Big Dixie

Editorial Reviews
From the Label
In the Forties and Fifties, Dixieland's definition was being expanded by jazz musicians like Eddie Condon, Muggsy Spanier and Sidney Bechet, from within and outside New Orleans. This compilation compares their extensions of the style with the music of Louis Armstrong, King Oliver, Bix Beiderbecke and other earlier masters of Dixieland to form a keen survey of this exuberant, uniquely American art form.

Authenric Music with traditional instruments........2000-09-17

For those of you who enjoy the music, as it was sung and played during the Civil War, this recording is a "must!" J.A. McA.

Living history.......1999-07-31

So shoot me. I like bagpipe music and I like fife and drum recordings and I like brass bands. Recently cruisin' the Internet brought me to the website of a company called Summit Records out in Arizona; and my eye was caught by the title (DCD 126) with a group calling itself The Americus Brass Band. I obtained a copy post haste and I want to all to know about it with equal rapidity. There is just short of 55 minutes of Civil War tunes played in a style that is "historically accurate, right down to the high military pitch and the clicking of the rotary valves on the original antique instruments employed" (as the notes tell us). The history of the band is available in those notes, so let me just dwell on the "music that still produces feelings of humor, joy, sadness, and patriotic pride." Well, what music does not produce at least one of those?--and I am not entirely sure there was anything about the Civil War of which we on either side should be particularly proud. But Sing a Song of Suffering seems to be an eternal way of making the best of a rotten situation during war time; and this CD is replete with such memories as "Tenting Tonight," "Amazing Grace," "Woodman, Spare That Tree," and even a little bit of the "William Tell Overture" and a Meyerbeer opera! In short, this is not the expected line up of soldier songs but selections that are "typical of that which might have been played by a group such as the Americus Brass band." I love it. Give it a try, please.

Album Description

Super 8 Cum Shot (S8CS) drapes heavy punk rock sensibilities over sexually provocative lyrics, catchy songwriting and stimulating live performances that shatter rock music conventions with a good-natured, bawdy and unforgettable punk/party/pop/porno experience.

Fronted by strapping über gay wad Jinx Titanic, and super charged by guitarist Machine Gun Garofalo, drummer Posey "T-Mint" Parker and bassist Dax Malkovich, S8CS mounts a hilarious assault of rip-roaring garage rock melodies and stinging, satirical lyrics that spare no one yet bite without breaking the skin.

On your face and in your pants, Super 8 Cum Shot Volume II picks up exactly where Volume I left off. "I Love A Boy" is fag punk in it's purest and queerest form, "Oh Daddy" features a son asking his father about his sexual exploits while incarcerated, and "Everybody Loves a Muscle Boi" is the ideal follow up to Volume I's "Hollywood Beach."

Echoing Volume I in the way that it introduces each song with a snippet from a porno movie, a virtual f@ckfest links Volume II's ten songs, every track fully guaranteed to bring you to the brink on more than one occasion.
