If you've never visited it before, WFMU's Beware of the Blog is a virtual treasure trove for lovers of rare and weird music. Being that it is complete with MP3's of some of this arcane weirdness, it's the kind of place that makes it very easy to waste hours of your life. Anyway, I hadn't checked it out in awhile and was interested to find this recent posting regarding some early musical projects from Ralf Dörper, who went on to be in Propaganda and Die Krupps.
From Beware of the Blog:
"Ralf Dörper is best known as a founding member of Die Krupps and Propaganda, but his musical career started earlier, as a member of avant-garde punk band S.Y.P.H. in the late 70s. When S.Y.P.H. broke up in 1980 out of protest against the commercialization of the local punk scene, he recorded his first solo project, the 7" single Eraserhead on the Rondo Biermeier label. He also collaborated with Jürgen Engler under the name Die Lemminge, releasing one 7" single Lorelei in 1981 on the Pure Freude label. In 1983 these two singles were released by UK label Operation Twilight on one 12" as Ralph Dorper's Eraserhead. Not available on the blogosphere before, here it is for your listening pleasure (if your idea of pleasure is dark electronic music from Germany...)"
