It reflects not only the boundary-pushing ethos of Talking Heads, but also the influence of Black music as a cultural force that helped shape it. https://bbemusic.bandcamp.com/album/naive-melodies", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3630864, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3630864/?format=api", "airdate": "2026-03-19T02:37:18-07:00", "show": 66219, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/66219/?format=api", "image_uri": "https://coverartarchive.org/release/9dbfcc90-dabe-44f0-90ac-45e4cf4d2628/27976662120-500.jpg", "thumbnail_uri": "https://coverartarchive.org/release/9dbfcc90-dabe-44f0-90ac-45e4cf4d2628/27976662120-250.jpg", "song": "Colonial Mentality", "track_id": null, "recording_id": "835e054c-12f2-4252-aa9c-e746d704ddec", "artist": "Fẹla and Afrika 70", "artist_ids": [ "6514cffa-fbe0-4965-ad88-e998ead8a82a", "dc45f2dc-ef36-4a7a-aa52-97495fca8ced" ], "album": "Sorrow Tears and Blood", "release_id": null, "release_group_id": "068b1ec1-9922-301c-b57c-8bf76a303098", "labels": [ "Kalakuta Records" ], "label_ids": [ "f5693b5e-ffb4-4b0d-a03b-2f64e33e6a06" ], "release_date": "1977-01-01", "rotation_status": null, "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "Sampled in Missy Elliott & Timbaland's \"Whatcha Gon Do\"\n---------------------------\nRead Ajibola Bodunrin's breakdown of the colonial mentality here: https://medium.com/the-decolonization-of-fela-kuti-a-meditation-on/introduction-the-colonial-mentality-aaeef3c17fa1", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3630863, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3630863/?format=api", "airdate": "2026-03-19T02:34:55-07:00", "show": 66219, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/66219/?format=api", "image_uri": "", "thumbnail_uri": "", "song": "Tony's House", "track_id": null, "recording_id": null, "artist": "Captain Planet", "artist_ids": [ "5731726c-7ace-491a-b47c-96ad7d14b612" ], "album": "Dig!", "release_id": null, "release_group_id": null, "labels": [], "label_ids": [], "release_date": "2026-01-01", "rotation_status": "Heavy", "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "Los Angeles producer and DJ Captain Planet returns with \"Tony's House,\" a high-energy dancefloor tribute to Afrobeat legend Tony Allen.
