- (1/10) I’m excited to emerge from stealth after nine months of building in the shadows with five other people to say that we are designing a new product named Marine Snow 🦪❄.
00:00 - been thinking a lot about the concept of curatorial governance the easiest way for me to organize my thoughts was to write an essay mirror.xyz/0xb8B251e3d23d… thank you to @badboyboyce @gaby_goldberg @JoseRMejia @bwats & @aweissman for their help reviewing this essay
- a lot of people on twitter pontificating about culture have never worked in the industries they claim to know something about and do not have the respect of people in those fields
- Replying to @TooonyL(4/10) Music is so much about community, yet music streaming services today are commodities. We go to concerts to feel a sense of kinship with others, to affirm our identities, and witness moments of greatness, yet today’s music streaming services capture none of that magic 🎟.
- Replying to @TooonyL(2/10) Marine Snow is a vertical social network and music streaming platform for music connoisseurs that is designed to solve foundational flaws in music streaming today. Our goal is to be a delightful, digital oasis for inquisitive music lovers 👯.
- 3,726 words to stop the 19 month rattle of some specific thoughts in my brain a substack was made to house the infrequent rattles that reach a crescendo tl;dr: ai’s immediate second-order effects are not being sufficiently considered. we all should be thinking a lot more about

00:00 - We spoke with @TooonyL of the new project in development marine-snow.co discussing how human curation is essential for the support of challenging music and different ways to experiment with scarcity 🤝 interdependence.fm/episodes/human…
- Replying to @TooonyL(8/10) Listening to and finding new, important music in 2020 should be as fun as playing a video game, instead of mirroring the spreadsheet, iTunes UX from 2001. We want you to consume those strawberries while playing games with others on a digital picnic. Real utopia shit 🌈👼🏾.
- i woke up this morning and decided to become the kind of person who has a real bio on twitter realizing i have to play the game a tiny bit more let's see how long the bio lasts though
- Replying to @TooonyL(3/10) I’ve learned from my time working for Blonded, Spotify, SoundCloud, & Mixpak—plus helping to book Flying Lotus, Sleigh Bells, and many more in college—and I’m excited to use these accumulated specks of knowledge to help curious music consumers + avant-garde artists.
