I had 12 of you wanting a mix tape as per the Shiny LeSombre Meme, and so I took out my trusty D12 and randomly selected Becky! But you can’t have a CD without a CD cover, right?
Here’s how it goes. You are about to have your own band’s CD cover. Follow these directions to the letter. It’s fun and requires no thought at all. Go to……
1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first article title on the page is the name of your band. I got “Mosaic Authorship“.
2. http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album. I got “Become who you are.” from the quote “Trade your secrets and become who you are.” from Frank Warren, Post Secret, 09-06-08.
3. http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover. I got this:
4. Use your graphics program of choice to throw them together, and post the result in your own journal because it’s more amusing that way.
So Becky here it is, your Mix-Tape / CD cover.

Actual Mix Tape/CD to follow shorlty…








Now that’s a good mixtape. A few I’ve heard and many I haven’t. That’s what it should be about, IMHO… introducing people to some new stuff that you think they’ll like based on what you know about them. I may have to check a few of those out.

Yay Becky – lucky girl, it looks like a great mixed tape
I’m sad that I didn’t win though – it looks like a great mixed tape…
Also, very gald to see someone else loves “turn my head around”. Although “new messiah” is still my favourite. I miss the philosopher kings…
suze recently blogged say hello and wave goodbye…
So … did you just *give* the mix tape to Becky? Or was there some sort of skill test involved?
delmer recently blogged Skill Tests
@Kapgar: No problem. All good songs in my opinion, of course.
@Sybil Law: I believe it’s popcorn.
@Becky: I’ll get in touch with you concerning delivery options.
@SheilaCSR: Yay Becky!
@Janelle: Yay Becky!
@Suze: I feel you want to ask me something…
@Delmer: She had to juggle knives, of course.
Tears For Fears *and* The Cure on the same mixtape? Nice work. Well done that man.
