 Mr. Curt & Friends

 Kernels for the Birds

HOTLINE TO THE UNDERGROUND

Essay by Joe Viglione 

 

Hear Andy Hollinger and Mr. Curt perform Bobby Hebb's "SUNNY" on Kernels for the Birds

https://youtu.be/uZHW-uW2eI4 

 

From the Kids to the Real Kids to Mr. Curt solo on Euphoria Records, the Mr. Curt catalog of music is a long and important, historic part of the New England Rock and Roll Story.  His bands Pastiche and The Exis made their mark from the 1970s to the 1990s if my memory serves and  somehow a couple more decades developed to the year 2021, a half a century, and welcome to his newest CD, Kernels for the Birds.

Dave Godbey from Fox Pass co-writes the first minute and two seconds entitled "In a Haze." It's the intro to a collection of Space Age Bachelor Pad music meets the avant-garde side of the New Wave, Track two is about breeding heroes and includes a hypnotic mantra if you will, "Ripped,Wrecked and Excited" would raise the eyebrows of Roxy Music's Eno and Velvet Underground's John Cale.  There are a number of college radio stations which should embrace this, most notably the Record Hospital over at WHRB, Harvard and WZBC Newton, bringing us truly back to the future.  I'm surprised Curt didn't invite members of Wet Pizza https://soundcloud.com/user-785838058 and Free Pizza  https://soundcloud.com/bufurecords/free-pizza-boston-ma to join in on his two minute and forty-six second "Where's the Pizza?"  It's innovative enough to have three bands clashing in stereo. George Harrison's "The Inner Light" (flip of Lady Madonna 45 and on Past Masters and the Love album from the Beatles) with Andy Hollinger on impressionistic guitars and Ed Morreau on assorted keys/fx, it's actually a quite intriguing look into Harrison's pop jolt that Beatles fans did not expect.

"Soups on the Table," "Day Lilly" and "First is the New Last" segue into each other like a trilogy while Curt's track on the tribute to the late Asa Brebner (of Robin Lane and the Chartbusters/Modern Lovers) album I Am Not Gone, similarly titled "He Is Not Gone" is included here.  It's very well done.

    Also included is an exotic rendition of Bobby Hebb's "Sunny," recorded for the maestro's Facebook SUNNY page.  Bobby would have been very proud to hear such a different version of his popular song, one of the top 100 songs of the 20th Century for BMI.  "A Monk in a Ninja Suit," "Gaslighting," "Wannabees (that never were) right up to "The Last Night on the River"  are sixteen tracks that are entertaining, inviting and in some cases make your head spin.  Let Kernels for the Birds be your secret treat to surprise people with at parties.

The Kenneth Highland Interview Friday May 28, 2021 Interview by Ms. Janis Reed MAY ARTIST OF THE MONTH

 11:51 am May 31, 2021   All Time 318,697  Today 90 hits so far, yesterday 78  2100 this month   /  1,644 last month April



Janis Reed: What Music Is Kenneth Highland making in May of 2021?


Kenne: I'm doing my own originals with Kenne Highland's Air Force. a variety of late '60s infuences, Byrds country-rock, San Francisco psychedlic; basically WCMF Rochester NY summer '68 (cf. to WBCN same era). "Suckin' in the '70s" also recording with mad painter whom I have dubbed "Heep/Purple". I saw Uriah heep do "stealin'" on Don Kirshner maybe September '73 and we DID finally record a version. check out my youtube channel, Lowell Street studios is supposed to post things



 

2)How do you listen to music these days...radio, internet, TV?

Listening to music: WJIB 740 AM, Bob Bittner used to be program director WADD, Brockport NY; my radio class broadcast there in '74. ALso the bumper music on George Noory's Coast to Coast AM WRKO. Internet I am all over the WORLD: ethnic radio stations of all sorts but my favourites equal my father's 1959 mediteranean cruise. TV; unless it's masterpiece Theater, I binge on ION's action/cop shows THO Scandal on Court TV at 0600 has THE greatest soul music soundtrack! And watching Stevie Wonder vinyl albums spinning on a turntable.....


3)Are You writing a new album?

3) "am I writing a new album?" I'm the only one whom sees the brighter side of Joe Vig and Co-Vid! No gigs/no clubs/"No Fun", I got back to where I once belongs, early 1973, cold, hour from Niagra Falls, Brockport NY where I had guitar/records/fanzine and I worked six days a week...


what's different? ("I'm not 16 and savaged, tho I should listen to it soon again). Without playing live in four bands doing NON-Kenne songs, I got to write Kenne songs or how the hell do you think those Gizmos songs got written?

I was pushin' a broom when "That's Cool' came to me. So yes, Dino records gonna do another kenne album, so I have incentive to write songs. Writer's block? Mental blocks? Building blocks? "all we are saying ….is give peace a chance!" (Funny how a Scouser talked Cockney ehyming slang!)"......

4)What are your thoughts on Club Bohemia in context of the music scene in Boston and Cambridge and what other clubs offer the same open door policies? Talk to Kenneth Highland on Facebook

 https://www.facebook.com/kenneth.highland.7

4) My thoughts on Club Bohemia and Boston clubs. 

1974 Brockport NY, the barge Inn. Bad Company covers. 12 March 77. the real Kids doing Eddie Cochran's "Jeanie Jeanie Jeanie". I moved here for a reason and not just because Ma's Spencer and Blodgett ancestors were in 1630s Harvard Square (to which, playing the Devil's Music, I'd be "hangin' from the Gallows Poll"!)...

I’m looking for somebody to sell my dog, collect my clip, buy my animal and straighten out my bird. I’m looking for a place to bathe my bird, buy my dog, collect my clip, sell me cigarettes and commission my bath. I’m looking for a place that’s gonna collect my commission, sell my dog, burn my bird, and sell me to the cigarette. Gonna bird my buy, collect my will, and bathe my commission.
