    Morrissey's new album, "You Are the Quarry," came out last week. It's pretty good...no new ground was broken, but all the songs are solid. I'm disappointed with "Irish Blood English Heart," but that's because the instrumentalization is much weaker than the BBC and live versions I've heard.

    For what it's worth, "I Have Forgiven Jesus" is a nice counter-argument for people who think homosexuality is an abomination before God.

    ...
    But Jesus hurt me when He deserted me
    But I have forgiven you, Jesus
    For all of the love You placed in me
    When there's no one I can turn to with this love

    Monday - humiliation, Tuesday - suffocation,
    Wednesday - condescension, Thursday - is pathetic
    By Friday life has killed me,
    Oh pretty one

    Why did you give me so much desire
    When there is nowhere I can go to offload this desire?
    And why did you give me so much love in a loveless world
    When there is no one I can turn to
    To unlock all this love?
    And why did you stick in self-deprecating bones and skin?
    Jesus, do you hate me?

    "The First of the Gang to Die" is really good, too. It's got sort of a Beatle-esque melody (though nothing else reminds me of the Beatles). Anyway, it's pretty.

    You have never been in love
    Until you've seen the sunlight thrown
    Over smashed human bone

    We are the pretty, petty thieves
    And you're standing on our streets,
    Where Hector was the first of the gang with a gun in his hand
    And the first to do time, the first of the gang to die
    Such a silly boy
    Hector was the first of the gang with a gun in his hand
    And the bullet in his gullet and the first lost lad to go under the sod

    And he stole from the rich and the poor and not very rich and the very poor
    And he stole our hearts away
