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

This is such an awesome post from Maura Johnston that I had to post it in it’s entirety. You should read this blog, always.
This stupid “Beyoncé’s videos blocked by her label” story, and why BoingBoing should just say “Wahh, we hate the music business” and be done with it.
And once again, I seriously wish that [...]

This video is only 1min 49 secs long and worth your time, especially if you’re a musician who thinks downloading of music should be banned. Get Hugh’s new album for free here.
Quote from Hugh – “those who admitted to “illegal” downloading of music, spent nearly double on legitimate music sales [...]

This one’s a challenge. Mark Fisher has an essay in the New Statesman titled Militant Tendencies Feed Music. It felt weird to come across it and yet also, no surprise that it didn’t appear in Spin Magazine either. I have long given up hope that today’s rock musicians will deliver a solid and passionate [...]
