Tomorrow's newsletter is the first in a series on....HOUSEPLANTS. History, design, type, place, all of it's fascinating. If you don't want to be beholden to the Twitter algorithm to find it, sign up here & enjoy this cover of New York Mag from 1975 https://annehelen.substack.com/ pic.twitter.com/X7DipbgCLh

“Magic Carpet Ride” is hilarious because they basically had the track down and sent singer John Kay home with a tape so he could come up with lyrics. He’d just bought a new stereo with his royalties from the first record, so the song’s just about how killer his stereo sounded

Recorded music is still so weird and interesting and mysterious to me. You can hear a song 1000 times on the radio they can put it in a cheesy movie they can play it in a viagra commercial and if yet, if you hear it in the right context, it totally kicks your ass
