Culture Bread is Dead (well for now)

2010-08-09T09:55:00.002+01:00

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.

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.

but filled with an undercurrent, of annoyance!
Just like the area I live in Bristol (St Pauls)
Google St pauls Bristol.. and check out my err
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.

SuperHumanoids.

2010-05-26T17:50:00.006+01:00

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

Klaxons!

2010-05-26T17:28:00.002+01:00

LCD Soundsystem.

2010-05-22T12:39:00.007+01:00

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

Jigoku : A Visual Mixtape.

2010-05-22T11:13:00.003+01:00

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).

Darktown Strutters.

2010-05-22T10:53:00.003+01:00

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.

Faux Pas.

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.

2010-05-17T22:25:00.011+01:00

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.

you want to.

FOLK.

2010-04-21T19:46:00.003+01:00

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

Gang Starr.

2010-04-21T19:19:00.004+01:00

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.

New York rap star Guru dies at 43.

2010-04-21T07:15:00.002+01:00

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.

2010-04-14T18:38:00.004+01:00

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

Bungalow records... we thank you.

2010-04-14T18:03:00.005+01:00

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.

Bungalow records... we thank you.

2010-04-14T17:16:00.013+01:00

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.

Bungalow records... we thank you.

2010-04-14T17:07:00.011+01:00

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.

Bungalow records... we thank you.

2010-04-14T16:38:00.004+01:00

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.

2010-04-10T15:44:00.004+01:00

Nice to see that Crookers have given Yelle

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

The Xx.

2010-04-10T15:05:00.002+01:00

Chewy Chocolate Cookies.

2010-04-02T22:59:00.005+01:00

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..

Chewy Chocolate Cookies - Doom part Three.

Shogun Kunitoki.

2010-03-27T22:40:00.012Z

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.

Eli Escobar.

2010-03-27T21:40:00.003Z

This is from a new sampler from Scion. It is
a great sampler, but, by far this is the best track on there.
easy lounge electronica for those of you with a dodgy heart.
This reminds me of listening to records in a dark room.. just
beyond the "Chill out" room.. (i gave up dancing in 1999)..
and talking .. whilst chewing off my inner jaw. Mike Post
would be proud.

Eli Escobar - Oslo.

Hey Today!

2010-03-27T21:25:00.003Z

Nice.. very nice! Out now on Turbo Recordings.
totally loopy.. and a grower.. Talk to me baby.. ohh yeah talk to me.
Be bonkers not to check em out here. A classic .. I really do think so.

Hey Today - Talk to Me (Minimix)

Souls Of Mischief.

2010-03-26T15:15:00.006Z

Ohhh joy!!! I am not a rap.. or even a Hip Hop fan,
But anyone that samples the Taxi theme tune, is alright by me..
The Bob James original was a classic, and for some reason filled me
with remorse, and melancholy (best I see my therapist).. ANYWAY!
this is a great song.. and takes this sample, mashes it,
and treats it with the most respect.
I could get to like more of this.. if only my Hip Hop tastes stops and
begins from Gang Starr, and Grandmaster Flash. I will get there in the end..
"Taxi for Eddie Spex"

Souls Of Mischief - Cab Fare

Sharon Jones and The Dap - Kings.

2010-03-26T13:57:00.002Z

Spring does come in baskets full of soul.. if you missed
Sharon Jones last time around then, shame on you! Fantastic
Philly type music for people that dont know their STAX from
their Detroit motors. great single, and a video of 100 days, 100 nights.. below..
I really love this a lot :) check em out here.

This is a sweet track, echoes of Stereolab, and Broadcast, are obvious.
Apparently he is from Singapore, and has an E.P out now.. sounds all
dandy to me.. and this genre is called "Yéyé" .. well you live and learn. This reminds
me of summer days, and watching 1960's movies, whilst eating wagon wheels. thanks
by the way, to Guy Poplin!! for the extra info.. here at Culture Bread.. we thank you.
webpage here. .. you can buy the E.P here.

Blue Angel.

2010-03-24T10:50:00.002Z

Earlier this month I posted a track by Blue Angel, which i just love.
And their management kindly sent me an email, about the new video for 43 Days.
It is a grand gesture, this video.. full of symbolism and a nice narrative.
Quite beautifully shot, and with no band members present on the video,
it gives itself an air of mystery.

enjoy this. Ohh and visit their myspace here

Joensuu 1685.

2010-03-24T10:24:00.004Z

One of the things I like about writing this blog
is the mail that I get, I do get some absolute shocker's of tunes
that I would not wish on my worst enemy.. and there are times i get something
that just totally blows me away.. Now here is the rub.. I received a post from
Joensuu 1685, and all looks promising, write ups from NME.. a nice tour imminent..

The I play the song "Sick City" and feel deflated.. ohh no a grungy indie band!
but i am intrigued with the production.. very Phil Spector, on valium.. the song
grows on me.. so much so, that I play it again.. this time it reminds me.. of Spiritualised..nee; Spacemen 3,... So now I kinda get the song.. and I love it.

You can dig their scene here.

The Daily Note.

2010-03-23T12:29:00.004Z

This is for all you people that don't live in London.
There was a free music paper called The Daily Note, sponsored by
an energy drinks company, that showcased new bands, and and not so new.
It is a jolly good read.. It only came to my attention because an old
Culture Bread ally, Mr Timothy J Holland, sent me a copy that, had
an article on Dalston London, the home of Industrial Records.. even though
their research left a lot to be desired, there is a smashing pic, of
Genesis P Orridge's old front door .. with Psychic cross!
And all in all a a quick intro to the interesting area. You can get, the
whole of the issues from here in a Zip file. And I have been told by Mr Timothy
that issue 3 is really good. All about Psychedelic London! hoorah!

Grab the zip file.. it is interesting, because not all people just live in London
you know! oh and the Industrial records/Dalston piece is in issue 6.

Black Sabbath.

2010-03-22T18:06:00.002Z

Blue Cheer.

2010-03-22T16:13:00.004Z

I checked this band on the wonderful BBC4 "Britannia" series, the series in
question was .. heavy metal britannia.. fantastic stuff, apparently this band..
was heavy metal .. and this was 1967!! you gotta admire a band that says fuck off!
and before you ask.. yes i think they was better than the stooges, and/or Iron Butterfly.

Music and a video below.

Blue Cheer - Summertime Blues.

Bands Wanted.

2010-03-12T10:58:00.003Z

If you are in a band, and have either a demo, or a lovely
remix.. then contact me. I will endevour to post your work.
Please include a short bio, and a picture as well please.
I do get a few requests for inclusions to this site, and to be
honest not all are successful.. so if you are an 80's goth band
with no synths!! or are an indie guitar band, I will most probably
not post anything from you.. What I am interested in is.. Avant garde,
intelligent pop, and nasty dance tunes.

Eddies inbox is always open for you.

Eddie Spex.

Blue Angel.

2010-03-12T10:28:00.010Z

I got this in my email about this new band, instead of me writing anything, this is
the press pack blurb I got in my inbox.

"Just a quick note to let you know about the forthcoming debut single '43 Days' by London based duo Blue Angel. Having met at Backstreet Studios on the Holloway Road, Bella and Jake bonded over mojitos and melodic musings before combining their shared paranoia of city life. With an album pencilled for an October release, the pair have decided to digitally release '43 Days' n May 3rd 2010 as the first taster of their labours.

'43 Days' was written in response to the recent spate of stabbings throughout the UK. When Jake read about a stabbing on his regular bus route, he immediately decided to put down his thoughts in response. The result is a haunting yet uplifting track of escapism. "

I actually like the Song that they have generously sent me.. On first listen it sounds like
Alice Nutter from "Chumbawamba" But no.. it is'nt, and
to be honest that would be doing this track an injustice! Anyway as always it is up to
you to decide.. I really love the production a lot!! download below.And hopefully we will hear
more from this outfit. You can contact their management at
jdw.publicrelations@googlemail.com And you can check em out here.

Blue Angel - 43 Days (Christopher Lee remix)

iamamiwhoami.

2010-03-11T12:16:00.004Z

Now here is the thing.. who are they? bloody great videos tho.

G.L.O.V.E.S.

2010-03-11T10:17:00.002Z

Cannot find a pic of this band.. tho I am sure I have more stuff by them.
Anyway.. I will try and not post any more happy clapper type tracks, but so
far this morning, new music is a bit slow.. but this is pleasant enough..
but dont expect to break out into a sweat!
For all you more hardened esoteric types out there, I will be
doing a NEO/folk / Industrial month soon.. but compiling it
is an absolute nightmare, copyrite wise, as most of the bands
I adore, dont do mixes.. this will be work in progress.
In the meantime, get on ya Miami shades, and cruise down
Barking high street in ya convertable Skoda.

G.L.O.V.E.S - PYX ( Golden Bug remix)

Design Blogs.

2010-03-11T08:55:00.004Z

This is not the usual music post, but i am inspired "I really am"
with two design blogs.. one is called Emma's design blog.
She is a huge fan of big white spaces, and includes soo many
pictures, there is always inspiration, and a lust for design.

The second blog is called The Selby, and this blog is invaluable,
it was set up to showcase artist's homes, so more than not, there
is no big white spaces, just a collection of the most inspiring homes
I have ever seen, for instance check ot "The George pub" section
just quite wonderful... I suppose the main reason I am posting this as well
is that I am in the process, of stripping away all my bland painted walls
to reveal the plaster, (and what is underneath) to all it's glory.. I think
this is a great look.. anyway .. check out the blogs.. have fun being nosey.

Eddie. xx

R.I.P Mark linkous.

2010-03-08T09:45:00.004Z

Just heard the sad news that Mark Linkous, Main man from Sparklehorse,
has killed himself.. now i have love'd this band for a long time..
My first intro was on a wire tapper promo cd 1998 (which is really good ).
And I fell in love with his introspective lyrics, and his beautiful
chords, that still haunt me now. His ability to "make a chord sound like
he had played it three weeks ago, on a long sustain" is a neat trick
that he could play on us. In respect .. I will give you my favourite
Sparklehorse track.

Bongwater

2010-02-26T15:47:00.005Z

This is posted as an oddity, or is it?.. seems that this was from
the people that brought you the "Shimmy Disc label" I have heard
the band name before .. but now has gone back to the annuls of
my L.P collection..
what made me perk up was a reference to canvey (ie: Canvey Island essex). Now since
I have lived on Canvey Island myself.. (back in the black old days)
this made me smile. Anyway.. a curio.. or could have been something more?

I will let you decide.There is a wiki page here. And I got this from here.

Bongwater - Chicken Pussy

Primary 1 ft Nina persson.

2010-02-26T13:21:00.004Z

stuff like this really floats me, the same
as bands like The Presets, and Midnight Juggernauts.
This is defo on my music player this month, and the next.
Check em out here, and here. Oh and i got this from here.

Primary 1 and Nina Presson - The Blues.

Sebastian Tellier.

2010-02-26T12:06:00.005Z

This is a remix by Aeroplanes, then remixed on top by
Mr. K from The kettle. instead of writing my own blurb,
here is what Mr K said in an email:
"I was listening to some mixes/radio shows online - i heard a remix of a sebastian tellier - but they'd clearly just sped it up .. turning it from a mid-tempo italo/80s remix into an electro disco tune .. so i just sped up my mp3 version and am sending it to you now .. it totally transforms the original REMIX. Really great."

I have a lot of time for Sebastian Tellier, so check out website.
Thanks Mr K for the heads up.. you are one of Culture breads finest
contributors. :) In fact look at my Disco September month.. to see more Mr K Contributions.

Sebastian Tellier - kilometer (aeroplane + Kettle mix)

2010-02-24T11:05:00.003Z

But alas no it wasn't, but what i did get was a track
that made me smile.. i am gonna watch out for these guys.
I kinda love em. You can check em out here, and i got this
track from here.

2010-02-24T10:21:00.002Z

Teeth Mountain - Keinseien

COCO ROSIE.

2010-02-24T10:02:00.003Z

Anyway it has a dark edge that i like..and you should like it too.
Check em out here

BANNED! the GRUM post.

2010-02-23T11:58:00.009Z

Well I am kinda shocked, I got an email from GRUM's Management this morning threatening action at my post of my freebie Grum cd's,
in fact it was........One track .. only one
I posted one track on here. Now here is the thing, i posted one track
you get the picture ONE TRACK!! coughs.
they seem to think that i posted all of em.. now here on Culture Bread, i only
post tracks that are either sanctioned on other sites as a promo, or i post
third party remixes, the track in question was a remix, and i posted it
because i feel they are a great band and you should have the right to download
ONE track and then go and buy other stuff from them,
when you are next ready to buy a
new cd/download. I really thought I was acting in the bands best interests.

But the powers that be.. ie: Sarah Bowden, their manager, has asked that

i take down the offending track.. and i will.

Ohh the bummer .. that is a person trying to introduce new music, to likeminded people.. has taken a hit to the head.

DECODER.

2010-02-22T18:23:00.017Z

Another thing , that hit my postbag was a DVD of Decoder,
now, I know this album inside and out.. but have never seen the movie..
but courtesy of "DIL23" I now have it.
I did find the DVD extras was more fascinating than the film itself..
BUT! As a document of the time it is invaluable..
the time of the cold war, and the paranoia .. is still true now..
it is "total war" follow links in this comment.. and look further.
I really enjoyed it.. plus, a good film to watch if you are a einsturzende neubauten
fan.. anyway.. here is a track by Dave Ball, and Genesis P Orridge. From the movie.

Dave Ball & Genesis P Orridge - sex and the married frog
