NME heart Romanian Architecture

So I was sifting through the loose bits of random junk I have floating around on my trusty eMac "Man Rabbit", when I stumbled upon this.


I don't how many of you did this, but a few months ago I noticed that a couple of my friends on facebook had changed their profile picture to something that resembled album covers that I had never seen, by bands that I had never heard of.

Now if there's one thing I hate more than my friends not liking the same bands as me, it's my friends knowing about bands I don't, and then posting their album cover art on their facebook page. The nerve of some people!

Thankfully, after a little further delving, I discovered that these sets of album artwork were nothing more than yet another example of facebook helping us all waste our time. Here's how it's done.

1 - Go to "wikipedia." Hit “random”
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.

Way to help me kill my precious time internet! You're procrastination powers know no limits.

So there you go, Romanian Architecture. The cover makes me think they'd be the type of post Morrisey, pre Interpol/Editors sad bastard band that NME would've loved, until they realised that every track on the album was a metaphor for how much the band fucking hated NME. But I guess we'll never know.

Hello there internets!

So here we go... Tom starts a blog.
This may easily turn out to be the most pointless blog in existence. What can a 25 year old guy, with no real interests or hobbies (and as of recently NO JOB!) possibly have to contribute to the world of blogging? The answer is "Probably about as much as every other boring unemployed loser who's already set up a blog!"
The other answer is "Who gives a crap?". This blog really isn't meant for anyone but myself to read.
Recently I've had a few of my friends (you know who you are, and you're not reading this anyway so it doesn't matter) tell me that I should be getting into writing. Apparently my rants and opinions, as uninformed and alcoholically motivated as they may be, can occasionally be entertaining, and it might be a good idea to start writing them down.
So this is what I'm doing.
Unless you're me, there's no reason for you to be reading this.
This blog is simply an outlet for me to (hopefully) enhance my writing skills, and allow me to get a bit of confidence in my ability as a person back.
But that's not to say I won't try and make it as entertaining as possible
...
Or I'll get bored after a few posts and ditch the whole thing
Let's find out!
