Two turntables and a bunch of stickers

By BILL JENSEN | October 4, 2006

Wah!!! Making this album was painful! Wah!!! Try roofing a house, dick.

Yes, Beck claims that Information, released this week, almost broke him. It broke him so much so that he didn’t even bother coming up with cover art.

But that didn’t stop the Thin White Puke from delivering yet another burst of coolness — he’s letting you design the album cover.

The CD comes with a four-page blank insert and four sheets of psychedelic-cum-folk-art stickers designed by artists like Jasper Goodall and Han Leeto. We had thePhoenix.com blogs On The Download (bottom) and Slop Culture (top) take a crack at designing the ultimate Beck album cover.

It was pretty painful.

For the 13 people that bought the album instead of dowloading it, send your cover creations to slopculture@phx.com.
