Big March Second Chanceness 2025 moment last night; No Doubt opened their Coachella set with Hella Good. By all accounts they rocked the crowd & Gwen was climbing the risers. Glad to see the love they're getting on social media this morning.

The 2025 March Second Chanceness nomination form is now open. Songs/essays that lost in the first round of a previous tournament are eligible. We welcome nominations incl. self nominations, for the August lottery: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

This means 256 essays, exactly half of all March Xness previous tournament essays, are eligible. YOU GOT ROBBED. PROVE IT.

"I did all this believing sometimes in a dream that held a constructive future—a career, fame, at least stability—but mostly wishing only to make songs and hold the lingering hum quietly within me." Love this essay by Cameron Carr in Longreads: longreads.com/2024/06/18/wor…

Yoooooooo. Long time no hear from us but we have some good news to share shortly, including that we're doing the lottery at last for this year's tournament this coming week. So this is the last call for folks to nominate essays that lost in the 1st round (incl playins).

The upside of getting ousted in round 1 last year is that my essay is eligible for Second Chanceness in 2025! If you're feeling so inclined, read "Miasma" (link in comments) and nominate for the tourney below. Gimme another chance, baby!
