CD Cover Meme

Sir! No Sir! - cd cover meme

I normally avoid memes like the plague (notice how every post about a meme starts this way?) but when Sara posted her entry for the CD cover meme, I had to participate. The rules are simple:

  1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
    The title of the article is the name of your band.
  2. http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
    The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.
  3. http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
    The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover. (make sure you choose a creative-commons one!)

My wikipedia article was Sir! No Sir!, my photo was a cat photo by Zenera, and my quote was by Martin Luther King Jr.: “Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.” (Yes, okay, technically I used five words from the quote, but I don’t think “and” should count, the quote is much better this way, and besides, what fun is a meme if you can’t bend the rules?

    it’s not creative commons, but this is the image i got.

    article (second try for something worth using) was noise (company) which i would modify to either noise/company or just noise company. album title (third try, first two were crap) ‘motivated by dynamic purposes’.

    I’m not of your generation, being fifty-five, but the “Ideas” section of yesterday’s Boston Globe showed some fake CD covers (or album covers, as we used called them) that mesmerized me. My favorite is the visage of an enraged dog, jaws unfolded. Apocryphal album title: “IX Corps: Their Time Shoveling Smoke.” What a great album cover! Much better than the cover of Pink Floyd’s “Atom Heart Mother,” which was an insipid cow standing in a field, which hung in my teenage bedroom till my mother sold the house. Clearly, there’s a grammatically indifferent admixture of pictures and words in the works, which is forming a progressively more distinct and powerful language. It also occurs to me how easy it now is to suggest that something is there, when it is not. It is that latter factor that I must warn you about.
