Today Plain Jane Mom linked to the Rockstar meme on another blog which I totally couldn’t resist. Because I am a meme-whore. This is how it works:

1. Click this link. The first title on this page is the name of your band.

2. Now click this link. The last four words of the very last quote is the name of your album. If it doesn’t work at all, click the “New Random Quotations” button for more.

3. And finally, click this link. The third picture on this page will be your album cover. Add your band name and album title, and you’re done! (Please remember to give credit for the original picture.) *I totally cheated because I wasn’t sure if it was the third image going horizontally or vertically and if I change the size of my browser it is different and then I just picked one and then I didn’t save the link to the person who put that picture up and then I was trying to search for it and then I decided to try opening it up again and just picking a new “third” picture. But that was of something that looked very much like a wedding bouquet and I felt that it wasn’t nearly angst-y enough for my band. So then I just randomly searched through pictures on that page and found one I kind of liked and felt wildly inferior to everyone on Flickr because damn! There are a lot of cool pictures out there and I guarantee that none of them are my daughter in drag dressup clothes.

And behold! My very first rock album. The band is Scarborough Beach Road and our first album is Too Dark to Read because our album cover is, you know, too dark to read. Or designed by someone who is too impatient to spend a whole hour evening week designing an imaginary album. Because that’s how long it would take me to make it pretty. In fact, I’m pretty sure it would still look crappy at the end of a week. I’d need to hire someone. But first I’d have to start making some rockstar money. And I’m pretty sure that’s not happening any time soon. I think SBR is going to be a one hit wonder. Thanks for all the love, folks!
