CPF Deep from the Vault Album Covers

Edgy reminded me of this fun little bit in the Hairston thread. Make your own would-be Indie band album cover. So basically, you put together a randomly generated album via the following formula: Band = Title of a random Wikipedia article. Title = Last four words from the last quote on this page. Album image = The third image on this page. Easiest way to get the image is to use the "Print Scrn" button, paste your desktop into Paint, then use the 'cut' feature and grab just the image and paste that into a new window of Paint. Then use the 'text box' feature to add your band/album names. Slap it together in MS Paint or Photoshop or what have you and upload it here.

I hear Vidradnyi's huge in Williamsburg.

Quote is by Joss Whedon. I expanded the pic a bit too much, but I actually like the way the background is so sketchy looking.

Big hit with the goth kids in Wales, I understand.

Coffeehouse faves Mohawk Oil put out their most accessible album in many years.

seawolf17 Jan 09 2013 11:07 AM Re: CPF Deep from the Vault Album Covers

Yeah, but just because they had to. Their record company was like "ENOUGH WITH THE FUCKING DEATH METAL, FELLAS."

Have you heard the newest Merja album? It's terrific.

I think Jewell Junction may be a side project for Norman Reedus.

John Leaonard Thorne was frontman for the Winchesters --- a decade removed from their last airplay but long the darlings of the folk rock scene. Nobody was ready for it when he plugged his old teenage Epiphone back in and went for some punk rock cred. Doubly challenging was the inclusion on the album of indecipherable and distorted versions of some his most beloved acoustic ballads. Cozily nested suburbanites would hear this in the music aisles of Target, dismiss it with an eyeroll, and then realize... "Wait a minute... this is our wedding song." Neil Young, on the other hand, thought it was awesome.

Royal Applause, the satirical, avant-guarde giants of the Toronto anti-folk scene are back with their tenth album of agitprop broadsides, better than tedious disease.

Can't believe they're up to 10. It Came in Gusts seems like it came out yesterday.

Family friendly Macedonian conglomerate Aramengo put out their best work since the early 'aughts, a wistful homage to those younger days. The mellotron solos are particularly jovial on the first side of the album.

Swan Swan H Jan 10 2013 08:09 PM Re: CPF Deep from the Vault Album Covers

Damn straight. Aramengo has always belonged to the energetic.

Slovenian "saloon" punk band Zablujena Generacija (no, seriously they are) return to the studio after a twelve-year absence with an album that will also be their American debut: Heard By Him Alone.

Waitaminute... you asked for a random article to lend it's name to a fake band and you got... a real band?!

I am loving this thread. The layouts, the font choices, the preposterous backstories.... very nice.

Norwegian fusion jazz quintet Parfleche snuck this number onto the iTunes album chart at #87, after a snippet from the title track was used in a Starbucks commercial featuring Yoko Ono's hairdresser that went viral. I felt this release was a bit heavy with the bongo solos and percussive interludes, but still, not quite as indulgent as their last two albums, Those That Get Lost and Sinister To The Rest.

The George Herbert Jones Laboratory was hoping to be the next Alan Parsons Project, but got caught up in band feuds and record label disputes. War Or To Marry was their last gasp before their ugly breakup (that would only have been uglier if anyone outside the industry had even noticed that it happened).

Fman99 Jan 11 2013 08:36 PM Re: CPF Deep from the Vault Album Covers

George Herbert Jones was better as a solo artist anyway.

Shoegaze pioneers Local Education Agency exploded out of South Yorkshire with their influential masterpiece Nuclear War Is Unsettling in 1989. LEA devotees are convinced that this album single-handedly brought down the Thatcher ministry.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jan 12 2013 11:39 PM Re: CPF Deep from the Vault Album Covers

Longtime favorites of mine. Nuclear War is unsettling Like a bicycle you just keep pedaling Up the Alps in the tour de France Nuclear War sucks my schwatnz Yeah, it's unsettling And we're meddling with the metal thing UUUUHNsettling...

Winter seems so far Buried in the past Drop me a line Maybe by Itar-Tass Dream of future tenses It's not too late To let down our missile defenses And proliferate [Fuzzed solo]

Northern California natives, and professed cannabis farmers/advocates Ravendale (named after their hometown), debut their amalgam of trippy neo-Phish jams with "Is the Same Half." Best appreciated under the influence of hallucinogens and using noise cancelling headphones.

The dark ambient/post-rock collaborative N.A.A.Q.S. (named for the US Environmental Protection Agency's National Ambient Air Quality Standards) answer criticisms that their music is "too cerebral" with their latest collection Deliberate and Instinctive Thinking. Highlights of the album include "Thought 1" a single drone in b flat played continuously for 37 minutes, 5 seconds and "Thought 3.0" which enthusiastic fans and critics alike say "sounds like a rusty nail being dragged back and forth across a vinyl recording of Disney's Fantasia."

Nouveau riche art house fuckface Francesc de Tamarit releases his fifth straight pretentious ode to himself, the Viche lifestyle and the inferiority of the Portugese race in "the image of God." Spare me your warbling and your self aggrandizement, please, I beg of you. (Though, in all fairness, his cover of "Boogers" by N.A.A.Q.S. really does bring it home.)
