The ballot (pdf) for the 2005 Minnesota Music Academy Awards is now available. Accusations have been flung around in recent years that the MMAs are out of touch on scale with the Grammys, but it looks like they’ve found an okay balance of mainstream and underground this year. Artist of the Year nominees: Desdamona, Heiruspecs, The Hopefuls, Low, and Mint Condition. New Group/Arist of the Year nominess: Belles of Skin City, The Deaths, Duplomacy, Chris Koza, and Thunder in the Valley.
