Now all I need to do is learn to play the guitar.

Because it was actually interesting, I snagged a meme from Rachel at That Night.

CD art, yes? Sort of? Close enough?

The idea is as follows: making your band name the title of this random wiki article and the title of your album the last four words of the last random quote on this page, use the third photo here to make your cover art.

I wound up with Tan Son (a district in Vietnam) and a quotation from Jay Leno, of all people:

I think high self-esteem is overrated. A little low self-esteem is actually quite good…Maybe you’re not the best, so you should work a little harder.

The picture is of the Canabrava Resort, which is… okay, I have no idea where it is, but it’s not covered in snow, so I want to go there.

Yours is beautiful!

I’m amazed at how genuine-looking some of these are turning out.

No kidding — every one I’ve seen looks like the real thing.

I wonder how much real CD art designers make. And if there’s any way to undercut them.

Hello, I was looking through the comments on Rachel’s page and found your entry. What a fabulous CD you’ve made:)

Thanks! I think it’s just about as swell as a CD can get without, you know, music. But that’s probably because I’m being unduly influenced by the palm trees.

Nifty. Stealing with good judgment — is that like making sure you only plagiarize the high quality stuff?
