A man picks up a cardbpard box. He apparently needs one to put stuff
in, for he turns it upside down to empty it from its contents. Out came tumbling
a heap of cassette tapes. I picked them up, counting. There were sixteen of
them, all from one collection. And a curious one it was ... There
is a more detailed
description in the soundblog ...

Some minutes later I saved a lot of 6 cassettes, just before the cleaners
would've picked them up to toss them in their van. Most of it was dutch or flemish entertainment.
It included a cassette of the album "Onverwacht" by singer Luc van Meeuwen, a cassette with songs by
dutch singer Rob de Nijs and compilation cassettes with the titles "De Daverende Dertien", "16 Vlaamse
Hits" and "15 Hardrijders" (dutch/flemish trucker songs ... "Eén hand aan de knuppel, en één hand aan

When I pass under one of the spots alongside the gare de la Chapelle where the road passes underneath
the railway, there are two parked cars with smashed side windows. In one of them, a red Toyato Corolla with a belgian
number plate (see picture), there lies a cassette tape. I took it. It's a mix-tape, with mainly disco/funk/soul music.
[ If you read this and are or (think you might) know the owner of that Toyato, please do contact me (mention the number of the car's
licence). ]

06/05/2007 14h35 Brussels (Belgium) - rue de la Roue / Radstraat
This must have been a tape that crashed not long before I passed through this street just opposite
of Recyclart. Blijkbaar vers gecrashed bandje. Part of it was wound around a parked car's right side view mirror (see picture).
The rest of it was spread out along the pavement, reaching from nr. 33 until about nr. 25.
There I found remaining parts of the cassette itself. It carried little paper stickers on which there was written: (A-side) "MADILU SYSTEM dans BONHEUR"
with above that: "PAULINE". The little sticker on the B-side has been torn in half. What rests reads: " dans Bonheur Pauline Nestor".

Three tapes, that were left behind amidst the rubbish at the end of the market day.
A. The first side starts with a sonata for piano de Schubert. A woman's voice (recorded with a microphone) announces it: "Sonate de Schubert ..."
Turns out to be a radio recording , BRT3, classical music.
The second side is empty.
B. First side: Monteverdi Vespro della beata Vergine nrs. 10-12
Second Side: vervolg Monteverdi vespro; magnificat à 7 voix.
C. Mozart's Requiem. The tape contains a curious recording on the end of side B. We hear someone is playing the piano,
and someone else who appears to be passing a vacuüm cleaner. Just before the tape ends we hear two voices. They sound
as those of 'bad actors' doing a theatre play.
