Lessons from Indie Rap

Greetings loyal readers,

Today I bring something interesting from the music world. One of my favorite musicians, P.O.S. (which I'm told stands for "Plain Ole Stefon," despite the other more obvious acronym), released his new album a few months ago with a pretty cool promotion behind it.

With his new CD, P.O.S. packaged a customizable cover where the owner can create his or her own album art. You can see a short video of the cover here, but the basic premise is the CD comes with about 16 squares and transparencies, all with different artwork on them, that can be mixed and matched to make whatever designs the user prefers.
