Lunchtime Poll: Who Should Sing With The Mary Chain Next? This whole Jesus and Mary Chain reuniting thing is going even better than expected. Not only is the band reportedly not sucking live at all, but they’ve recruited both Giant Drag’s potty-mouthed punk rock Lolita Annie Hardy and aspiring crooner Scarlett Johansson to sing “Just Like Honey” with them. (Hardy joined the band during a pre-Coachella warmup gig, while Johansson performed with the Reid brothers at Coachella). You are with the Reid brothers tonight. They’r

New Reviews: Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Wavves, Peter Doherty and MorePhoto: Josh Wildman It’s Tuesday once again, which means there’s a whole slate of new CDs on sale now at your soon-to-be-closing record stores or favorite digital outlet. Before you brave the St. Patrick’s Day-celebrating masses on the way to the store, let Rolling Stone be your guide to the best of this week’s new releases. Indie rock (or, in this case, sorta indie rock) is the place to be this week, mostly because of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ third album It’s Blitz. Awarded four stars in the upcoming issue of Rolling Stone, which hits newsstands tomorrow, It’s Blitz finds the YYYs throwing an art-punk dance party. “The turn toward the dance floor makes sense: Yeah Yeah Yeahs are drawing on a tradition of arty New York dance punk that extends from the Talking Heads to TV on the Radio, whose guitarist, Dave Sitek, co–produced It’s Blitz! The big news, though, isn’t YYY’s groovier sound — it’s the heat they radiate,” Jody Rosen writes in his review. Out of San Diego, California, we have Wavves’ Wavvves, the second LP by one-man surf-punk auteur Nathan Williams. (Be sure not to mistake Wavvves for the one-less-”v” of Wavves, the band’s debut album.) A cacophony of Brian Wilson melodies and Jesus & Mary Chain distortion, Wavvves is bad–trip music for cloudless days: surging distortion, sun–dazed hooks and a dark sense of humor,” Will Hermes writes in his three-star review. “The battle between noise and melody veers from scary to hilarious to heroic, and as a metaphor for trying to feel good in trying times, it may hit you close to home.” There’s also Grace/Wasteland, the first solo album by former Libertines/Babyshambles trainwreck Pete Doherty (now going by the first name Peter), with the oft-troubled guitarist managing to “make his dysfunction sing” on his debut LP. The album also features “Sheepskin Tearaway,” “a sketch of a chemical romance and one of Doherty’s prettiest songs ever.” For the rest of this week’s New Releases, check below: • MSTRKRFT’s Fist of God • Maria

Fricke’s Picks: Black Angels Even by the nonstop-rock standards of 2008’s SXSW festival, it was weird to see a band that seems to live on ultraviolet light, out in broad daylight, making rippling-tremolo drone on the lawn of a downtown Austin restaurant. But local tripsters the Black Angels bring the aura of mid-1966 — the drilling guitars of early Velvet Underground shows, the raga inflections of late-show Fillmore jams, the acid-prayer stomp of Austin avatars the 13th Floor Elevators — everywhere they go, including the levitations on their second album, Directions to See a Ghost (Light in the Attic). Mid-Eighties echoes of Spacemen 3 and the Jesus and Mary Chain also roll through the scoured-guitar sustain and Alex Maas’ rocker-monk incantations. But he knows what time it is. “You say the Beatles stopped the war,” Maas sings in “Never/Ever.” “They might’ve helped to find a cure/But it’s still not over.” Even so, this medicine works wonders.

"Liars" by LiarsMusic in 2006 didn't get much better than Liars' Drum's Not Dead, a wild, tribal album that exalted in going off the grid and pushing the boundaries of the indie-rock avant-garde. A year later, Liars return with a self-titled album that boasts discernible influences and abundant hooks, yet hardly serves as a retreat to the mainstream. In some ways, it's even more liberated and adventurous than its predecessor, abandoning a single overarching aesthetic in favor of a brilliantly executed effort to fit in a little bit of everything. Liars features a perfect set of bookends, starting with the rampaging riffs of "Plaster Casts of Everything" and concluding with the sublime "Protection," an inimitable love song in the lineage of Drum knockout "The Other Side of Mt. Heart Attack." Unexpected reference points abound, from Beck-ish electro-pop whimsy ("Houseclouds") to Jesus and Mary Chain psychedelics ("Freak Out"). Their unpredictability can be
