Make your own random CD cover

Wow, I love these fake CD/album covers by mikelietz on Flickr. He writes here:

To make your own random CD cover, follow these steps:

1. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random The first article title on the page is the name of the band.

2. www.quotationspage.com/random.php3 The last four words of the very last quote is the album title.

3. www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/ The third picture, license permitting, is the album cover. [To save time, get one from here.]

4. The finished product belongs in the  CD cover meme pool.

I was hoping there was a ready-made mashup tool that added album titles to a photo — and I’m sure there are some Web 2.0 sites out there that let you do this — but for the most part looks like you have to do the mashing up yourself.

Here’s the Flickr pool, with 790 photos. And here’s mine:
