„KCRW in Santa Monica aired a tribute to Frank Zappa which included comments by Nicolas Slonimsky, Zappa music, and a re-broadcast of a 1989 program called Castaway’s Choice, hosted by John McNally. This program contained interesting dialogue between Zappa and McNally, interspersed with excerpts from Frank’s ten records he’d take to a desert island, and his reasons why. Frank said „Back in the days when I had recreational listening time these are the things I would actually listen to.“
[INDENT]
— Octandre by Edgard Varese
— The Royal March from L’Histoire du Soldat by Igor Stravinsky

[INDENT]Incidentally, I recall that Frank was once a guest on the Dick Cavett Show in 1980 (or thereabouts) and in terms of contemporary popular music, Frank stated that he was particularly fond of Lucky Number by Lene Lovich„
