My team did a fun game of creating random album covers. You can try too.

Nichole Nye on our team sent out this e-mail to all Duartians today. They had a ton of fun. The results are pretty funny.

Hey guys,

  Those of you that were at Duarte Power Hour today will remember me talking about this, and I’m sure a bunch of you have most likely done this before, but a few of us thought it would be fun to send out here at Duarte! You follow the instructions below and make an album cover for yourself! It’s a cool little creative exercise a bunch of you might get a nice kick out of J
 
Cheers!

  HOW TO PLAY:

1 - Go to "wikipedia." Hit “random... Read More... Read More”
or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2 - Go to "Random quotations"
or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.

3 - Go to flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”
or click http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4 - Use Photoshop or similar to put it all together. (you can use PPT and export it as a JPG and that works too)

Like I said, you're unusually lucky with these. That said, I'd still probably buy this.
