The long awaited debut LP from NYC’s FLOWER “Hardly A Dream” is finally set to arrive.

FLOWER’s tedious approach to writing/creating/drawing their debut LP was carefully thought out and the result is a monumental anarcho punk /crust record.

“Hardly A Dream” Takes us on a bleak journey through the dark side of society. As soon as you drop the needle a dark atmosphere is immediately created with a slow intro featuring arpeggio guitar work that builds into pummeling d-beat crust. The albums vocals then leave you with a feeling of being crushed by the ever-present weight of living through our modern world of late stage capitalism that was built on the falsehoods of the so called American dream, religious hypocrisy’s, nationalism, and the greed of humankind.
FLOWER take many cues from predecessors and are most often (and rightfully so) compared to NAUSEA but they also take a heavy influence from ANTISECT, SACRILEGE & other greats. The artwork has a very RUDIMENTARY PENI feel and the record comes with an amazing 24.5 X 34.75 CRASS style poster jacket. All art work was meticulously hand drawn and overseen by the guitarist Willow in true DIY style and spirit. Willow was also cool enough to draw up a special shirt for the record release featuring an alternative PROFANE EXISTENCE backprint!

Hey there buddy! Yeah, keep it up. feel free to hit me up at http://www.idioteq.com@gmail.com if you’re interested in doing an interview on that for IDIOTEQ.com webzine. Cheers!
I agree with you but those prices listed are a bit misleading. You’re only getting those prices if you’re buying CME or ICE futures contracts. 1 contract is 37,500 lbs Arabica coffee and there’s a minimum of 100 contracts for a single trade minimum buying level to be 3,750,000 lbs of coffee(?). That’s something Starbucks/Dunkin Donuts can handle but by the time your local coffee house is buying, you’ve got to add on shipping, packaging, wholesale risk, more shipping, more wholesale risk, etc. It’s in the multiples more for them. Using the over-the-counter numbers above, Free Trade coffee is 20% more and organic is 45% more. Also, the cost of living for the farmers in the growing areas is minimal, so I wouldn’t doubt if only a couple a dollars a day, would vastly improve their quality of life.
You bring up very good points, but I wasn’t going to get into other cost factors yet. I just wanted to address the C Market specifically as it was on my mind this morning. I’d definitely like this to be an ongoing discussion, though.
life’s black blood! give us the BEAN!
