bulldoziaThe other day I heard - for the first time in many years - the expression 'squeaky gate music', and it occurred to me that squeaky gates are actually quite interesting. What do you think? This is a recording of the squeaking doors at High St train station in Glasgow, heard from the standpoint of someone (me) loitering on the corridor-bridge that links the two platforms. This is my second audioboo recorded at this station. There are actually some squeaky doors on that one too, but more incidentally. Here they are in all their dissonant glory. Recorded Wed 8 September 2010 around 6.15pm.
