Funny or Die and the old white guy. A message from Paris.
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

Smart and funny…and quite the surprise. (not sure about the shoes, though…)
August 7th, 2008 at 2:58 amI still scratch my head why Paris is considered a celebrity. Celebutard does come to mind though. Two thumbs up for the hybrid energy policy initiative she reads from the cue cards.
August 7th, 2008 at 5:41 amof COURSE it was cue cards…Some of those words had more than two syllables! The only reason she can even PRONOUNCE them is because they were spelled foan-et-ik–all-eeee.
August 7th, 2008 at 6:02 amI thought this was very clever and hilarious. I have to say it also gave me pause because it’s so easy to hate on Paris and assume she is just a twiddley-twat know-nothing. Somehow this little bit of pop-culture initiative on her part gives me a bit of grudging respect for her.
August 7th, 2008 at 8:43 ampop-culture initiative? I think you’re giving her too much credit, this wreaks of her agent’s PR know-how. It sounds like the folks at Funny Or Die approached her with the idea first so I doubt it’s a remotely original thought on her behalf.
August 7th, 2008 at 11:17 amI concur completely with j kent’s comments. Imho, it reeks of a seize the moment attempt to grab (and control) some positive / hip publicity rather than the more typical media coverage of her sans-panties crotch shots climbing out of cars clubbing with Britney, et al or semi-private(?) sex tapes, or bumbling her favorite story from reading the Bible while she did her jail stint, or, or, or… ;-]
