr.Mel...

1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first article title on the page is the name of your band.
2. http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.
3. http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
The
third picture (direction not specified, so this could theoretically be
horizontally, vertically or diagonally), no matter what it is, will be
your album cover.
Caveat: You should be very careful with
this last one, as most people retain all or some rights for their
photos. I only used photos with Creative Commons requiring
attribution and permitting derivations of the original, which did
require reloading the page several times but keeps me safe from
lawsuits. (Clearly, Dr. Mel has more patience than I. After doing the random image thing for a loooong time and finding exactly one image with a Creative Commons license, I gave up on that method. I searched for "creative commons" in Flickr and chose from the images whose ordinal number, if I were to assign such numbers, would have been divisible by 3. Much faster.)
Use your graphics program of choice to throw them
together, and post the result in you blog because it’s more
amusing that way.
So. Ya wanna see what I came up with? I had to use Paint b/c I am using Smokey's laptop in bed; imagine these 1000% better if I were at my desk, using my Mac.

Dr. Mel is often in my thoughts these days. He drew my name in his raffle and has promised me something yummy from his stash. Although Lucy is hoping that "something yummy from the stash" implies four legs and fur, I am hoping for some yarn. We really, really do not need another dog.
