I do something similar on my Boom in our study/kitchen area. It plays a playlist consisting of LBC news. Just before I leave, I press FWD to switch to local travel news. Sometimes I then go back to the news channel and sit around for half hour answering more forum posts before departing for a slow journey to work ;)
In the bedroom, I have configured my alarm to play a random track that is rated 4* or 5* in various genres that are generally loud music (so not classical, easy listening, etc), just before 7am, using a Dynamic Playlist configured to play SpiceCube. Then at 7am, it will play unrated tracks or tracks rated 4* or 5*, using SpiceCube. So I get a familiar loud song to wake me up, then I get songs I haven't yet rated that are similar to the preceeding song, occasionally playing my favourite songs. This works really well - I generally listen to a few songs and rate them, so there is a bigger pool to select from as the opening song the next morning.
