Saw this over at Electric Cerebrectomy. The idea is to click "random article" over at Wikipedia to create a fictional band, album, and that album's tracks. Here goes:
Merve Boluğur's "Painting the Century: 101 Portrait Masterpieces 1900-2000"
- Oil price increase of 1990
- Lawrence Palk, 1st Baron Haldon
- John W. Maher
- Gliosis
- Jadwiga Falkowska
- Salmon Hater
- Beetlejuice
- Eddy Baggio
- Open House with Gloria Hunniford
- The Calling
What's weird is that The Calling is actually a band, and weirder still, Salmon Hater is actually a real fake band!
Salmon Hater is a fictional heavy metal band, manufactured by Adam Spencer and Wil Anderson of Triple J breakfast radio in Australia.
The name came about on air after the station had played a promo for Triple J's metal show, Full Metal Racket. The pair had an impromptu conversation, making reference to the names of many metal bands. Anderson asked Spencer what his favourite metal band was, and Spencer, put on the spot, gave the fake name "Salmon Hater".
Other details made up about the band were that they hailed from the hills of Glenelg (in Adelaide, South Australia; ironically although Adelaide is very hilly, Glenelg is actually quite a flat suburb - when informed of this, Spencer stated that they were "underground hills") where they were part of the local "Fish Metal" scene (along with other non-existent bands such as "Trout Destroyer" and "Red Goering") and that their latest single was "6.66 - One Hundredth of the Number of the Beast". The title originated from the stereotypical "satanic" metal theme (e.g Iron Maiden's The Number of the Beast, etc), and Spencer's love for mathematics.
