new blog.. new life




My love after the war (just click on that.. and everything will be fine.. everything will be ok.)

Last Post.

Brings me to tears , every time.

bye bye ..


Eddie. xxxx






I have decided to halt Culture bread, I think there are way
better music blogs out there, including the excellent
Vice

I have a number of other projects mainly Art,
that is going to take up a lot of my time in the next
few months.. If you are interested in what other stuff
I do you can check out my myspace page here.

Thanks for all those that have read this blog, and I will leave
ALL tracks posted on here for the forseeable future :)

Enjoy, and it has been fun.

Eddie Spex.

R.I.P Sebastian Horsley.






A beautiful man has just died, so young, but I think
it was the case of not if.. but when.. He supposedly
Died after a wake, of his friend Michael Wojas, Horsely
is suspected of taking an accidental Heroin overdose.

This is truley sad , as his wit, and his flamboyance
was very inspirational, and he touched the hearts of
the
Dandy underworld.. he will be sadly missed.


Souvenir.






Pour quoi?

when men was mushrooms , and women were lightbulbs.


Bridgette Fomntaine - Ill Pleut

Primary 1.






I featured a wonderful single by Primary 1 here.. That was
a fantastic song.. and whoo hoo here comes another..
This.. is quite silly.. utterly beautiful, and perfect
for wooing him or her.. as the sun sets, at your favourite
BBQ/ Summer Fete/ or your sleezy bedroom :)
NICE PRODUCTION by the
awful Florence and The Machine. sorry

Primary 1 – “Princess” (Isa Machine Re-invention)






This is just the ticket.. nice summery, happy..

Just like the area I live in
Bristol (St Pauls)

interesting area.. Anyway I digress! This reminds me
of my neighborhood so much,with Reggae, Grime,
Jungle.. and dub step filling the streets, when
the sun shines. The paragons is an elusive lot
They are more known via the Sly & Robbie, reworkings and
dubs.. which is featured below.. but watch the youtube
version first then the mp3 that I have posted, I bet
you love the youtube version better... ohh hum.

Well I got this in my mailbag The other day,
and I did "Umm & arrr" if to post it, because generally
it is not something I would post normally.. but I
do like this a lot, And this was the only "freebie track I got sent"
But I prefer another track Called Contemporary Individual,
which is on their Myspace page here.. anyway here is some blurb from their
Management.. (and yeah do check em out, Cos we love close harmonies right?)

Superhumanoids are a Los Angeles four piece,
set up as an electronic experiment to escape
the everyday of the everyday.
Dreams of a more public lifestyle have taken this
reverie to an unconventional conclusion -
a troupe that incorporates equal parts harmony and dissonance,
programming and organic instrumentation,
lush harmonies and sparse arrangements.
an exploration of pop through a spaced-out,
kaleidoscopic lens.

The band take their musical cues from a diverse array of sources
- neu!, The Beach Boys, The Strokes, The Chills, Kate Bush to name a few.
Their debut EP titled xxxxx was recorded and produced by the band themselves
and will be released by independent label Hit City USA in July of 2010.
Previous releases include
the contemporary individual digital 7" was released last January.



SuperHumanoids - Persona




New track from the wonderful Klaxons, some blogs hate it, some like it..
Personally I love it, if this is anything to go by..
the album is looking good.. I love the harshness of it..
nothing like some dirty psychedelics :)

check out more here.

Kylesa.






This is a FULL ON mix by Mustard Pimp really loud.. not friendly,
get out of the building now! Home Insurance will not cover this.


Kylesa - Scapegoat (Mustard Pimp Mix)






Everyone seems to hail Lcd Soundsystem as the sound that is;
groundbreaking, uber cool, and somewhat avant garde, I just
see it as a time to check out the new flood of remixes
that fill the internet.. I have loved some lcd/s/system stuff before..
mostly tHE epic "Losing my Edge"
but for the most part I find it.. all very dull..
AND I bought the new album (This Is Happening)
and yes on the most part it is ok (ish)..
Anyhow.. check him out here..
and more remixes by bedroom, masters
NOW!


LCD Soundsystem - You Wanted A Hit (Keljet Remix)



LCD Soundsystem - You Wanted A Hit (Ryan Nexus Remix)



LCD Soundsystem - Losing My Edge




This is just wonderful, This is from a DVD, that you can
get from here..
Tho it is out of stock at the moment.
I for one have my name down for when it comes back.
Tis is a Mixtape with a difference, it is a DVD,
of 1960's images, mixed for your delight.
Wonderful teaser video below. (highlight of my
year, if I am honest).







I came across this when listening to the excellent Tommyboy Vice Mixtape. All the Mixtape is pretty
special, but this track stood out. Darktown Strutters, hail from Dallas,
Texas, and have been creating a good vibe over there, being critically
hailed as the next new thing, I am not too sure about that, but I adore this.
Plenty summer vibes to go round for everyone..
check em out here.

Darktown Strutters - (Grab A) Silver Bullet.

Faux Pas.






Hoorah!!!! at last!!! a new album from Faux Pas I have just downloaded the wonderful new album
Noiseworks, his second album .. the first being; "Entropy Begins At Home"
This is really great stuff, Entropy was good .. but this really does shine above it.. what a great
artist.. If you are unsure, listen to the free mp3 below.. and watch the new video for
"Silver Line" which is just wonderful :) check him out here.. and download the album here.


Faux Pas - For The Trees



Faux Pas - Silver Line

Underworld.






A new single from underworld
Well forgive me for being under whelmed .. but I do
still remember them being Fruer.. and to be honest the 12" of "Doot Doot" by Fruer
is quite magnificent... And was brill live..
ho hum being modern and all that ..
I spose I better post their new single.. don't get excited.. Seriously!
Don't get excited. "It is not Born Slippy".. more like, your uncle slipping over at a wedding.


BUT!!! RCLDLBL Blog quite obviously is void of intelligence , they put it as their fashion moment. OHH I dunno.. wake me up when true soul tech comes home.

"Fleet-footed and unashamedly euphoric, Underworld's "Scribble" largely rejects the ferocity of much current underground drum n' bass. Those brackets are kind of unnecessary - it's obvious enough without them that this track, made in league with High Contrast, sees the duo dashing for daytime radio playlists that have recently made room for those they've inspired, such as Pendulum. This is gonna sound great tearing from the speakers of London's summertime traffic, and the legendary dance pair will have a new album ready by the time that summertime has ended."

some bloggers are.. frantic to be cool, when they are peddling uber fashionista's... BOOO YOU! and all your pretence. sorry GRRRR I Just hate . blogs that .. CHAMPION bad songs.

I am on Tumblr now so have a gander..
It is full of photos I have amassed over the years..
tho still in it's infancy.. have a look, you know
you want to.

check me out here.






OOHHHH GOD! I FUCKING LOVE THIS BAND!!
Sorry for the outburst.. but seriously I adore them.
for those who do not know, they are from Argentina..
and are a Kind of an "offshoot" of Farmacia.(WHICH ARE GREAT BTW
AND TOTALLY DIFFERENT TO FOLK.)

I love that FOLK, delve into the messiness that is
"difficult music" but come out unscathed.. I asked them
for an MP3 and they sent me Three! But they have a CDR
out, so I suggest you buy that, and I can give you one track
for free.. (lap it up , you music whores :)
I love the bleakness,which to be honest,
fits well with Argentina at the moment, with
poverty, and a rogue government.. and this track, shouts that!
But still has this defiance, that is the spirit of the people
of Argentina.. I would love to visit one day, I know if I had
the money they could stay at my flat to do a tour of the U.K
ANYTIME :) Well we all dream.

Please, check em out here, they really need to know that you
get what they are doing.. (this is my plea not theirs)I really
get into what they do.. if it is too hard and weird for you..
check out Farmacia here, which is far more respectable,
and electronic pop :)

FOLK - Rocky 2







So to the end of another music legend.. It kinda gets depressing,.. You see, I am
not a huge hip hop fan.. But, Guru, made me listen because, he
spoke about the stupidity, of gang culture and the whole social structure.
Plus, he really got me with the "Jazzmatazz" albums, the first album
is FLAWLESS!! a complete masterpiece!It soo tapped
into the mood of Acid Jazz Label (which i worked for as a graphic designer)..
Ohh heady days, getting drunk with "Mother Earth" (a acid jazz band).. and
seeing "The Sandles" very much live and outta their skulls.. ooh blimey..
and Guru was in that weird mix, of 1970's funk, hippy ethos.. but with an edge.
so in my humble little way.. I say thanks.
so many talented people are dying so young.













This is sad, sad news that Guru has died following his
long battle with cancer.
Read more about this here.
I will be posting some Guru stuff later. R.I.P Guru.

Bungalow records... we thank you.










This is from Bungalow records, the Peter Thomas Orchestra nee Charles wilp, the Bunny remixes
. Fantastic.


Tipsy - 178-79-55-91










Bungalow and Readymade records made some awsome tracks.
From their Berlin origins, they made some amazing, Jap
club pop!! and I mean AMAZING! who would have thought?
Jap.. meets Berlin Loungecore.. still stays with me till
this day. Hoorah for Berlin .. and
Pizzicato Five

Pizzicato Five - Trailer Park music.








I thought I would just pay homage to Bungalow records.


ooh I played this choon to death when it came out!
YES IT IS A BIT CHEESY but! keep listening, it is very subversive..
I adore the sample of the one note.. at the end.
For me, this is a classic track. When I first bought this album..
I had it on my newly bought, Hi -Fi For me it was a big deal..
and very expensive.. I had mini disc,and a great yamaha amp.
Anyway, I was in my flat, and I just got hold of this wonderful C.D,
and I played this song over and over.. and over again..for a whole day.
Then i got a complaint.. not from my house mate.. but from
two old ladies from two streets away!(very,very posh old women)
I must have been playing it loud!
Anyway my point is that, every song has a story.. and that was mine..
loud cheesy pop, in a posh neighbour hood..AND ....
I was busted.!


Eggstone - Taramasalata.










I thought I would just pay homage to Bungalow records.


This is from the second compilation; RO 3003
And this was the first time I met Mr.K,
that has contributed to this blog. He has been
a fundamental input in all music, and it
was "he" that introduced me to "Bungalow"
much respect.. without sounding like a hoodie.
Anyhow.. RO 3003 was suggested by him.. and it is a
fine album.. more so.. the more you listen. Salutations.


Merricks - Schwabing Girls.







I thought I would just pay homage to Bungalow records.
It has been a long time a coming.. they have inspired me beyond
belief! This is a chronological homage.. starting with
the first compilation "suite 98" I m urging you
to buy the compilations.. as they are beyond anything else
I have heard (at the time). One track per compilation.
Shit i want to put on 4 or five tracks per compilation.. BUT
these guys need to sell records.. So if you are a blogger.. promote this.
If you a record buyer, then get out your pennies.. because you will not be
disappointed.
This track, was born out of an album called "the best of Invicta Hi-fi"
which had a track by the lesser known band called Ladytron..
would you figure! Times past, but this track always makes me think of
life before MP3's.

The Maxwell Implosion - Jet Ski

Parvati Khan.







Fantastic "yesteryear hit", that should be for today..
Here in Bristol U.K the sun is shining, and this
is playing loud , with all the windows open.. what a smasher!!
see her here. Ohh and video below as well.. I am soo
good to you, No! seriously, I am :)

Parvati Khan - Jimmy Jimmy Aaja (Disco Dancer 1983)









Nice to see that Crookers have given Yelle
a nice song too do.. here at "Culture Bread towers",
We Love Crookers, and
Yelle. This track is from the fantastic
album, "Tons of Friends" Incidentally, Yelle are in the studio at the moment, working on new music!
I for one, cannot wait..It has been a long time a comin'


Crookers featuring Yelle - Cooler Couleur







Nice strange and totally loopy remix of "The Xx's - Infinity"
which really sounds nothing like the original (thank god!!)
got this from here.. really good blog me thinks. Enjoy.

The Xx - Infinity (Marty Party mix)






This is really super, sounds nasty, then sounds like summer..
then wigs out, then sounds nasty all over again :) I love it,
and you should too...
Could be culture Bread's single of the week :)
Single out now from their website

Streetlab - Rat Racer (LaClopeAuBec Remix)






Kitsune Maison, a Franco-Japananese music

Pure Groove, 6 West Smithfield, London, EC1A 9JX

Chewy Chocolate Cookies.







This must have a film tie in.. could be "DOOM"
that is too obvious.. umm I really don't know..BUT!
I really like this track.. it is like Morricone, on
alcho pops.. not sure what to say, or come to that
what IT HAS TO SAY! Anyway ..
there is an E.P OUT NOW..
called Doom.. duh!


Chewy Chocolate Cookies - Doom part Three.

Shogun Kunitoki.







A concept album?.. and I am all ears, Shogun Kunitoki does that!
There is a video.. how they made a strobe light for
vinyl? .. but! I really do care.. (but I do!), this really get's me.. like Sigur Ros "get's me" and "Add n to(X) gets me, and early heavy metal "get's me" this is fantastic..
watch the videos..and hear the songs.. Superb! I SOOO ADORE THIS BAND ..
it leaves me in a cold sweat.. and i hanker.. yes I do, hanker! I am "absolved" of any sin.. I truly am... ohh heavenly father... " I fucked up I love it"
And God help my soul.

This blog puts it better than me.. I'm in a state of joy.. this must be the
best thing I have heard this year!
