Fun fact about the Internet. Every now and again, you’ll be minding your business when suddenly, someone will spring a 50-question survey or chain e-mail to forward to 25 of your closest friends or some other quirky activity for you to participate in if you wish to not have some sort of horrible fate befall you. Today, that onus falls upon me. I have an activity that you will need to participate in or, say, your second cousin will fall into a cravice. A really deep one. And it’s filled with lava.

Here’s how the game’s played.

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

Step 2: Now go to http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3. Scroll down the page to the last quote listed. The last four words of the last quote are the name of your new band’s first album.

Step 3: Finally, go to http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/. The third picture is the artwork for your new band’s first album.

Okay, you’re done. What’d you end up with? Wait, don’t answer that question. I can’t possibly hear you answer it, and people will think you’ve lost your mind talking out loud to your computer. So here’s what I got.

Yeah, that’s right. My random band name is Hägen. Hagen with an umlaut. I kid you not. The Internet gods are clearly screwing with me.

So get to work, and while you’re doing that, I’ll be writing tracks for my debut album. I’m thinking of kind of a power-pop sound with a little bit of synth that’s danceable but still totally heavy metal hard rock. Kind of like Tool meets Ace of Base, with just a hint of Meat Loaf. Get your pre-orders in now, before you completely forget about it later.
