Anyone had this problem?

My beloved 2003 Aero sedan had a dead battery this morning. Again.
Not just weak, but stone cold dead. The car has been parked in my garage since last weekend.
The battery is an Interstate Mega-tron something or other, less than a year old. I believe the problem is with the stereo and/or amp. I've discovered that the radio appears to be powering itself on even when the car is off & key removed. There is a distinct "buzzing" from the speakers that only goes away when pressing the on/off button on the radio. Recently, I was just sitting in the car looking up something in the manual and heard a static "pop" and the radio came on! Car hadn't been started & key wasn't even in the ignition! Weird.. I have checked the lock cylinder and it appears to be "popping up" each time the key is removed, but I'm still going to clean/lube it anyway. There are some similar posts in the archives, but not exactly like this.. Looks like I'll have to pull the radio fuse for awhile and see if the battery stops discharging. Curious if anyone has had a similar problem?
