This is a march-madness style voting bracket for March Danceness, an essay contest where essayists write about dance hits from 2000-2009, and readers can vote on the essay/song/video or any combination. This bracket shows FATBOY SLIM's "WEAPON OF CHOICE" winning the contest.

Meanwhile, back at my @marchxness.bsky.social
bracket... stayin' alive but failin' to thrive Good luck in round 2 everybody!!! Vote without rhythm? then you'll never learn!!! #fatboyslim #marchdanceness

3/8, 1st Round: (3) Outkast vs (14) Amerie — March Danceness

This Robert Puccinelli essay on OutKast's work is a stroll filled with landmarks of beauty + intellect. RP is an amiable eyewitness to HEY YA's debut. Spun up with Kate Bush, Buzzcocks, Knuckles, and a spyglass full of yes. A joy to read. Great song pairing by the #marchdanceness committee!

Read! Vote! Shake it like a Polaroid picture! 💃 #marchdanceness

F was not impressed by "the song about underpants" in this round, sorry Sisquo #marchxness #marchdanceness

I am of course reading all of the essays as well, but it's pretty fun letting my six year old determine the better song for dancing. So far we have almost always agreed. #marchxness #marchdanceness

In the contest of Gnarls Barkley "Crazy" vs the cha cha slide, there was no contest as F got up and literally danced around the living room the entire time to the cha cha slide #marchxness #marchdanceness

3/3, 1st Round: (1) Kylie Minogue vs (16) Yelle — March Danceness

I wrote about #KylieMinogue and her ineffable charm, why marriage is a “mind-deadening drudge” and the catchiest song of the ‘00s for @marchxness.bsky.social, please read and vote! #marchdanceness marchxness.com/1strd-kyliev...

An awesome start to #MarchDanceness! Almost swayed by essay and song alike, but I voted with my bracket: Britney, Robbie, Robyn, The Knife. Cheers!

Uncle Sam (an older man with white hair and a white beard, wearing a blue and white top hat decorated with stars and an old-timey blue jacket, white shirt, and red bow tie) points at the viewer over text that says, "I want YOU to vote for my essay about the Matt & Kim song 'It's A Fact (Printed Stained)'"
