Just asking, as we're giving it some serious thought.

I really shouldn't. I'd rather assume they're just having an off day :)

I've done it! After 13 years of research I think I have found Brussels' most soulless cafe.

Pop songs have been getting shorter for years. It's a well-documented trend. But Capital's edit of Dominic Fike 'Babydoll' is the most extreme case I've seen so far.

It's a Caritas International campaign, today, to raise awareness of the experiences of refugee children and to call for better reception conditions for young people fleeing conflict. Next stop Place Lux 1pm.

Happy "Earth Wind and Fire day" to all those who celebrate it.

It's Car-Free Sunday in #Brussels which reminds me of this commemorative plaque in my local pub's toilet when King Philippe was caught short on a bike ride.

Tonight's eclipse reminds me of the best story I've ever read about music, and how it has the power to trigger memories. www.bbc.com/news/disabil...

'The 80s song that brought my lost memory back after 10 years'
A car crash erased Thomas's memory - 10 years later, a 1980s pop song triggered six flashbacks.

Seriously, team. This is the most uplifting event you'll find in Brussels this week, and the air conditioning in Bozar is absolutely bang on.

Why I love early weekend mornings, summed up in 30 seconds.

This is my favourite listener WhatsApp. Every weekday, David texts to say good morning, and the presenter replies with good morning. And that's it, nothing else.

And I get Parc Leopold all to myself. This is good.

With #Brussels parks and playgrounds closed, I asked the kids to come up with a #StormBenjamin plan. This is it:

There are 3 from the same artist, all in Laeken. The one I found is was on Avenue Wannecouter. Meer info: slrb-bghm.brussels/sites/defaul...

Brussels isn't just home to the Atomium, but also the Atomium's little sisters. "De kleine zusters van het Atomium." Here they are, in Laeken. (Cécile Pitois, 2012)

I kind of hope Import:Export gets a mention in 2nd half... when XFM met K-Rock... I'd never heard a show like that before and it sounded awesome.
