CD cover meme

I have a vague notion that I will put together a post to sum up my holiday weekend, but in the meantime, here's a fun little meme. Y'all should play, too, and tell me what you get on your blogs or in the comments!

(And if you think it's really too late to be recapping Thanksgiving, consider that I still haven't unpacked yet from that trip. Timely is not my middle name.)

Step 1, click here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The name of the article is the name of your band.

Mine: Okay High School

Step 2: http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four words of the last quote is the name of your album

Mine: Politics is applesauce. (My quote only had three words.)

Step 3: http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
The third image, from left to right, is your cover art.

I think it all works beautifully together, actually!! This must be how some bands actually name themselves. For would-be evidence, check out this article:

Reminds me of the fake band name that B and I came up with years ago - 24 Hour Emergency. Not bad, right? Right??

in which she leaves politics aside and resumes her inane perspicacious musings

Love is a Stranger - the best Eurythmics song in the history of Eurythmics? I think we all know the answer is yes, but if you have a cogent argument you may attempt to dissuade me. And the video, oh how it reminds me of the glorious days of early MTV. I have no idea if MTV even plays videos anymore, but if they do, I bet there are few as good as the masters of the 80s. Duran Duran's repertoire alone is proof!

But back to Eurythmics. This video is classic - cool, sleek, dark, and a bit dangerous, and Annie Lennox is completely fabulous. Unfortunately youtube is not allowing the video to be embedded, which pisses me off, but what can you do? I'll tell you what you can do - go to this link and reminisce about a bygone era, and a band and network whose better days are behind them.

Love is a Stranger

Do it! I'll know if you don't do it! And then I will also know that you suck!

PS - I will be doing these types of posts regularly.

PPS - Maybe.
