wow well i was thrilled to win the latest round of the album cover challenge, and i commend my fellow finalists in what was clearly an extremely close-run race. also many thanks to ann @olivetreeann for hosting and all who took part and voted
without further ado, i'm announcing the 101st edition of this entertaining challenge. for those new to 365 who may not know how it works, here are the details:
1) Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/main_Page and clink on the link for "Random Article" on the top left side of the page. The first random article you get is the name of your musician(s) or band.
2) Next go to the http://www.quotationspage.com and click on "Random Quotes" from the left menu. Go down to the bottom of the page. The last 4 to 6 words of the very last quote is the title of your album.
Please remember that you should use at least the last 4 words of the quote.
3) Then find, or take, a photo that fits your artist and album title. You are allowed to edit to your heart's content on this challenge so go for it! You can use any photo processing program of your choice, 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 and CDs are square, so use a square crop!
** BONUS – Some folks like to have a little fun and add a short description of what style/genre of music their band or artist would play in their commentary under the picture. So if you’ve ever dreamed of being a graphic artist or a promotional agent- give it a “virtural” try!
4) You can post more than one entry with the same quote/band, or call up a different one and post that too.
6) Please post your album cover(s) in this discussion thread. This helps keep the discussion visible. To do so, click on the bent arrow in a square on the bottom right of your post and then copy and paste the embed code on to the comment box below. Your picture will appear in the discussion once you click on "post comment".
7) The challenge starts 6 February, and runs until midnight GMT 20 February. I will select the finalists and post them for voting shortly thereafter. The winner will have the distinct honor of hosting the next album cover challenge.

Title: Impression on our minds
The secret of a good memory is attention, and attention to a subject depends upon our interest in it. We rarely forget that which has made a deep impression on our minds.- Tryon Edwards (1809 - 1894)
I'm going to have a go but you will all believe I made up my album title rather than randomly getting it in one click - it's just way too uncannily 'koala gardens' for words.
@arnica17 great! i'll be posting the winner in 24 hours or so, and that person will set up the next challenge ... look out for the title in 'latest discussions'

No problem is too small or too trivial if we can really do something about it.
