  Kurt Neumann - Biography - AOL Music
Neumann rose to prominence when he and fellow singer/songwriter and guitarist Sammy Llanas formed the BoDeans in Waukesha, WI.
After nearly 15 years with the group, Neumann (who, when compared to the distinctly voiced Llanas, is often referred to as the "normal-voiced one") took advantage of a break in the action to write, record, and produce Shy Dog.
The foundation of Neumann's solo release was the sturdy folk-rock for which he had become known with his group; however, some electronic sonic touches and the absence of Llanas' harmonies cast the work in a new light.

 Kurt Neumann
German-born director Kurt Neumann came to the US in the early talkie era, hired to direct German-language versions of Hollywood films.
These fans are willing to forgive such lesser Neumann efforts as Kronos (1956) and She-Devil (1956) because they are aware that the director was himself a voracious reader of science fiction; he loved the genre, never regarding his work on fantastic films as "slumming" (as some A-list directors were wont to do).
The credits of director Kurt Neumann should not be confused with those of a similarly named bit actor, who briefly showed up in "Nazi" roles during World War II.

 JS Online: For band member and BoDeans' fans, music is a blessing   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Kurt Neumann of the BoDeans has been through a tough couple of years, but a new album has helped him cope with some of his losses.
That's how it's been for Kurt Neumann, who together with Sammy Llanas formed the BoDeans, the Waukesha-based roots rock band that rivaled the Violent Femmes as Wisconsin's leading music act of the '80s.
Neumann has been living in the Southwest for several years and he talked about some of the things happening in his own life and the BoDeans in a recent phone interview.

 John von Neumann
From the point of view of von Neumann's contributions to the field of computing, including the application of his concepts of mathematics to computing, and the application of computing to his other interests such as mathematical physics and economics, perhaps the most comprehensive is by Herman Goldstine [1972].
The von Neumann household in Princeton was open to many social activities and on one such occasion someone posed the "fly and the train" problem [4] to von Neumann.
The IEEE John von Neumann Medal was established by the Board of Directors in 1990 and may be presented annually "for outstanding achievements in computer-related science and technology." The achievements may be theoretical, technological, or entrepreneurial, and need not have been made immediately prior to the date of the award.

 SoundStage! Kurt Neumann - Shy Dog
Kurt Neumann, formerly of the BoDeans, a fairly reliable band, falls flat with this solo effort.
It is telling that Neumann performed and produced the record and, of course, wrote all of the songs.
In fact, there are no real distinguishing features, other than Neumann’s strange, nasal voice plopped on top of the whole mess.

 Hollywood Gothique: The Fly (1958) Retrospective Los Angeles
Neumann had been born in Germany in 1906 and worked there as a director of comedy shorts and foreign versions of Hollywood films before moving to America in the 1930s and becoming a feature director.
Neumann’s direction is very straightforward, mostly avoiding B‑movie melodrama and thus giving an understated tone that lends a decent sense of credibility to the incredible proceedings.
When first given the script, he was told to read it in a hurry, because the film was scheduled to begin production within two months, and producer-director Kurt Neumann was anxious to know how much time and money it would take to complete the mask.

Interestingly, the three anthemic cuts are written and sung primarily by Neumann, while the album’s more cinematic numbers come largely from Llanas.
According to Llanas, it’s a sound that he and Neumann first discovered in high school, growing up in Waukesha, Wisconsin, and it remains as strong as ever on Resolution.
Kurt’s got more of a smooth, lower tone and can do that bottom thing, where I’ve got more of a high, raspy, gravelly thing that I can lay right on top.

Kurt Neumann, one half of the music-writing team of the roots-rock band the BoDeans, more or less can't find his way around a PC.
When it comes down to it, however, Neumann knows rock, and rock is what this cat's been doing right for the last 15 years.
Neumann is fairly humble about his work, but that's not to say music -- and those who play it -- isn't important to him.

Kurt Neumann: Reviews, Discography, Audio Clips, and more
BoDeans leader Kurt Neumann's solo disc, named after his dearly departed canine companion, was produced during a bumpy period both personally and professionally (a divorce and the BoDeans being dropped from their major label).
Nevertheless, rather than dwell in latitudes of despair, this is the kind of rootsy pop/rock you've come to expect from Neumann based on his work with the BoDeans.

It was almost as if success went to their heads and lead singers Kurt Neumann and Sammy Llanas became enamored of their own voices.
The '90s also included a reasonably successful attempt to recreate the magic of their first record on Go Slow Down, which featured "Closer to Free" (later the theme for Party Of Five) and a way too late in the game live record, 1995's Joe Dirt Car.

Certainly the effects are quaint (the astronauts and ground control communicate via surplus WWII radio equipment), the story a little ridiculous, and the acting stiff--but this was the first serious science fiction movie and was the inspiration for countless films that followed.
"Rocketship X-M" was deftly brought to the screen by famed writer/director Kurt Neumann.
This otherwise excellent Kurt Neuman movie, fully restored, and one of the only ones to have real movie footage from a climbing rocket, is useless to anyone with a hearing impairment.

There are a few surprising electronic sonic touches -- "Happiness" and "And Then This" are downright booty-shaking, in fact -- but the flourishes aren't jarring or anachronistic, merely cream in the coffee.
Nevertheless, Neumann is at his best with straight-up, hook-ridden pop\rock, evidenced by tracks such as "Like I Do." Neumann wrote, produced, and entirely performed this sturdy effort.
