My guest on this episode is artist manager Zack Zarrillo. Zack is co-founder of Alternate Side, a full-service music company that represents over 30 artists in the alternative/rock/pop/electronic/metal genres. He also co-founded Bad Timing Records, and he began writing his popular music blog "PropertyOfZack" when he was just 16 years old. The blog became a go-to source for music fans and industry insiders alike. Zack's Alternate Side management has a combined catalog of over 5 Billion streams, 10 gold records, and 4 platinum records. He's also is a fierce advocate for artists' rights, which is the ethos of his company, and offers mentorship and assistance in music ownership, career development, finances and mental health. During the interview we spoke about how management has changed over the last few years, where he finds talent, how TikTok has benefited his artists, the reason why labels today aren't signing artists, the current trends in the business, and much more. I spoke with Zack via Zoom from his office in Philadelphia. On the intro I'll take a look at how we're all paying too much for concert tickets, and Spotify and YouTube Music are raising their subscription prices. var podscribeEmbedVars = { epId: 86981157, backgroundColor: 'white', font: undefined, fontColor: undefined, speakerFontColor: undefined, height: '600px', showEditButton: false, showSpeakers: true, showTimestamps: true };

This week's episode covers three main topics: Apple Music, Thomas's new bi-weekly series on starting a record label, and us hiring some new staff on the website. We spend the good majority talking about what we think of Apple Music, where we think it'll be successful, where we think it'll fail, what we think of the presentation, what we hope for the future, and the re-birth of Ping. The other good chunk is about Bad Timing Records and what it's like to start a record label and how being a record label in 2015 compares to past generations. All-in-all this was a really fun episode to record and we think it turned out pretty great.

On this episode of INSIDE MUSIC, host James Shotwell calls Sudden Suspension vocalist Brandon Stasi to discuss his band's promising and fast-moving career in music. Sudden Suspension recently announced their decision to sign with Bad Timing Records, and James asks Brandon a number of questions related to the band's decision to sign, as well as what they have planned in the months and years ahead. If you love pop punk, or if you just want to learn a bit about how a label can impact a band life in a positive way, make sure not to miss this conversation.
On this episode of INSIDE MUSIC, PropertyOfZack founder Zack Zarrillo stops by to discuss the latest developments in his professional life. Zack has appeared on the show before, but since that time he has made the incredible (and possibly insane) decision to reboot his beloved music blog, which gave us the perfect excuse to chat once more. He also shares insight on the money side of blogging, as well as his plans for Bad Timing Records in 2015. All in all, it's a big chat, but also one of our favorites to date.
On this episode of INSIDE MUSIC, host James Shotwell chats with Thomas Nasiff, co-founder of Bad Timing Records. Thomas and James have known one another through their work as music bloggers, but this is the first time the two of them have shared a real conversation. They discuss Thomas' early life in Florida, his decision to launch Bad Timing, the bromance he shares with Zack Zarrillo, and a whole lot more. This is a must-hear podcast for anyone interested in working in music, and especially those who hope to one day launch a record label.
Zack Zarrillo (PropertyOfZack, Bad Timing Records, Off The Record podcast) is on the show this week, and he's talking about blink-182's 2003 untitled album. We discuss the effect music can have on you at different developmental stages, and discover that we both own the Tom Delonge Fender Stratocaster. What we don't touch on, is Scott Raynor/Travis Barker, which usually comes up when people discuss blink-182... it's probably because I'm a decade older than Zack.
