Alarm clocks and synthetic-sounding songs

We're sitting around the breakfast table, listening to 102.7 KIIS FM LOS ANGELES online and complaining about the proliferation of synthesized vocals in today's popular music.
I can't wait for that fad to come to its conclusion.

The computer-aided vocals might make it easier to craft catchy songs, but the synthetic nature of the sound seems too far removed from music's roots for its own good.

It's like the difference between artificial sweeteners and sugar.
Here's something I do love: Waking up in the early morning hours, glancing at the ALARM CLOCK and realizing you still have an hour or more to sleep.
Rolling over after that realization is pure bliss. Unlike all of these fake-sounding songs.
