Welcome to GUM, your free slice of Glaswegian life and times lovingly complied by a troop of over worked and underpaid hacks. We have trawled the depths of sub-culture to bring you a collection gumof the real, the random and the rapturous. Mr. Andrew Rae, of Monkey Dust fame, was good enough to have a quick chin wag while the proprietors of the Recoat Gallery (323 North Woodside Road) kindly invited us into their urban abode to have a chat about graffiti and angry old women. BUT if that does not get your pulse racing then the surreal world of telepathic may just do the trick. At GUM we do not like to take chances when entertaining you, our precious reader, so in the name of depth we fired in some material about the dreaded credit crunch and asexuality.
