So you wanna be a rock star

Ok so I don't really have a lot of time, but I wanted to put this up since it is finally finished. In my last post I showed you my rocking new Band name, album title and artwork, generated by a fun little process outlined on a friend's blog. Well I thought other people would enjoy making their own album, but I know most people are too lazy to do it. So I compiled the whole process into an easy to use web app. So try it out have fun and let me know what you think.

I'm a rock star

Ok so I realize that it has been quite a while since my last post, and many of you might think that this is indicative of my intentions for this blog(not posting that is). But believe it or not I would actually like to develop this.
Well now that I'm writing I guess I should let you know why. Jess was reading blogs tonight and came across Peter's latest entry about a fun little way to randomly generate your own, imaginary band name, hit song title and album cover. Now I realize this is nothing more than a diversion, but since I'm such a stud at guitar hero I just had to do it myself. In case any of you wanted to do it yourself here is the link to Peter's post explaining the process.(Link)

Ok so I too admit to a little picking and choosing until I found something that sounded reasonably cool. Although my first band name was actually kinda cool (August 3rd) I tried a few more until I arrived at my decided band name. Oh and since I'm so keen on copyright protection I've linked to the original image, to give credit where credit due. I figure since I'm not trying to take credit, nor make any money off it, it should be covered by fair use. I'm probably wrong but this is what I'm telling myself to feel better.So without further delay, here it is my band name, album/single title, and cover.

Well I hope you guys enjoyed my second post, so go make your own album and enjoy.
