I have this cocktail napkin on my desk. My father thought it was utterly hilarious.

I spent a bit of time this weekend searching for the new LP by IMMERSION 🇬🇧. While I was not successful, I will locate it soon.

I also spent time listening to this LP digitally as I have been keenly awaiting this release.

This outfit is a collaboration between COLIN NEWMAN 🇬🇧 and his wife MALKA SPIGEL 🇮🇱 🇬🇧.

NEWMAN is best known the front man and vocalist for my 2nd favourite band- WIRE 🇬🇧. They have been around on and (off occasionally) since 1976! NEWMAN has also released solo records and as a member of GITHEAD 🇬🇧.

SPIGEL was in Israeli/ Belgian outfit MINIMAL COMPACT 🇮🇱 🇧🇪 from the 80’s on and also in GITHEAD 🇬🇧 with her husband.

IMMERSION have been releasing music for about 30 years. Their new LP is entitled “WTF??”

When I saw the LP title, I thought of my Dad and the napkin right away.

I think that the penultimate track on this 8 song release is perfect for this Monday morning when combined with the LP title.

Here is “Push The Rock”

MONDAY BONUS!!!

Here is another song from the LP I love. I also think some of the early portion of the video is shot inside the TATE MODERN in London (which makes it extra special for me.)

The track is “…Use It Don’t Lose It”
