Random and fun is a good combination.
« on: January 24, 2008, 07:44:00 PM »

Hehe.. I found this somewhere, I forgot where, but the results you can get are pretty funny.  Alright.

Go to Wikipedia's home page. You know where it is. 1. Click Random article. That is your band's name. 2. Click Random article again; that is your album name. 3. Click Random article 15 more times; those are the tracks on your album. If it's something not allowed here you can obviously just find a different one.

Band: Aubrey de Sélincourt
Album: Lee Botts

1. Malgrange–Ehrenpreis theorem
2. The Thorn
3. NWA Tennessee Tag Team Championship
4. USS Chandeleur (AV-10)
5. Alexander Zuyev
6. Carolyn Dawn Johnson
7. Cranmore Castle
8. Daz Dillinger

Band: Terry Robinson (Neighbours)

Maybe that's like "Terry Robinson and the Neighbors"?

Album:Raj Rajeshwar Saramad-i-Rajha-i-Hindustan Maharajadhiraja Maharaja Shri Takht Singhji Sahib Bahadur

He was the last Maharaja of Amednegar, before the state was absorbed by Idar. "The Last King of Amednegar" would probably have been a better title, but that's the music industry.

Trax:
1. New Brunswick School District 10
2. Q-Con
3. The Outing
4. Title (animal)
5. Bali dance

Thus far the makes sense, almost. This is a politically minded, Hindu rock band, with a penchant for verbose names. They also have an opinion about Irish gaming conventions, or something.  Let's see if this continues.

6. Orders, decorations, and medals of Belarus
7. Children's Healthcare of Atlanta
8. Black Hawk College
9. Vojtěchov (Chrudim District)
10. International law firm networks and associations

The theme continues to be politics, particularly those of eastern Europe and the United States. Curious....

11. Constant Maturity Credit Default Swap
12. Fuente de Oro
13. NRX-010 Gable
14. David Muench
15. AFA (automobile)

The last three tracks are a bit different from the rest of the album. While many fans would likely defend the songs about a rejected Gundam prototype and a discontinued German car, as potent symbols of the state of western civilization and indeed the governments of the developed world, no one has yet figured out what the song about the landscape painter has to do with their usual political message.

It appears to me you didn't do it right.  Where, exactly, did you get those names/articles, 'cuz most of those don't look like they came from Wikipedia...though they may have come from a spam filter.

In fact, if you run any of those through Wikipedia, it says there's no such page, so...

Try again, perhaps?  Follow instructions, this time?

3. Saint Patroclus

4. Romantic Princess

5. 2006 Chick-fil-A Bowl

*Laugh!!!*   :D

Um... hehehe...
Romantic... Princess... XD
*Uncontrollable Laughter*

Attila That Hun surprised me, though.   ;D

Hm... I might try it again...


Album: Naked put
---
It's really not as bad as it sounds... but there must be something messed up with this band of mine, all ready...

1. Mubarak Ata Mubarak
---
I see a future Dubi Dum...

2. Darker
---
Hey, that sounds pretty good... like a real band-thing...
Oh wait... that's because it is one...
Um... what? Oh no, no plagarism, here... ... ... *whistles casually...*

3. Poczekajka, Gmina Ruda-Huta
---
I'd love to hear that... partially because I have no idea as to how to pronounce it...

4. Biomorphic robotics
---
Well, while it doesn't top Dragyn's Romantic Princess... but I still think it's "special." ^_^

5. Zuniga's Dark Rice Rat
---
...
Wrote it myself.
Whatever it is...

6. Frank Paschek
---
...
Um...
There's really nothing to sing about a retired, German long jumper... ... ... >.<

7. Armed and Hammered
---
That... sounds bad...
It wasn't me, honest!

8. Almirante Oquendo
---
Hm... well... there's gotta' be something to say about a Spanish Admiral... maybe some heart-jerking story to compare to modern day.   :P  

9. Twait shad
---
...
Fish!
Er... fish?...
I think I need to work on finding inspiration. Or maybe there's too much of it...

10. Spring Garden District, Pennsylvania

...
Better. I think.

11. V Corps (North Korea)
---
A fan of war, we are, I see...

12. Winged Warlords

13. Order of the Red Banner of Labour

Um... that sounds... either way too strange in a political way, or like a revolt song, for anarchy...   :P

14. Terrella
---
Hey... that sounds kinda cool...
It's the name for a little model of Earth. Means "little earth." Could have an interesting one of those "Of Mice and Men" views, even. Only the little guy won't shoot the big dumb one.
That was such as strange book... ... ...

15. Monoblastozoa
---
That... sounds like another gibberish song, which could be a lot of fun...   ;D

However, all in all... I think I'd best keep my day job... >.<

We can do this more than once? You might have opened a can of worms with this one.

I'm bringing my old guys back. Somebody was dumb enough to give them another contract.

Here goes another Album for "Terry Robinson and The Neighbors":

Album: Estadio Pocitos (These guys are still South American)

Tracks:

1: Typhoon Abe

2: Bone Exercise Monitor

3: Mount Harvard

4: NOiSE (This spelling is already TM Tsutomu Nihei. Our Hindu friends are in for a lawsuit.)

5: Security Control of Air Traffic and Air Navigation Aids

6: Peter Wong (Canadian politician)

First non-white mayor in Canada. Chinese descended.

7: Deauville-La Touques Racecourse

8: Colours (MLTR album)

Looks like I get a redo for this one.

8b: Hrašné

A small political, geographical area in Germany.

Hrašné is a village and municipality in Myjava District in the Trenčín Region of north-western Slovakia.

9: You Won't Believe Your Ears (The Wes Harrison Album article. I'll leave this one in, but I'll still add another track, because this is just so much fun. I don't know why...)

10: Breakheart Pass (1975 film)

11: Target for Tonight

I bet this song is way different from the 1941 propaganda documentary.

12: Hamiville

13:Secure Stations Scheme

13: University of Arkansas System

How much do you figure this song isn't really about the five schools that make up the UAS?

14: Yuri Amano

15: Génissieux

A political, geographical area in France.

16 (bonus): John E. Herlitz

He designed car exteriors for Plymouth. The '70 Barracuda SX was his work.


It's a lot more fun when you don't re-use and established group. I didn't have any awkward, Why would they sing about that? moments, because we already know these guys are some kind of whiny, awareness raiser, amateur, teenage politicians.

I was glad to see them branch out their interests into Anime'.  Their song about The Outing, apparently really was about the nerd convention, and the Gundam song was also a tip off that they were into Japanese television.

Perhaps, with time, they will come to see that you don't have to be angsty and political to be culturally relevant. You can sing about fun stuff, and it still counts as artistic.
