The Economy (Taylor's Version)

Justin Paul helped contribute research and a quote about Taylor's remarkable and unprecedented merchandise sales before, during, and after her concerts. Article by Rachel Lerman and her colleagues (Abha Bhattarai & Emily Sabens)
"At the venues, merch lines were long — inside and at trucks parked outside.
Justin Paul, a DJ, producer, and creative director who teaches music business courses at UCLAx, came up with a conservative estimate — $864,000 for each show — for Swift’s merch sales inside venues by using the number of people at each show and an average of how much concertgoers typically spend on merch. Still, Swift is a special case." Washington Post

Post Punk Feature: Electro Artist THE MODEL Combine Sound and (Void) Vision for a Late Night Remix of “Little Dreams”

Philadelphia has always been a haven for some of the scene’s more salacious, under-the-radar projects. In 1997, The Model formed, tapping into the undersung electronics scene that was just churning underneath the surface, ready to explode just a few short years later. Combining the dark electronic experimentation of The Human League with the swagger of vocalists such as Michael Hutchence and Dave Gahan, the band gained momentum and released two albums, with mainstay Markie producing and playing with New York’s Class Actress . However, The Model never fully disappeared, with new singles appearing in more recent years. The latest, 2022’s “Little Dreams” was as addictive and masterful as anything that came before, and we’re honored to share the video of a remix of the track by Void Vision, who has been a champion of the minimal electronic scene since 2009.

“Music is my life, and this business chooses me. More importantly, music brings joy and entertainment to people around the world.”
– Voyage LA

“A music career is a marathon, not a sprint. Understand there are waves of success with dips and plateaus. Figure out a way to push through the dips by reinventing, pivoting, and just keep going. Understand what worked for you in the past may not work for you in the future. The methods that got you where you are, but they may not take you to where you want to be.”
- Prosperi Press

“I believe that, whether we had COVID or not, we are in a time where the music business is a bullet train: people are forever going to have new things to learn and new ways to update their skills. Artists are going to have to be more flexible than ever before.”
