Pretty darn thrilled to have my (tournament-winning! I couldn't believe it!) March Danceness essay from last year about Amerie's "1 Thing" in this forthcoming @marchxness.bsky.social edited @splitlippress.com anthology!

So incredibly stoked that this is happening, and that the very first @marchxness.bsky.social essay I wrote (about the Creatures & Virginia Woolf & menstrual blood & nu-metal, among other things) will be in it alongside so many faves! Coming March 2026!

My essay on Sugar Hill Gang's "Rapper's Delight" for @marchxness.bsky.social 2023 Fadness tourney didn't make it out of the first round, so it fills me with vengeful joy to announce that it did make the cut for HIT REPEAT UNTIL I HATE MUSIC!

Nuthin' says March 1 like the kickoff of an Xness enterprise! And this is the best anthology title ever. Give @marchxness.bsky.social a follow to join in on all the music writing chatter!

Biased past participant speaking: @marchxness.bsky.social is a great way to connect with authors whose works you're gonna end up reading anyway; this "merely" serves as an excellent primer of the project. Congrats to the Committee!

SO EXCITED to finally share this news! Thank you to Split/Lip Press and to every single one of our essayists over the years - I'm just sorry that one anthology wasn't big enough to include all of the amazing writing March Xness has inspired!

Xness has been my actual March lifeline for 8 years; I call it Essayist Christmas because every morning is stuffed with literary gifts from writers I love (and come to love!) about songs I love (and...sometimes come to love). SO FUCKIN HYPED to be part of bringing the anthology into print!!!
