Bubblegum & Other Delights

07.25.21

Contrary to popular opinion, Bubblegum isn’t a four-letter word. Bubblegum & Other Delights is dedicated to the sounds of sunshine that reigned roughly from 1968 to 1974. The playlist spans the Archies to the Zoom soundtrack, and revisits groups like the Beagles, the Cufflinks, the Banana Splits, Josie & the Pussycats, the Jackson Five and the Sweet. Warning: BG&OD is your one-stop shop for that perfect three-minute pop fix. These rare pop confections may ruin your appetite. “Other Delights” tie Gum to genres like punk, soul, or polka to show how all music connects or to highlight a theme, such as “Tiger Beat Boogaloo,” “Bo [Diddley] Knows Bubblegum,” or “Country-a-Go-Go.”
