Make An Album Cover Out Of Sheer Internet Randomness

I was tagged in a note on Facebook to make a random album cover.

This is what came out of it…

To Do This

1 – Go to Wikipedia. Paste in your browser: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2 – Go to Quotations Page. Paste in your browser: http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3 The last four or five words of the very last quote on the page is the title of your first album.

3 – Go to Flickr. Paste in your browser: 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 your Wall with this text in the “caption” or “comment” and TAG the friends you want to join in.

Mary also did one…

My Dark Matter Noise & Noh-Suspend Videos Are Screening At The Long Night Of Music Festival In Germany This Weekend

Hey Guys!! If you happen to be in Germany this weekend you can check out a few of my videos showing in the cinema room at the Gasteig Cultural Center in Munich. They’ll be screened Saturday May 23rd as part of the “Lange Nacht der Musik” Festival 2009. The Festival features over 400 concerts and events taking place at various venues in Munich and the Gasteig plays an important role as Sponsor and venue for the festival. I’m honored to be a part of it. If you remember, the Gasteig had some of my other stop motion videos on display earlier this year. If like me you aren’t in Germany for the weekend, you can still check out the movies below.

Dark Matter Noise I originally made for my friend Allen Tompkins. It features music from one of his latest music projects Dark Matter Noise. It’s made entirely of still images taken with the Canon 5D Mark1. I used over 2,000 photographs for this one!

Really, where do I begin with these guys… Noh-Suspend is one of the noisiest, loudest, happiest trio’s I know… and they always make me smile. They visit Seattle as often as they can because, as they say, “We love… Rock & Roll City! Seattle!” This video was shot in 2007 at The Funhouse on my friend Rick Troy’s old 1990’s Sony Handicam. This is one of three videos I’ve made for Noh-Suspend on their visits from Japan. Noh-Suspend is Saida (on bass), Yudka (vox & guitar), & Keiko (on drums).

This one was shot that same visit, also on the Handicam & another camera that Saida (Noh-Suspend’s bassist savant) brought over from Japan. Mike Henderson operated Saida’s camera, and I took the helm of the Handicam. The interview at  the head of the video was actually shot outside The Lobo Saloon in 2005, and the concert footage was shot 2007 at the Seattle U-District’s Monkey Pub.

This one I shot in 2005 at the Lobo Saloon here in Seattle. I met Saida, Yudka, and Keiko that night when the band I was in at the time called Mustard opened for them.

Have a Happy Memorial Day Weekend everyone!!
