I saw this idea over at the Sprawling Ramshackle Compound, who picked it up from I, Splotchy, who in turn got it from The Urban Recluse (who as far as I can tell created this):
First, the rules:
Let’s Make a Band:1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:RandomThe first article title on the page is the name of your band.

And now from a product to something that no one had any idea how to sell.
Tonight I’m going to see the Silver Apples in concert at the Empty Bottle. This has been a good year for seeing bands that I never should have had the opportunity to see. I’ve already written about Roky [...]
Perhaps I’m just an idealist.
There are many good and bad things about these systems of tubes we call the internets. The list of bad things goes on and on (Ron Paul, kiddie porn, the fact that companies make you visit their websites to report problems rather than let you talk to someone), but he [...]

Since I was here, writing about how I was [...]
It’s time for y’all to bust out your tight jeans and ironic t-shirts, because the Pitchfork Music Festival is in town. It lasts from yesterday (Friday) to Sunday, and features a lot of bands that none of us have heard of, and a few we have. Last night the festival was opened by [...]
I’m back. I survived the Great Bonnaroo of ‘07. I’ve survived the heat, the dust, the hippies, the Police. I’ve got a cold now, but what do you expect when you spend four or five days with virtually no sleep, blazing sun with no shade, and an excess of partying?

This seems wrong. I should be out in the sun, drinking a cold beer and watching Charlie Louvin, and I’m here BLOGGING? At least I have an excuse: I’m waiting for my cell phone to charge. Microsoft will charge your phone for free here, trying to show the hippies that they’re not [...]
