• Sexy Music Album Overlays

  Mar 17 93 album, CSS, last.fm, Music, overlay, png

  
  It’s the social web now. We share everything, from our musical tastes, to the bacon avocado burger we ate for breakfast , to the very funny things we say and do.

  I want to show you how to style your music streams and give you some graphics to do so, cause let’s face it, it takes time to design things and it’s easier to use mine than yours ;)

  It’s time for a totally nerdy Rogie post. Here’s a bunch of words that circulate in my rockin’ lingo vernacular:
