Alright pal! Welcome to GUM, your free slice of Glaswegian life and times lovingly complied by a troopof over worked and underpaid hacks. We have trawled the depths of sub-culture to bring you a collection

of 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 proprietorsof the Recoat Gallery (323 North Woodside Road) kindly invited us into their urban abode to have a chatabout graffiti and angry old women. BUT if that does not get your pulse racing then the surreal worldof telepathic may just do the trick. At GUM we do not like to take chances when entertaining you, ourprecious reader, so in the name of depth we fired in some material about the dreaded credit crunch and

asexuality.

Failing that our pick of the West End’s best venues and choice of 5 artists to look out for this year will

surely keep you happy. No?

Well before you throw this bad boy in the bin have a swatch at the travel section and get lost in images of Tokyo, the exotic world of Fijian beaches, a new world wonder and a Bangkok revolution while our damnsexy fashion shoot is the equivalent of a medieval feast for your eyes, yum.If this collection of journalistic riff raff fails to satisfy your brains hunger for something new then GUMhas failed and we offer a full and frank apology. Kindly write us a lengthy letter of complaint - we will

definitely read it.Safe home!
