This is a fantastic game doing the rounds at the moment - open Wikipedia and click on 'Random article' twelve times. The first article is the artist name, the second the album title, the next ten the tracklisting. Essentially it all ends up like either Boards Of Canada or Guided By Voices, like this:

Kamenka, Vyborgsky District, Leningrad Oblast
Very positively progressive, the way you've strung three different styles of music (folk, indie, noise) into one sprawling album-closing masterpiece, it reminds me of the end of Daydream Nation.
really
I could have sworn it was an explosions in the sky track.
Nah you got that mixed with
'Pretentious Pseudo-Thought Provoking Song Title To Make Up For The Generic Boring Lengthy Song It Actually Is'

Normally I don't think much of actors trying their hand at music but this guy's covering a Coil album and including a song about the drummer from Bloc Party. Man I wish this was a real album.
I'd quite like to write an album this way

05. Principality of Khachen
06. Olympic medallists in art competitions
07. Laura, Saskatchewan
08. Autochase
09. Psychological Bulletin
10. Tirtha Ram Dangol
It's a Nepalese proto acid-dub classic in the making
Museum of the Great Patriotic War samples readings of Gogol and splices them perfectly over filthy 303 basslines and 808 beats.
Laura, Saskatchewan is the most gorgeous, if icy cool, love song you hear all year.
ok

definitely widdly jazzy indiepunk in a rat-a-tat, pit-er-pat, the planet the, early battles vein. and not just cos of the double t in the name. 3 songs about sportsmen? a cover of an 80's house track? this album is definitely no longer than 20 minutes long.
Malfador Machinations by Missionaries of the Sacred Heart

4. North Fork Mountain
5. Rave music
6. Bibron's Toadlet
7. Soft sculpture
8. The Boy Who Cried Fabulous
9. Bexley

Actually a pretty good haul. And 'The Boy Who Cried Fabulous' was described as a children's book that 'has a bit of subtext than can be interpreted as a gay allegory' with a 'story [that] ends with the lesson of accepting each others' unique gifts'
- that made my day.
I'm feeling that zeitgeist
with track five
Missionaries
Of The Sacred Heart is actually a fucking brilliant band name.
it really is, isn't it?

6. Parables of Jesus
7.Bowling Green Township, Marion County, Ohio
8. The Amateur Marriage
9. Frederick Suppe
10. Typhlogarra widdowsoni
This is fucking amazing! I think track nine would be the killer track, and the album would end stronger than it started, although the name probably suits an EP more. Track 10 would probably be instrumental.
All in all, not a bad sounding album
