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
Cnet reports today that as fast as Led Zeppelin fans posted their cell phone videos to YouTube the band’s label, Warner Bros Records, demanded that they be removed. These kind of actions by any record label or band management borders on the absurd these days. No further comment required. The New York Times’ Ben Ratliff was in London to review the show.

December 13th, 2007 at 2:28 pm@billy, well they didn’t technically approach YouTube themselves but their proxy did – from the link you posted – “Rather, it was a company called GrayZone, which has been authorized to issue takedown notices on behalf of Warner.”
