Background:I can't stand the radio. Not even a little bit. Maybe I can tolerate 3 out of 5 songs on a random station, but I hate the DJs and comercials drive me nuts. I basically haven't listened to the radio since around 1998.

I don't like the screeching alarm. It would be equally enjoyable if someone woke me up by attempting to ram a cucumber up my ass.

I eventually settled on classical music. If I feel like laying in bed for 10 min before getting up to shut off the alarm (clock is on other side of room) it's cool. There are no commercials because it's publicly supported and dude's not a shock DJ.

Fuck, that was a long intro.

Important Stuff:They just changed their format to NPR. Like I want to be woken up by NPR. Turns out they're still broadcasting the classical music on HD radio. But all the HD radio's I saw are $200. I really don't want to pay $200 for a fucking alarm clock.

Satellite radio? Still $200 and now I have to pay a monthly fee.

Leaving my computer on is not an option because I can hear the fan and it pisses me off. Plus my inner hippy protests at the electrical waste.

I have no idea what to do.
