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
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 or walk downtown. (at least not all the time anyway)
I wonder how many iphones have been snatched away from some unsuspecting spaced-out idrone and thrown like a brick against a wall or like an expensive pebble skipping into the river. I’m not saying I’d do that but…I’ve thought of it…maybe once…
also, did you know that I have witnessed an iphone miracle? no, it wasn’t someone’s cancer disappearing after being touched by an iphone (although I bet the reverse will eventually happen). this is even better: I and a couple peeps were driving late at night on the freeway between Salem and Portland. We stopped on the side of the road to pee and when we got back into the car and drove two miles down the road my idrone pal realized he had likely dropped his phone on the side of the road. and not just any phone. it was his iphone. on the side of the road. in the middle of the night! I found the next exit (some 3 miles ahead), drove back and looped around. after 15 minutes of driving slowly with the headlights aimed at the grass (whilst dialing his phone again and again) we found it, face down, in perfect shape. now THAT’S a miracle!
