Tim Hinely’s long-running and still cool zine _Dagger_ was cool enough to give us some time, talking to Dromedary about the old days of indie rock, our reasons for re-launching the label, some of the changes in indie rock over the years, and our plans for the future.

This week also saw the release of the first single from the Mommyheads’ forthcoming CD _Finest Specimens_ – a “Best of the Mommyheads” sort of compilation. The first single is a stunning live version of the classic “Needmore, PA” that was recorded live in Stockholm this past May.

The release party for the _Finest Specimens_ CD will be at our favorite place on earth: Maxwell’s, in Hoboken, on October 22. This is right in the middle of the _CMJ Music Marathon_, and CMJ badges will be honored at the show. This is a Dromedary Records showcase, so we’ll be announcing other fantastic guests shortly – for now, though, you can trust that there won’t be a better bill anywhere in the NYC area.
