Thanks to everyone who participated and voted on album cover challenge 73... it's now time to start the 74th challenge...
Here's how it works:
To get a title for your album you can choose one of two ways.
1) Go to http://quotationspage.com or wikkiquotes or any other quotation website for a "quote of the day", or "random quotes" (go to the last one on the page). Your album title is the last 3 to 6 words of that quote.
OR
2) Choose any 3 to 6 consecutive words from the quote below to make up your album title. The quote is by Shakespeare from the play Macbeth...
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury
Signifying nothing.
3) Next, choose your artist by going to Wikipedia and choosing the link for "Random Quote" on the top left side of the page. The first article that you get is the name of your musician or band.
http:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/main_Page
4) Now find or take a photo that fits your artist and title. You are allowed to edit to your hearts content on this challenge so go for it! You can use any photo processing program you choose, but the photo(s) must be yours. It does not have to be taken during the time frame of the challenge. This gives you a chance to look through your archives for a suitable shot.
Remember, albums are square, so crop your picture accordingly.
5) You can enter multiple entries on this challenge. Same quote, different quote - all is game.
6) Tag your album cover albumcoverchallenge74
7) You can also post your album cover in this discussion thread if you'd like. Click on the three dots under your picture and then copy and paste the embed code in the comment box below. Your picture will appear in the discussion once you click on "post comment".
8) Album Cover Challenge 74 begins today, January 6 and runs through Monday, January 16, 2017 (12 midnight, EST). I will select the finalists and post them for voting shortly thereafter. The winner will have the honor of hosting the next album cover challenge.
I don't mean to be pedantic, but I've noticed this challenge has changed a little. Originally, I think, we got the title by going to Wikapedia and choosing a random ARTICLE (the first one at the top of the list), then for the artist we used the random quote thingy. This way we are using quotes twice?
@yorkshirekiwi you can still do it that way Carole, the album name is an either /or choice of the way to pick it, this was introduced by one of the regular players who wanted to mix it up a bit, I enjoy the original way so use the wikipedia article to find the artist name, and random quotes to find the band name .
Not done this challenge before. Have I got it right so far?

My quote, from Joseph Conrad: "I take it that what all men are really after is some form or perhaps only some formula of peace." My artist is the rather boringly named Mark Singel.
