About Pampelmoose
-
Dave Allen, co-founder, president
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, co-founder and author
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

Professor: Hey, I thought of some interesting things to say!
Student: Nice!
Professor: It took me all day.
Student: What’s your point?
Professor: That’ll be $50,000
I think Professor Rosen’s is a weak (if amusing) analogy. There is nothing you can learn from him that you can’t learn online for free. But students still pay $200,000 to be able to attend his class. For the same reason, I believe one shouldn’t be unwilling to pay a couple dollars for better, reliable journalism, either (particularly when it comes to news). Sometimes “free” is great, sometimes you get what you pay for.
