The Ho Media Awards Nominations
or Bring It On Down

The first thing you'll probably notice is that this year's awards are a little different - more general, in fact. As promised last year, the award pool has been widened to include more forms of media than just music. The best books, websites, movies, and music of the year will all be presented to you during the first week of January. But before we get there, we need to announce the nominations. Yes, "we." This year, I'm pleased to be bringing another creative force to the brain-pool that analyzes the past year's achievements: my wonderful wife. So without further ado, we give you the cream of the crop for 2006.
