Pampelmoose is a music and MP3 web site covering the eclectic independent music scene. We stay clear of major labels and their artists to avoid having the Web Sheriff gallop through our offices. We are indie at heart so we support all things indie – in all its shapes and forms.
Dave walloped the bass strings and is a founding member of the highly influential, post-punk band, Gang of Four. With his business partner, Ned Failing, he started Pampelmoose in 2005. We love music and we love the way the internet leveled the playing field for all artists.
Josh Kneedler is a highly experienced interactive designer. He began working in online media in 1997 at the birth of the interactive world, a world we now take for granted, one that has become as common as the utilities we use at home. His skills consist of design, programming, and creative direction. It’s an eclectic mix, but one that is vital to pursuing new ventures where traditional broadcast media rules do not apply. Josh understands that music artists no longer need traditional record labels. A consumer in Japan may never have heard of our local Northwest music scene so local bands need a different way to promote their independently produced CDs. Josh has the necessary skills and experience that highlight innovation over imitation to tackle contemporary challenges in the world of interactive programming, design and creative marketing. Some of Josh’s work can be seen on his web site: http://www.joshkneedler.net
New ipod touch and iphones will now have wifi itunes. My utopian dream of previewing and purchasing music in a coffee shop has come true.
Speaking of coffee shops they also announced a new caffeinated feature. If you are in a Starbucks, you can hit a Starbucks button that will tell you what song is playing in the Starbucks. Neato I guess, but fairly underwhelming.
Catch up on the full apple announcement here

ok…I think I clicked refresh on the live blog about a couple hundred times, expecting something crazy. I wasnt necessarily unimpressed. I thought it was interesting how big of a player Starbucks thinks they will be with their strategic partnership with Apple. I like it when huge ass companies have so much money to try something new whether they know if it will work or not. I think the itouch rocks too. Unfortunately my free time doesnt involve an itouch just an iremodel.
September 5th, 2007 at 11:54 amI think the seamless integration of buying coffee and buying music says it all. Pity it’s Starbucks though, shitty coffee.. Glad I didn’t buy the iPhone now as I can keep the Blackberry and add iPod Touch for better web browsing and email if I need it..
September 5th, 2007 at 12:58 pmi’m assuming you can purchase songs through any wifi connection. the only nifty thing at starbucks is purchasing what is playing at the physical location…..unless i’m missing something.
September 5th, 2007 at 1:02 pmI think Starbucks content is exclusive to its retail locations wi-fi…from what I was told. which makes some sense.
September 5th, 2007 at 1:23 pmI don’t care. I want an iPod Touch….mmmm touchy, touchy.

September 5th, 2007 at 1:50 pmyou guys are on crack!
September 5th, 2007 at 1:54 pmnah, natural fan boy high. even worse.
September 5th, 2007 at 9:46 pmdoes this mean that all those starbucks cd kiosks, stocked with zero7, count basie, and kt tunstall, will be replaced by a wifi store that has nothing but zero7, count basie, and kt tunstall? And when the holidays roll around, you know that they will still have that charlie brown christmas cd priced to move at $25.
