About Aalst

Ran into one in Moscow once—sketchy alley, 2010. Freezing ass off, snow up to my knees. Bouncer looked like a tank, scar on his lip. Inside? Girls lined up, eyes dead. Made me mad—waste of spirit, y’know? Not mad at them, nah—mad at the system. Vultures run it, suckin’ souls dry. “Time breaks,” Godard mumbles. Time broke those girls too—stuck in loops, fuckin’ purgatory.

Red-light districts by city

The neighborhoods are so unique. Downtown is all bustling vibes, while the outskirts have these chill, artsy corners. Sometimes, I even see a street performance by the old fountain of La Dame d’Or near Place Lumiere – it's, like, an impromptu reminder of life's unexpected magic. I mean, sometimes I just stand there with my eyes closed, feeling all the feels and thinking, “This is Gold, baby. This is Holy Motors realness!”
