The owner of the truck, John Culmer, a third-generation Bahamian fisherman and occasional provider of conch for the nearby SLS Baha Mar hotel, gutted and cleaned two conchs in front of me, pointing out the genitals of the male and female, and showed how the pistol was actually a clear, rubbery tube called the crystalline style, which helps conchs break down the algae they eat.

It takes a found episode of a Charlie Rose television talk show and digitally replaces the guest with a charcoal-colored being whose head looks like a conch shell; the alien has arrogantly propped a leg up on Rose's table and is mouthing the lyrics to the Wolf Eyes song, with its steady, menacing beat, if that thing toward the bottom of the being's head is called a mouth.
