Maybe it's a homegrown response to the only other major music awards in town, but area fans may be cheered to hear that KDHX and Playback:STL are teaming up to produce The St. Louis Music Awards, to be handed out later this spring.

A quick check of the KDHX page devoted to the awards shows 30 categories (including "noise" and "producer--hip hop"), with instructions to nominate up to five of your faves in each category...but then no real clear explanation of how to do that? Once the kinks get worked out, we bet it'll be a hotly contested undertaking, with all those music geeks at both the radio station and the magazines joining forces.

UPDATE: new information on the awards: "awards ceremony will be held on May 2 at Mississippi Nights with live performances from local talent."
