Curators face the same challenges artists do - getting discovered, building a reachable audience and earning a living. Independent music playlisters might have playlists with hundreds of thousands of followers, but no tools to reach those listeners, know who they are or attribute streams from their playlists.

anger mobilizes - it can provoke short-term action, like attending a protest or signing a petition. But hope organizes. If we want to build lasting movements that transform attitudes, behaviors, and culture (ABC strategy!), we need to organize around a shared goal.

Each new microgenre is basically just another way to find a path through music’s capitalism.

I hope the Next Big Thing in technology is naps, so that we just start shoving naps into everything, absolutely everything.
