Morrissey, Something Is Squeezing My Skull, May 2009
Morrissey has his arm around Johnny Ramone's statue for this single's sleeve - a hint perhaps at the concrete and steel he wanted to embrace in his previous single "I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris." It's also a reminder that those he truly love are now dead and gone. If he can't find love in people, well, he'll make eyes at inanimate objects. This time, though, Morrissey seems slightly unhinged thanks to anti-depressants while also up to shenanigans in the back of taxis. Morrissey the slightly sordid. Morrissey the punkily pissed off. Morrissey the lost. Where will the taxi driver drop him off? God only knows. Not the most obvious choice as a single from his "Years of Refusal" album, but you're not hearing me complaining. The B-side is a live cover of "Best Friend On The Payroll" from his unjustly maligned "Southpaw Grammar" album.
23 days till I see him live at the Brixton Academy!!
