Happy Nightmare Baby!
Opal went on to become Mazzy Star when David Roback replaced Kendra Smith with Hope Sandoval.
Random Historical Moment:
This album imparts the smell of cloves and pipe tobacco on my nose- probably because those were the things I messed with in high school. Do you remember the first time you crashed at a party? I do. Somebone blared this rekkid the morning after we woke from a raging happening. It was early June in Greenville, SC. The humidity and morning sun softened our complexion while we smoked j's on the stoop about 9am. I tell you, holmes, the memories that resonate within the sleeve of a record are vast. For this reason, I question the notion that our collections should pass. Besides, in 20 years I am not sure I will shuffle through my Ipod listening to the digital collection from my 30's. I need that tangible object to hold on to while I sit, look around and listen.

kudzu
A pretty common sight in rural South Carolina is kudzu. Kudzu provides a simple illustration of how temporary even the most industrious human civilization can be. Kudzu grows at such an enormous rate (1-2 ft/day) that it could become an entire wall or floor very quickly, and within the calender of a project.

Curatorial Statement as submitted
Practice of the Druggist- Ben DeMott and Eric Miller
Crane Arts, Project Space, March 1 – April 3, 2010
Ben DeMott and Eric Miller have developed an installation of abstract work that purveys their common and individual interests, as well as their relationship as friends and collaborators. Their formulary navigates through ancillary interests, commonality, brotherhood, and culture; then it develops into broader formats of accessibility and technology. This installation is manifested through a blog at http://practiceofthedruggist.blogspot.com over a 6 month period from August 2009 to February 2010.

cardinal in red
The aforementioned cardinal in red polychrome. Maybe color is in splashes or highlights, places of emphasis, or symbolic representation?
