“Los Angeles is a powerful, upsetting work that concludes with a confrontation of the band's own rampaging bitterness and confusion. In "The World's a Mess, It's in My Kiss," Exene and John Doe – coworkers, wife and husband, outcasts – chant the title phrase over and over, and the non sequitur yields a terrifying, moving, urgent puzzle: what's in their kiss? The source of the world's mess? Or its solution? The singers don't know – uncertainty is certainly one of X's themes – and neither can we.”

/ Ken Tucker reviewing Los Angeles in Rolling Stone magazine, 1980 /

“Musically, Los Angeles is almost infallible. “Your Phone’s Off the Hook, But You’re Not” kicks off with relentless immediacy as if you’ve jumped into a speeding car on a midnight tour. [John] Doe and [Exene] Cervenka trade lead vocals and occasionally Cervenka veers stunningly off course in vivid and blistering wails, a Siouxsie Sioux in Southern California. On top of Bonebrake’s motoring drums, the songs are dark and doom-laden, fiery and mordant. X sings about drugs and violence and cruising and ennui, conjuring a mood that prefigures Hüsker Dü’s “Diane” and Sonic Youth’s Bad Moon Rising. They stick it to the upper class with “Sex and Dying in High Society”, and they finish with one of the best punk love songs of all time, “The World’s a Mess, It’s in My Kiss.” “Go to hell, see if you like it / Then come home with me”- the musical equivalent of cigarette ashes and red lipstick - the end to a wild ride through Los Angeles’ underworld.”

Soul Kitchen

“The few songs in which they express emotion are very moving. It’s interesting to see how songs about the complexity of desire and recklessness have been simplified by an entire generation to glorify those very things. How can we interact with art without consuming it? Is it in our blood as Americans to pillage and destroy?” - Madidum fēmina

if you’re ever sad i recommend putting on your biggest pair of headphones and dancing around your room to music. The songs that work best for me are The Chain by Fleetwood Mac, Soul Kitchen by The Doors, and Under Pressure by Queen and David Bowie

Mike takes a cigarette between two fingers. “You got a lighter?” Micky instinctively reaches for his breast pocket before he stops.

Micky narrows his eyes. “You don’t smoke,” he says. “And you’re not Mike."

(or, three-fourths of the monkees stop in an eerie ghost town for the night.)

Fall is officially here, and I’m beyond elated.  My favorite holiday, Halloween, is almost upon us, and I can’t wait to partake in the festivities—pumpkin patches, hayrides, and ghostly adventures.  But what excites me most about the holiday is the fun, creative ways to make some sweet treats.   It’s the time of year where the kitchen gets that magical feeling.  I really like to get into the…
