John Doe, the guy who formed one half of X’s front line next to Exene Cervenka more than 30 years ago, is still on the scene, doing what he does best on his new solo album, Keeper (Yep Roc). With all four of its original members (Doe, Cervenka, guitarist Billy Zoom and drummer D.J. Bonebreak) on board, the best band to emerge from L.A.’s punk scene is slated to perform an impressive schedule of live shows this fall that includes a South American tour with Pearl Jam. Doe will also be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our brand new Q&A with him.
Doe: Six or seven years ago, I made a list of more than 100 movies that I thought people should pay attention to. In no particular order, here’s a few from that list: The Deer Hunter, Tootsie, Meet John Doe, Broken Blossoms, The Bank Dick, Fat City, The Secret Of Roan Inish, A History Of Violence, The Petrified Forest, Midnight Cowboy, Miller’s Crossing, City Lights, Cockfighter, Sullivan’s Travels, Young Frankenstein, Ironweed, Female Trouble, The Little General, M, The Emerald Forest, Age Of Innocence, The Red Balloon, Paris, Texas, etc.
