Sumner also co-wrote the tune with the Chemical Brothers pair.\n\nThe music video was directed by Andrew \"W.I.Z.\" Whiston. The clip starring Rosario Dawson, depicts what initially appears to be a protest but turns out to be an advertisement for a fictional Coca-Cola-type beverage.\n\nThe visual turned out to be strangely prophetic when 18 years later Pepsi released a controversial commercial that showed a protest march being stopped by a wall of police.\n\nKendall Jenner then walks forward and hands an officer a Pepsi, who drinks it and smiles, while the crowd cheers. To nobody's surprise the ad was pulled a day later.\n\nIn a statement to Fader, Wiz said: \"The original inspiration for my Chemical Brothers film came from The Clash lyric: 'Huh, you think it's funny turning rebellion into money,' crystallizing a deep-felt anger that when it comes to the profit margin, absolutely nothing is sacred, not even heartfelt expressions for social justice.

It was released as the B-side of \"Lady Madonna\" and was Harrison's first song to appear on a single.\n\nIt's the last in a series of Beatles songs Harrison wrote that were influenced by Indian music and Eastern philosophy, following \"Love You To\" from Revolver (1966) and \"Within You Without You\" from Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967).\n\nThe lyrics are a translation of a section of the Tao Te Ching, a sacred Chinese text dating back 2000 years that was written by Lao Tsu, a contemporary of Confucius. \n\nNone of the Beatles played on this track; all the music was recorded by Indian session musicians at the EMI studios in Bombay, India, while Harrison was working on the soundtrack to the movie Wonderwall.\n\nHarrison come up with the tune based on how the lyric made him feel; he took the recording back to England, where his lead vocal was added along with John Lennon and Paul McCartney's backing vocals. Instruments used on this track include harmonium, shehnai, tabla, sarod, and flute.\n\nThe original release was in mono; a stereo version was mixed in 1970 and used on the Past Masters compilation. The mono mix features an extra Indian instrument in the intro that did not make it to the stereo version. https://tinyurl.com/y4r2c7u9", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3600233, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3600233/?format=api", "airdate": "2026-01-04T16:29:05-08:00", "show": 65563, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/65563/?format=api", "image_uri": "", "thumbnail_uri": "", "song": "24 Gospel", "track_id": "97022976-3f93-4b7d-8aff-16a60c7c150c", "recording_id": "b4fe6296-eff9-478c-b2bf-d81324adcdc6", "artist": "Navy Blue & Earl Sweatshirt", "artist_ids": [ "304c731f-ea4f-407c-b4fc-65131b1b2b37", "8b22acd6-20e6-4463-a75c-c14b5cfdb666" ], "album": "The Sword & The Soaring", "release_id": "506edb85-80a0-46c1-a115-9a0ff4e3c09c", "release_group_id": "ac5982d9-c995-4db3-8560-1d3fb0d71f6d", "labels": [ "Freedom Sounds" ], "label_ids": [ "d18d9e02-b869-47c8-b4a8-a3a778265060" ], "release_date": "2025-11-11", "rotation_status": "Medium", "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "Born Sage Gabriel Carlos Atreyu Elsesser in Los Angeles in 1997, Navy Blue initially gained prominence as a professional skateboarder, sponsored by major brands like Supreme and Converse. https://tinyurl.com/msvmwsbj \n\nEarl Sweatshirt is on tour!

It’s a soft hand tracing the stretch marks left behind by a once messy, awkward, painful, and frightening realisation of my queerness.

When, out of my face, I’d confessed to someone with my words, my precious words, how I had loved them all those years ago. I was half-expecting some big revelation or closure or acknowledgement, but it didn’t come. I would always be something they’d rather pretend didn’t happen.\n\n\"I wish I could tell little Cob how much joy and beauty was waiting for them on the other side of all that pain. I hope I can give the same love to anyone out there who’s still figuring things out. And I want to keep giving it to you – my beautiful, boundless, infinite queers. This song is for you.
