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....
