For my birthday my mom got me a CD alarm clock, which I sorely needed. The alarm clock I had was probably at least 15 years old, and would make a nice loud pop when the radio alarm would turn out that basically sounded like a small gun going off in the room… not the most peaceful way to wake up. So, all eager to try out the CD function, I put in one of my favorite Yo La Tengo discs last night. Problem is, you can’t pick which track it starts with; it just goes from the beginning. I have to say that waking up to this song is probably not not the most motivational way to get out of bed.
