Default Wikipedia Band Game

Classic time-wasting stuff. Not quite music discussion so I'll put it here.

Here's the deal:

Main Page - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Go on to Wikipedia and press random article. This is your band name.
Press random article again. This is your band's album name.
Press random article another 10-15 times. These are your album track titles.



Name: Warning
Album: Tarazona

1. Balintang Channel
2. John Plamenatz
3. Thena
4. Bill Brand
5. PYP
6. Camp Whelen
7. New International Economic Order
8. Londonderry Township
9. Balarampur, Budgebudge
10. Bob Herbert
11. hit40uk
12. Verbatim theatre
13. The upheavals of Twelve warlords

Somehow don't think that's Top of the Pops material....
