“I’ve come to wish you an unhappy birthday / Cause you’re evil and you lie / And if you should die / I may feel slightly sad (But I won’t cry).” If those lyrics don’t ring any bells, then you’re probably not celebrating the 63rd birthday of the man who wrote them — Steven Patrick Morrissey, the former Smiths singer, current solo artist and eternal curmudgeon who turns 63 today (May 22). So, while the rest of us spin our favourite Morrissey tracks, you can peruse this list of 340-plus new albums, EPs, singles, box sets, compilations, anthologies, retrospectives, soundtracks, vinyl reissues and cassettes arriving next week.
