Dear everyone e-mailing us about the awful cover for the allegedly forthcoming Whitney Houston record: Don't fret! This bit of Photoshop trickery is a phony cover by a Canadian Whitney Houston fan who goes by the name "dzemil," and who apparently enjoys spending his extra time trying to see just how much he can slim down a thigh with only photo-manipulation software to guide him. The cover does look pretty convincing, though, at least in the "something that would pass muster with an aesthetics-strapped major these days" department. Maybe Sony Music can hire him?

A Note On That Whacked-Out Animal Collective Cover
The designer speaks: "neither weed nor Photoshop were used in the creation of the cover. say what you will about the aesthetics of the cover—I could care less about that—but the idea that one could light up a joint and make that cover happen in Photoshop shows a total lack of understand of both weed and the Adobe suite of software. Seriously: try it and get back to me." Hey, the weekend is coming up, so why not? [Earlier]

Maura is making me bury the cover for Animal Collective's forthcoming Merriweather Post Pavilion after the jump because its optical-illusion undulation gives her headaches. Truth be told, it's another in a series of crappy Animal Collective album covers. (I eagerly anticipate someone in the comments changing that last statement to "a series of crappy Animal Collective albums." Y'all are so predictable.)

Well, Guns N' Roses' eternally delayed album has been confirmed as a Best Buy exclusive, so I'd say "sort of"—the image is apparently one of multiple covers, as there are also SKUs for "Cover B" and "Cover C" on Best Buy's site. (What could the other covers depict? Is Axl going to bite the fan art bullet?) Also, for those of you who are interested, the release date on that page is Nov. 25—the Tuesday before Thanksgiving—so get your pre-orders in now. Maybe they'll still be honored if the damn thing gets pushed back again... [Best Buy]
Is This Teeny Tiny Image Of A Bicycle A Preview Of The "Chinese Democracy" Cover?

Remember when Courtney Love said that her stash of Kurt Cobain's ashes had gone missing? I'm sure the last place she wanted them to end up was in a German art installation. Hell, I think the last place any of us would want to end up is in a German art installation. The Guardian reports that artist Natascha Stellmach is planning to smoke Kurt Cobain's ashes in a spliff as part of a multi-artist installation piece called "I Just Wanted You to Love Me."

The artwork for the album by Devendra Banhart's new project Megapuss features the scruffy singer letting his freak flag fly... while wearing no clothes. Surely there's a Natalie Portman's Shaved Head joke to be made here somewhere. [Pitchfork — NSFW, even if you work at home (trust me on this)]
