ALICE NOT JOHN
Episode 15: A Fictional Radio Transmission
Guest: Matthias Halsberghe
Host: Joeri Bruyninckx

A conversation I overheard in a record store:

Customer: “Do you have Coltrane?”
Record shop owner: “In the jazz section.”
Customer: “I mean Alice, not John.”
Record shop owner: “In the jazz section.”

ALICE NOT JOHN is the name of a fictional radio show. The idea is this: for every episode, I ask a musician the same questions. The answers I receive are the “playlist” of my fictional radio show. The questions are these:

The Vengaboys – ‘We Like to Party (The Vengabus Is Coming)’
(in a subdued, hummed version)

Slayer – ‘War Ensemble’

What’s your favorite air guitar song?

Pretty much anything by King Diamond.

Name a song you originally didn’t like but now love.

Angèle – ‘Balance Ton Quoi’

Name a song you originally loved but now hate.

Probably anything by Metallica.

What song do you associate with your adolescence?

Machine Head – ‘Davidian’ / Congress – ‘Under Pressure’

What song do you know the lyrics to by heart?

R.E.M. – ‘Losing My Religion’

What song makes you feel better when you’re feeling down?

Deep Purple – ‘Highway Star’

Name a song people wouldn’t think you’d like.

Moderat – ‘Milk’

Can you name a song you think people should listen to because they probably don’t know it?
