## Resource

Welcome to The Source – a buzzy Sunset Strip health-food restaurant... that also happens to be the intersection of kale, celebrities, and the cosmic control of a self-proclaimed deity calling himself Father Yod. Sound weird? That's because it is weird. And why is this the subject of this week's Tape Spaghetti? Because in the cult of The Source, music is mandatory – but sounding good is forbidden. Yep, get ready for a trip through a bizarre take on 1970s "wellness" in which, Jim Baker, a magnetic guru also known as the aforementioned Father Yod, recruited runaways and rich kids alike with food, shelter, and a 4:00am bootcamp of chanting, cold plunges, and fingertip pushups. And while music was a must, anyone who was *talented* was considered an ego-infused enemy. After Father Yod decided he definitely knew how to hang glide with zero experience, the cult dissolved – but the recordings lived on as collectible, psychedelic evidence of a truly unhinged chapter in music-adjacent history.
