A Monday Song

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 ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง. 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 ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง and his wife MALKA SPIGEL ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง.

NEWMAN is best known the front man and vocalist for my 2nd favourite band- WIRE ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง. They have been around on and (off occasionally) since 1976! NEWMAN has also released solo records and as a member of GITHEAD ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง.

SPIGEL was in Israeli/ Belgian outfit MINIMAL COMPACT ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ช from the 80โ€™s on and also in GITHEAD ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง with her husband.

IMMERSION have been releasing music for about 30 years. Their new LP is entitled โ€œWTF??โ€

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 โ€œPush The Rockโ€

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 โ€œโ€ฆUse It Donโ€™t Lose Itโ€
