As you likely know, “Arrested Development” is returning for a fourth season on May 26, 2013. And in anticipation, designer Josh Cox has celebrated the return of the show by creating amazing vintage record covers for each Bluth family member. Cox was inspired by Ty Mattson’s vintage ”Homeland” covers project.

Earlier today, the Dead Kennedys posted the following message on their official Facebook page:
Jello Biafra is now currently playing many Dead Kennedys’ classics like “Holiday in Cambodia” & “California Uber Alles” with his new band. East Bay Ray, Klaus Flouride, and DH Peligro play all those songs too. Fans are asking – who wants to see them play these classic songs together again?
The dubious statement caused some to believe that the band was possibly teasing a forthcoming reunion with Biafra, with Dying Scene posing the possibility to readers.
However, when questioned, general manager of Alternative Tentacles Records Jesse Townley stated, “Nothing like this is happening as far as I know.”
Starting tomorrow, Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine is kicking off their touring for their new record, White People & the Damage Done at Coachella, and will be following it with a series of West Coast dates and Australia/New Zealand shows, which are listed below.

Judy Garland’s 1939 song “Ding Dong the Witch Is Dead,” recorded for the film The Wizard of Oz, has soared to number 27 in the UK iTunes chart this morning following yesterday’s death of former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
Other anti-Thatcher songs have also been appeared on British iTunes, including Elvis Costello’s ”Tramp the Dirt Down” at number 93, annd Morrissey’s ”Margaret on the Guillotine,” Robert Wyatt’s ”Shipbuilding,” and Billy Bragg’s ”Between the Wars.” (via news.com.au)
Morrissey wasted no time yesterday in announcing, in no uncertain terms, that he will not remember Thatcher fondly:
“Thatcher will only be fondly remembered by sentimentalists who did not suffer under her leadership, but the majority of British working people have forgotten her already, and the people of Argentina will be celebrating her death. As a matter of recorded fact, Thatcher was a terror without an atom of humanity.” (via Daily Beast)
Annette Funicello, the popular star of “The Mickey Mouse Club” in the 1950s who further cemented her status as a pop-culture icon in the ’60s by teaming with Frankie Avalon in a popular series of beach movies, died Monday. She was 70.
Funicello, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1987 and became a spokeswoman for treatment of the chronic, often-debilitating disease of the central nervous system, died at Mercy Southwest Hospital in Bakersfield, Walt Disney Co. spokesman Howard Green said. (via LA Times)
If you’re the type of person who just can’t get along in life without hatefully tagging some guy’s home, destroying a grave site, vandalizing works of art, or wrecking beautiful natural areas, then you are a piece of shit. Let it be known that Verbicide certainly doesn’t tolerate vandalism, nor does it endorse the cool crime of graffiti.
…But then, when you consider the corporatized, concrete-covered world so many of us endlessly drift through, and the streams of billboards and advertisements that blight city streets and interstate highway roadsides, a little subversive creativity never hurt. Right? You can judge for yourself. If you’ve gotta express yourself (illegally), you either need some serious talent like this guy to beautify the bleak urban landscape, or you’ve got to have a good sense of humor. Here are 50 tagged signs and ads that made us laugh.

Today, on the 19th anniversary of Nirvana lead singer Kurt Cobain‘s death, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer has made what is a fairly controversial decision: it is publishing more than 50 never-before-seen photographs from the Kurt Cobain suicide scene and its aftermath.
Cobain, who died on April 5, 1994, was discovered three days later by an electrician who was servicing the greenhouse above Cobain’s garage. The photos, which will surely bring back strong emotions by many, are (according to the PI) “not presented for shock value, but rather as historical images from the P-I archive preserved at MOHAI [Museum of History and Industry]. The newspaper also states that “some of these photos could be disturbing to some readers.”
Most of the photos are taken by Mike Urban, who was in a yard of a home behind the greenhouse where Cobain died, and Phil Webber, who was by the front of the house.
Several images are below; click here to see the entire slideshow.

Only one day after announcing that he was taking a “leave of presence” from reviewing films for the Chicago Sun-Times — for whom he wrote for 46 years — the Pulitzer Prize-winning movie critic Roger Ebert has died from cancer. Ebert died Thursday morning, April 4, according to a family friend.
In addition to writing, Ebert for more than three decades was the co-host of one of the most powerful programs in television history, “At the Movies.” Ebert initially co-hosted with the late Gene Siskel, the movie critic for the Chicago Tribune, and, following Siskel’s death in 1999, with his Sun-Times collegue Richard Roeper.
In early 2002, Ebert was diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer. Ebert underwent further surgery on June 16, 2006, two days before his 64th birthday, to remove additional cancerous tissue near his right jaw, which included removing a section of jaw bone, and lost his voice permanently shortly thereafter.
