I got hacked y'all

Should be OK now though. If you see anything broken or funny happening, do let me know. Ooh scary..

In other news, nialler9 was longlisted for Best Blog, Best Music Blog, Best Designed Blog and Best Post (two entries).

Unfortunately, one of the best posts was the only overtly negative thing I’ve written all year though I’d imagine it was nominated for the accompanying furore it produced. Maybe the award will be sponsored by Nokia? The other post was our December podcast which culled from the top voted Irish EP poll.

Congrats to Aoife and all the other bloggers too. Plenty to check out in those lists kids.
