Make your own album (cover)

Shamelessly stolen from Something Awful:
The rules are simple:

1. Go here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random The title of the article is your band name.

2. Go here https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Special:Random pick a quote, the last 3-5 words of it is your album name.

3 Go here https://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/ the 5th picture is your Album art

4. Mash all 3 together in your image editor of choice.
Here is my mediocre submission:

It's more amusing if you have graphic design ability!

Of course, within reason. it's more about results than sticking strictly to the formula

An attempt at a similar style to my previous one, but significantly more convincing. IMO.

Yeah, it really is! I was wondering if some of y'all would like to list your favourites so far, to encourage the good work people have done.

Mine is dr_vblschrf, with Wolfolotl as a close second.

My favourite is Lampre by Mikkofier. For some reason I can't explain, it is freaking hilarious to me.

I like Mikkofier's and Pikabread's, but Elga's is my favorite.

Is there an alternative to flickr? I haven't been able to connect all day and I'm currently getting either timeouts or "connection refused" errors.
