The asexual one returns. Morrissey will release his first album in seven years in mid-May. "You Are the Quarry" will be followed by tour dates and a week-long stint on CBS' Craig Kilborn Show, where Morrissey last year debuted a song off the album called, "First of the Gang To Die." At the time, I thought the song sounded pretty cool. But I remember being mildly creeped out hearing an aging Morrissey sing about some dude named "Hector."

First the Pixies reunite, then Morrissey puts out an album. It feels like 1989 all over again.
