Okay, this is ridiculous.  I've extracted fonts, installed fonts, copied fonts to various folders, restarted GIMP, reinstalled GIMP, installed a newer version of GIMP, watched videos on how to install fonts, read instructions on how to install fonts, listened to tantric prayers involved in the installing of fonts, everything.

And none of it works for me.  I'm still stuck with just the default fonts, plus Floydian.

I'll make a couple or more goes at this:

Mesh Tenney
One's work is terribly important

Plucky
Hard to sleep after

It wouldn't surprise me if "Plucky" was already a band name (definitely some cheerful indie sort, Miles Davis on the cover be dashed), and if "Mesh Tenney" isn't, well, it should be.

I'm talking about the bronze colossus. It's supposed to be made entirely of bronze.
But really he's just a softie inside. They all are really. When megabeasts come to your fort you never welcome them inside and give them a hug, do you. You heartless bastards...

Well, managed to find a slight workaround for the GIMP issue.  I just hope I don't have to do it for every time I want to install a new font...

Anyways, here's what I came up with using my new tools:

Amazing what a couple nice fonts can do for ya.  This was one of the easiest yet, didn't have to pretty it up at all.

EDIT:  'Nother one.  I had to think of something to fill up that huge empty space at the bottom.

Alright, I have no idea what kind of music these people would play.  Anyone care to guess?

EDIT:  Okay, just looked at it and apparently GIMP was hiding the top part of the image, so the text's a little bit off of optimal location.

With a name like Laguna Rodeo?  And an album called "Let's Start With Typewriters"?

Only funky thing is the picture...   But Laguna Beach is, after all, a beach.


EDIT:  Okay, made another one.  For those of you want something a little different, use the "random entry" thing on Wiktionary rather than the random quote page for your album titles.  You'll end up with some wacky stuff, like this:

Cool picture.  I imagine it's some dude named "Al".


EDIT2:  And another.

That stupid background took ages to do up.


EDIT3:  Still going...  I might have to find some other picture site though.  I seem to recall Flickr being a hell of a lot more awesome back when we had the original thread.

This one ended up kinda meh.

YES!  YES!  YES!  Most badass band name/album title EVER!  And the picture fits it beautifully.




And how would you like to live in a place called "Giggleswick"?  Man, they must have some of the most impressive mental health facilities on the planet...

I thought I'd try another since these things are so quick, and I got something that wasn't completely stupid this time...

Hey, yeah.  That is a nice combo.

And yes, that most certainly is an amazing photo.  I wonder where that's from...

I was gonna say, most of it is that artsy college student garbage, but I found one that's at least in the ballpark, and the rest of the stuff is pretty metal.


Oh jeez.  I knew the type was going to be uneven when I was drawing it, but good lord.  I can barely read this.  Whatever, most metal band covers have unreadable lettering.

The band is Talgarth, and the album is Moral Bankruptcy



I'd buy that album.

Okay, it's been confirmed.  If you don't want an "artistic" title for your album, user the random entry tool on Wikiquote (make sure to specify the language of your choice though, otherwise you'll be ending up with all sorts of weird stuff).  I did a single roll on both Wikiquote and Random Quotations, and if I'd picked the Quote result then this album would've been called "The Shame of Art" rather than "Flamebait".

Probably should've done the text in a different way...   It's currently a little difficult to determine what's the album title and what's the band name.

EDIT:  Epic.
