From **Fallen Footwear** ’s discography, we have three albums that all managed to line up pretty well between title and picture:  
[Would Have Confused Einstein](http://www.flickr.com/photos/perspectivephotography/2537775824/), the depressingly titled [Over All Too Soon](http://www.flickr.com/photos/cityhunter12/2547865993/) and [You’re Still A Rat](http://www.flickr.com/photos/sengster/2544286827/)

Here’s a [related thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=448407&page=1&pp=50&highlight=album+Croatia) from around Christmas last year. In that game, we determined the names of the tracks on our albums.

Mudanya

“Nor Do They Last Long” (Used last 5 words, since just the 4 words would have sucked.)

I’m thinking we’re Ambient or Industrial, electronica in any case.

Oh, and because you are dying to know, our follow up will be called “Some More than Others”, and this will be the cover: [Reflections in the catwalk | Barcelona Bridal Week | Flickr](http://www.flickr.com/photos/45street/2545045400/).

We decided to go in a different direction.

It’s amazing how well it works. A lot of these, if you’d told me they were actual band and album names I would have believed you. Somebody really ought to start a band called “Network of Eternal Democracy”.

Anyway, mine:

Street of Shame  
_Peace is the Measure_

Kind of Pink Floydian cover art, there.

I give it exactly one week before a Toronto indie band snags all of the above. 🙂

(in my head, they sound like Most Serene Republic, but more radio-friendly)

Album Title: Possibility of a Miracle

Album Cover: [A cidade luz | Paris - Maio de 2008 | Tiago Chediak | Flickr](http://www.flickr.com/photos/tiagochediak/2537401812/)

Sounds like a neo-classical orchestra group to me. Mabye Mr. Cantero is the composer?

And after reading that one, I just had to post my track titles.

So…here’s the tracks on Ever Cantero’s debut album…  
_Possibility of a Miracle!_

```
 Disk A

```

1. Mick McGowan [5:08]

2. Some Men [15:44]

3. Ruby Windsor [7:32]

4. Cape Eagle-Owl [18:53]

5. Foras na Gaeilge [6:28]

6. m1dy [4:40]

7. Maylandia elegans [2:13]

8. Huntress [5:27]

9. Saint-Laurent-de-Levezou [7:15]

10. IUB [1:52]

11. Maharashtrian [3:22]

12. Karl Goddard [8:12]

13. Kleinrinderfeld [8:49]

14. Frank L. Bowman [4:11]

15. Bruce McCandless II [2:38]

Huh?! It looks like it started off as a classical opera, Mick McGowan being the introduction of the characters and the next four the first act soundtrack, perhaps a love story between McGowan and Ruby Windsor. Then, with m1dy (what the heck?) it dives into a modern _rock_ opera, the second act tracking the characters as they travaled around the world and through time.

Man, Ever Cantero’s one _crazy_ composer, huh?

That picture looks like it is attacking, Don’t think the album name matches the picture at all.

I found this at Cracked([here](http://www.cracked.com/david-wong/2008/06/02/the-new-jewish-and-american-architects-album/)), so I have a couple made up. I love the Cienfuegos one except I’m regretting not putting the album title a little more to the lower right.  
Band: Defaux Automobile  
Album: The Course to Victory  
[http://img399.imageshack.us/img399/3728/myalbumar0.png](http://img399.imageshack.us/img399/3728/myalbumar0.png)

Album: Left on this Earth  
[http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/9382/cienfuegosalbumhs3.png](http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/9382/cienfuegosalbumhs3.png)

Edit: Anyone know how to save the photos on Flickr that have those mouseover boxes? I always end up saving a blank .gif instead of the picture I see.
