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

Keep politics in music, there is much at stake.
Happy New Year

K last gripe on it, when the people directly responsible for devaluation of music, dictate who is best at it, quality is unimportant
Everything’s amazing and nobody’s happy @roychristopher

It’s always fun to think back over the year, and this time even a decade, to see what was up. As always there are umpteen hundreds of lists out there, the most proliferate being music and the “Best albums of 2010..” Landscape and memory, nostalgia and nuance, we want to remember and we want to [...]
I launched a new website this week. It’s not that I won’t be posting here, it’s an attempt to get all of the last decade’s worth of my web writings in one place. It’s also a place for me to expand on my ideas around my work in digital strategy: a place to write longer [...]
There’s a concentrated wealth of indie music being exported from Scandinavia. Have you noticed? The countries of Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Iceland and Finland are heavy with nuanced melodies that have a tendency to sweep the listener into a tidal wave of memories and epiphanies. You can hear this “Scandinavian sound” in the music and showmanship [...]
