		<description><![CDATA[With SXSW in full swing, we thought it might be interesting to present the festival experience of someone who’s there as an insider. And to offer that perspective, I naturally turned to fest vet and (in the spirit of full disclosure) personal friend Thaddeus Rudd. He&#8217;s the general manager of the indie label Mom + Pop Music, whose roster includes Sleigh Bells, Andrew Bird, Metric, Ingrid Michaelson, and Poliça. He graciously took time from his busy schedule to talk about topics ranging from the festival’s ever-widening scope to advice for SXSW newbies… TIME: So what does a general manager do? Thaddeus Rudd: I do a little of everything to help keep the label running successfully. I work closely with our president, Michael Goldstone, who co-founded the label. We all work as a team, and I try to be helpful wherever I can, but my core responsibilities include legal, business and international, as well as creative and marketing on certain projects. A question I’m sure you get asked a lot: How did you get into music industry? I went to college in Chicago for what I thought would amount to working in the art business. I discovered that as much as I liked writing about paintings, I liked going to see bands play more! While at school, I started a little magazine, which then began promoting concerts. I was offered a job by Virgin Records in their marketing department, and couldn’t pass it up. I moved to directly to L.A. after graduation. How many years have you been attending SXSW? I’ve been going to SXSW every year since my early days running an indie label, Sugar Free Records, out of my house in the late ‘90s; continuing through the next decade where I worked as a manager. I think I missed only one year from ’98 to present. Any particularly memorable moments you want to share?  My favorite moments date back to my first years, where Sugar Free helped throw what were then seminal day parties, at places like Yard Dog<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=entertainment.time.com&#038;blog=24659518&#038;post=3533961&#038;subd=timeentertainment&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
