Why is this worthy of my time and money?: Because Scarlett Johansson say it is. And if it's good enough for the world's most beautiful woman - who recently performed a duet of 'Just Like Honey' with the reformed Reid brothers - it's good enough for us. Yet so delighted are we that the legendary experimental / abrasive / inarguably brilliant Mary Chain have reformed for a few shows that it doesn't matter that ScarJo, as nobody calls her, isn't scheduled to show up. The music will make it a beautiful enough evening, even if, as ever with TJ&MC, that beauty will be shrouded by a billion layers of broken glass-like feedback.
