Kill your radio.
The content of this post may be old news to some. That's fine; I'm writing it on the off chance that someone else hasn't heard of the site I'm about to pimp, or for some reason hasn't chosen to check it out yet.
If you haven't ever gone to a site called Pandora, I implore you to do it now. Here's how it works: You enter the name of one of your favorite bands, then the site creates a sort of personalized virtual radio station for you. It plays songs by your band, as well as other bands who are somewhat musically similar. This gives you a chance to (gasp) expand your musical interests! If you get to a song you really don't like, you can skip to the next one. For some reason (they say it's a licensing thing), you can only do this a few times per hour.
When you couple this nifty little site with the fact that you can download pretty much anything for 99 cents at iTunes (or for free on BearShare or any other not-quite-legal file-sharing system, if you're so inclined) it sort of makes listening to the radio seem a little pointless.
Ummm... not that there's anything wrong with their usual mix of songs: "That was Kelly Clarkson. Next up, 50 Cent! Then, Kelly Clarkson!"

I highly recommend satellite radio. I've had Sirius for a year and a half and it has been great. I think the only time I listen to terrestrial radio now is for local sports talk...and that's not often. After a road trip to Wisconsin, I made Tony a convert as well. Try Sirius online for free for three days and you'll be hooked.
