Just when you’re feeling really uninspired to write, Brussels usually comes to your aid. This week, the metro has been very helpful.
I must have mentioned this before, but if not, the metro stations play music on the platforms. Nobody seems to know why. I’d always wondered if they played the same music in all the stations simultaneously, and this week I discovered that they do. Or, at least, they do at Arts-Loi and Trone.
The next mystery to be solved is the choice of music. Who could possibly think of playing all of the following?
And, most bizarrely….
I have a vision of a suggestion box in STIB headquarters, where employees put their ideas in and all of them get played… You can’t tell me that any editing goes on!!!

my personal favourite on the inappropriate metro soundtrack is this: http://youtu.be/IPZuYwYxnL4
regularly heard at Arts-Loi. A special message for our STIB customers perhaps?!
Haha! Yes! I couldn’t remember whether I’d heard that in Brussels or not… I knew I’d heard it on the radio in France!
Dude, you need this month’s Bulletin where I INTERVIEW the man responsible for the metro music. Oh, yes.
While I was pleased to have the matter cleared up… I was really hoping it was a more exciting selection process
