I saw this idea over at the Sprawling Ramshackle Compound, who picked it up from I, Splotchy, who in turn got it from The Urban Recluse (who as far as I can tell created this):
First, the rules:
Let's Make a Band:
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, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
You then take the pic and add your band name and the album title to it, then post your pic.
Here are my results:
1. Tilda's Yellow Shoulder, apparently some kind of bat.
2. "fact, they do so" ("Many people would sooner die than think; in fact, they do so." -- Bertrand Russell)
3. The photo
I think that this band is a 70's soft rock revival band, a la Midlake or the Bees. That's my best guess.
I spent way too much time doing this.

koko would be proud of yours....quite
Very pretty. I really like the white font of the artist name over the picture. It was worth the time and effort!
Can I play in your band? I've excelled at the "Easy" guitar from Rock Band? Please!
Your album looks very Brit Pop. Now, how does it sound?
That's pretty cool, Progress. Funny how this completely random exercise seems far better conceived than 80% of the CRAP that record companies are churning out. Well done...
I think I used to see their video on MTV's 120 Minutes all the time. Right after Bjork and before The Lemonheads.
That's very fun. I used to pick my band names from books on the shelf in the room we played in. My last band was either "The Middle-Class Gentlemen" or "Trees of North America."
Awesome idea. I think Tilda's Yellow Shoulder is more Decemberists or maybe Kings of Convenience though.
It's awesomeness speaks for itself. No time was wasted.
Nice look. Very soothing.
