Also, I have the Nina Hagen Band 10" single from 1980 (w/ "TV Glotzer" on it). :-)

Dagmar is the element I like the most. Moore's Flying Doesn't Help is a great album, too.

Many people say Henry Cow sounds clinical to them but it just makes me feel lonely, to me there's little music that sounds more passionate, uncompromising, committed, I dunno.

If you get a chance, download (or buy, if you can find) 'Tank Battles'. It's nearly life-changing.

I'm not sure which of the two I prefer, as Nina Hagen I only know "Nunsexmonkrock" plus the "Nina Hagen Band" Ep from, the latter I frankly find to be pretty boring, while NSMR is incredibly fascinating, AND heaps of fun. Krause is a pretty different affair, IMO, much more human, I guess, through poppypop melodies in Slapp Happy to some quite odd and great ones in Art Bears and Henry Cow, I don't really think I can pick one or the other, particularly considering my lack of knowledge in all things Hagen (does she have albums where she actually is less frantic and more, well, Annie Haslammy? Hah!)
I'm going to agree with Milton on Henry Cow, to me that band's always sounded very passionate, and thoroughly compelling. I bought Leg End a few years ago, and it did admittedly take a few listens before it cracked, but that goop inside has given me vast quantities of enjoyment ever since.
What the world needs, however, is more music like Hagen's "UFO"!

ms. hagen also had a really cheesy video on beavis and butthead once -- something about carlos castañeda -- and of which b&b made much mirthful fun (Butthead: "is this a joke?" Beavis: "i think it's from the local-access cable channel or something!")

and my fingers are always crossed for Dagmar's return to the stage

Does anyone know about the source of this performance? Far superior to the album version, but I can't find anything about when/where it was recorded or it exists in a form other than a shitty YouTube video

Where is Dagmar Krause these days, people? She seems to have had zero internet visibility for the better part of a decade. A fearless and wildly intelligent singer with absolutely no peer.

Merkel’s punk pick for leaving ceremony raises eyebrows
Angela Merkel has left Germans wondering how well they really know the chancellor who has governed them for 16 years, after picking a song by the punk rocker Nina Hagen as the soundtrack for her military leaving ceremony.

her mother eva-maria's recordings of brecht-weill are fine - maybe those would be something to compare against "supply and demand"! wikipedia says eva-maria was considered the "brigitte bardot of the gdr"! (it also notes that she passed away last month - rip, eva-maria.) in addition, nina hagen's stepfather was wolf biermann, whose "Chausseestrasse 131" is an essential work of magnitizdat liedermacher. both worth checking out!

Dagmar's Tank Battles is my alltime favorite album that is currently out of print.

Plenty more on that here, I used to share a flat with Nina Hagen in Camden and she used to make pizza out of dead cats....
