    Next up, creating a band through Wikipedia<\/a>…<\/p>\n

    Rules:<\/p>\n

    1) Go to the Wikipedia home page and click random article. That is your band’s name.
    \n2) Click random article again; that is your album name.

    I’m adding two rules:<\/p>\n

    4) Anything in parentheses may be dropped, at the user’s discretion.
    \n5) Drop “List of…” if it begins any name.<\/p>\n
