Viewing Gum Listening Post #19

N-n-n-n-n-nineteen. N-n-nineteen. Nineteen! Apparently, as a tiny child, Paul Hardcastle’s ’19’ was my favourite song on account of it being the number of our house. Obviously none of the war and tragedy stuff caught my attention – but hey, when you’re a child, simply recognising numbers correctly was something to celebrate. And so too do we all celebrate a new Viewing Gum Listening Post. Yay! And a bumper one at that! As ever, it kicks off pretty boisterous and ends up more melancholy and contemplative, but if you didn’t know the procedure by now, you’ll never learn. Stream this sucker below or click nyah for thirteen tip-top tunes handpicked by yours truly.

Viewing Gum Listening Post #10

The Viewing Gum Listening Post hits double figures, and given it’s highly unlikely it’ll reach triple figures (let’s get real here, guys), let’s celebrate! And what better way to do so than with another bumper playlist. Yup, despite my Spotify discord (new problem: massive font/spacing), there’s just too much music out there to not keep compiling these cross-sections of my listening habits over the past what-have-you. I’ll be honest – it’s pretty much all over the shop this time round and has gone through many alterations, some stuff I’ve just whacked in having only listened a couple times (the new Janelle Monáe), some I’m not instantly sold on but hope it will grow on me just by virtue of being on my new playlist (the new Daft Punk) – but hey! There’s something for everyone here, make no mistake. You can click here to open on your Spotify, or stream below. 10/10!
