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

Forget about the iPhone G3, this year’s gadget of the year is what I like to call the ‘scratchula‘. Not only does it’s metallic chrome flat surface flip burgers (or veggie burgers) like a normal spatula, it also has jagged sides for scratching and scraping the grill AND a lil’ slot for popping the [...]

“The tunes are a fresh-as-heck and high-pitched nod to classic Prince and Talking Heads.” – URB Magazine “Los Angeles’ Casxio has proven itself a little bit more than just the latest band to jump into the dance-music pool.” – LA Times. Anyway have a listen below and then you decide….if you like them there are [...]

Pong isn’t exactly hard core, but the social implications here could be fun. Imagine each “dot” as a song that you were able to flick over to your friend. Its time for all of us apple iDrones to engage in an actual form of social interaction. No more zoning out as we ride public transportation [...]
Thumbing through Justin Kent’s Flickr set of Tuesday night’s Jamie Lidell show, I can’t help but smile again. And again. Mr. Lidell does what very few artists are capable of doing: he creates and facilitates a righteous musical hootenanny wherever he goes. His brilliant nerdy-chic personality sets everyone at ease while motown-esque grooves get [...]
