Hola, James!

I warn you, though: these German Shepherds are not too cuddly.

I know so little about The German Shepherds outside of their Music for Sick Queers LP. I've loved that record for a long time but never tracked down anything else, other than the I Adore You single.

@ Rich: There isn't much else as far as official releases go, other then another single and the "Explore the Freedom of Total Control Tape."

They are def big faves of mine....

Free trip to the moon for anyone who can ID the LP underneath today's tapes. Big hint: the group is from Portland.

Half the audience seems to be yakking away non-stop. What better place to hook up than a German Shepherds concert?

Are you saying half the audience would be shepherding non-stop at a Yak concert, Tony?

Exactly!! (Heya, Doug!)

Yay German Shepherds! These lyrics were transcribed verbatim from an old Cold War scare album.

As I said (on mic), this tape doesn't have a tracklist. I don't recognize the track on now -- think it may only appear here.

Though, of course, perhaps my memory is failing me. If you recognize it, do pipe up!

In the meantime, why not agree to call it, "He's Anal."

Carmichael:

I found this on Ancestry, one of the founders: Stephen J Scheatzle

Born on 9 Feb 1952 to Edgar Scheatzle and Dorothy. He passed away on 2 May 1992 in San Francisco, California, USA.
Avatar 12:42pm
Tony Coulter:

Thanks, Carmichael. They created false biographies for themselves (such as the claim that one was arrested for child molestation), but, sadly, I guess that obit could be real.
Avatar 12:43pm

The Jodie in question here is Jodie Foster. I believe this is a setting of John Hinckley Jr.'s letter to her.

I'm guessing that Zappa/Mothers cover will never be released, for copyright reasons.....

This is an alternate version of "THC," sans lyrics....

I never even heard of these guys before today. This is great stuff.
Avatar 12:57pm
Cecile:

These guys were a favorite of some CBN DJs in the 80s. I remember maybe one song from back in the day.

But it's kind of great hearing everything today.

Hey there, cklequ! Glad you're enjoying the tape....

I had that song by them Armageddon Man on a tape from the radio show for many, many years and when I bought the LP was surprised the rest of their stuff was nothing like that track.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:05pm
Rich in Washington:

a radio show. Not THE radio show.
Avatar 1:06pm
Tony Coulter:

Yeah, "Armageddon Man" has "rockin' guitar," doesn't it? Not normally their thing!
Avatar 1:13pm
Tony Coulter:

So, as I mentioned, this tape was sent to me by a friend of the German Shepherds. Sadly, I no longer remember who he was, and if I still have his letter I've completely misplaced it. My "files" (ha!) are just a bunch of totally disorganized cardboard boxes full of random, crumpled crap.
Avatar 1:21pm
Tony Coulter:

But, well, thanks for the tape, unknown person....
Avatar 1:26pm
Tony Coulter:

"J.J." is, of course, Jim Jones....
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:28pm
Rich in Washington:

JJ recordings are more horrific than anything any 80s industrial band could come up with. No wonder so many released these without nearly any accompaniment.
Avatar 1:39pm
Tony Coulter:

A lot of that Manson/Jim Jones '80s industrial/death culture stuff seems pretty tired by now -- but to me the German Shepherds' brand of creepiness really holds up.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:45pm
cklequ:

Do you have any plans to replay any of your former tape hiss shows anytime soon (or not so soon)? I know you do this on occasion.... If so, can i make a request?
  1:46pm
MrFab:

Totally agree tony, and you can throw in the Nazi and/or S&M tropes. Suicide, like these doggies, also hold up well thanks to their avoidance of cliches.

Mxyzptlk? Weirdly, it's pronounced MIX-yez-pit-lik. Superman villain.

Loved that one. And not just because of that mind blowing Jad Fair Track (I'm too cheap to drop 25 bucks on the only copy available on discogs)

@ cklequ: Sure, that show is a good candidate for resurrection, as it aired a long time ago. Will keep it in mind....

@ James: Aha! Makes sense now....
Avatar 2:06pm
Tony Coulter:

So, is anyone familiar with any of these German bands? Had never heard of any of them before getting this tape last year.
Avatar 2:18pm
Carmichael:

On iTunes, Die Ruttler is listed under Romanian Pop Rock: music.okihika.com...
Avatar 2:21pm
Tony Coulter:

Sorry for the playlist confusion during side A -- took me a while to get the hang of their wacky Germanic track-title system.

Sorry also for not saying the name of Superman's arch villain correctly yet again -- perhaps his name is better left unsaid.
Avatar 2:23pm
Tony Coulter:

@ Carmichael: That seems unlikely to be right -- unless it's a different outfit. But who knows....
Avatar 2:29pm
Tony Coulter:

What's confusing about this tape's tracklist is that it includes the names of the True Love Tapes releases the tracks are from, in rather cryptic fashion -- but I've got it all sorted out now. (You'd think I would have sorted it out before playing the tape, but no....)
Avatar 2:35pm
Tony Coulter:

Actually, my copy of the tape is missing the tracklist -- I'm cribbing from the discogs page here: www.discogs.com...
Avatar 2:41pm
Tony Coulter:

So, Discogs tells me that most of these bands put out cassette albums -- in some cases, quite a few.

Looks like I missed a good one Tony! I have an original copy of MFSQ and I find it more disturbing then when I originally bought it.
