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

After taking over the playlist at an afterparty the other night in an attempt to dance-it up a bit more, I cued up Franz Ferdinand‘s latest single “Ulysses,” expecting its disco-fied decadence to go down a storm. It did, but only so much. See I’d forgotten that its verses don’t only [...]
The Boxing Lesson – Dark Side of the Moog from Eric Power on Vimeo.
Well, the ante has officially been upped for rotoscoped music videos. This clip for Ladyhawke‘s “My Delirium” makes Kanye West’s video for “Heartless” look like child’s play. “My Delirium” starts out innocently enough with shots of Miss Pip Brown moping around a motel room in live action before her storyline goes on to play out [...]
Hot Chip have brought us all a small Christmas gift in the shape of two MP3s. And the greatest gift is that Robert Wyatt is on these recordings. The man is a legend and I encourage you to follow the wikipedia link to discover what an influence he has been. He was part of England’s [...]

This is the Pampelmoose edition of the New Music Hour on Portland’s 94.7FM. I’m almost upon the final show of the year and it’s time to reflect back over the few months I’ve been able to be on air playing the best of the bunch from my inbox – music sent in by publicists, [...]

First Muxtape Dies, Now Mixwit

Now, one of Muxtape’s successors, a site named Mixwit, has announced that [...]
