unleash the artist within!

I admit that I might be more obsessed with the randomness of life than most people (to the point that I have been writing a failed film-script about this idea since 2004) but I dare anyone to refute the premise that a major part of our lives lies beyond our control and is in fact a construct of a series of random events!

I confess I haven't grasped the full thesis of Chaos Theory, and that most of my understanding comes from recent films including Magnolia, The Butterfly Effect and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind but I firmly believe that despite being run by random events, by taking part in the everyday game of life we positively contribute towards this randomness.

Maybe this is why I immediately fell in love with this game (?) or maybe I still don't feel like studying and would rather do anything than turn a single page ...

At some point in our lives, we all had the fantasy of creating a band and the lucky few amongst us are living that dream ... but no matter which of those groups we have the privilege of joining, the challenge of coming up with a cool band name is always a daunting task ... so why think about it when you can let be decided on your behalf like many other things in your life ... randomly!

3 small steps ...


Step #1
The 1st title on the page is the name of your band.

Step #2
The last 4 words of the very last quote is the title of your album.

Step #3
The 3rd picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

Again, I would like to claim credit for myself, but I have too much integrity to do it ... damn!

Source eludes me, because I stumbled upon it during a typical late-night drunken surfing of the world wide web ...

With no further ado, here is the first album cover for my band DURANUS ... I love the picture, and just for spite I am seriously thinking about creating a band and calling it DURANUS ... but it might be a variation, like D-UR-ANUS ... a very cool name for a gay disco band!




If there is anyone out there who tried this before, I would love to see the results ...
