Via Waxy Links is a meme called Wikipedia Names Your Band. Here’s how you do it:
- Go to a random Wikipedia article – the name of the article becomes your band’s name.
- Go to Random Quotations – the last 4-5 words of the last quotation on the page are your the title of your first album.
- Go to Flickr’s “Explore the last 7 days” and choose the third picture – this will be your album cover.
Put them all together, and you get something like this:

The components for mine were:
- Artist: Vong Savang, who isn’t a woman but was actually a Crown Prince of Laos.
- Album title: “wanting what you’ve got” is the last 4 words of a quote from Sheryl Crow’s song ‘Soak Up The Sun‘. The full quote can be read here.
- Album cover: The picture I got was this one.
There are many other covers on the Buzzfeed page, some of which are very good.
