The Best Music Game Ever!

beharI get far too many emails. Most of them junk or stupid games. I love deleting them.

However this one came along today. I just couldn’t help myself.

1. Do the Random Wikipedia Search – The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.
2. Go to Random Quotations – The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.
3. Go to the Explore Last Seven Days on Flickr page – Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
4. Use Photoshop, Gimp, similar or online free image editing website to put it all together.

  • - My band is called Behar
  • - Album is called as we get out of it
  • - Picture was of New York
  • - Result is the featured image on post.

Here are some of my friends’ efforts:

There only one thing to do now. Post yours and share!

Worry About Song of the Year Already

Ok. Maybe premature. A month into 2009 and I might have already found my song of the year.

Peter Bjorn and John is made up of 3 Swedes called, Peter, Bjorn and er, John. I bought their previous album, Writer’s Block (iTunes) after stumbling on the track featured in this post. It’s a lot more lo-fi than their new work. I’m sure you’ve heard the excellent single Young Folks from the album.

Now they’ve got over writer’s block, I’m hoping their new album, Living Thing is going to be a musical War and Peace. There’s a tracklisting at Off the Radar. Now listen to the fat beat and super pop chorus constantly like I have and see why i’m excited:

Peter Bjorn and John – Nothing To Worry About (mp3)

Living Thing is released on 31 March and can be pre-ordered from Amazon.
