For KCRW's Guest DJ Project, the Santa Monica station asks luminaries to comment on the music that shaped them. (Bonus: They play it, too.) The best of the bunch? The shows featuring Conan O'Brien (who, besides enjoying the White Stripes and the Clash, explains that he'd much rather be a musical guest than a late-night host) and John Cusack. The latter, while discussing Ray Davies, ventures into heavy music critic territory: "There's a dark, savage irony to his stuff that just adjusts you in a fantastic way." As Cusack fans already know, it looks like someone missed his calling.
