[edit] Miscellanea

Ainjel performed all of the instrumentation for Long As Its Sweet.

Penny, Ainjel's cat, was found only a few days old and abandoned while recording this album at Perdenales Studios. As a young kitten, Penny slept in the box that used to house Ainjel's 8-track reel to reel machine. A line in "Cold Like Speech" references this.

The song Summerlife was featured in Todd Livingston's 2004 short film So You Downloaded A Demon.

Long As It's Sweet made it to the finals at Independent Artist Comapny's Indie Song of the Year contest (2005), but lost to a song by legendary Who guitarist Pete Townshend and his girlfriend, Rachel Fuller.

The song In Flames was featured on Desperate Hippies, a Desperate Housewives spoof which has been featured at the 2006 Tromanale Festival in Berlin and on MySpace.com.

Long As It's Sweet and In Flames will be featured in the 2007 film, Have Love Will Travel.
