Trivia

  • The bonus track, "Where We Breathe", was only put on the first pressing of the CD. It was a re-recorded version of the song that appeared on their debut EP, Broken Bones and Bloody Kisses.
  • The first track of the album, "I Got Punched In The Nose For Sticking My Face In Other People's Business", is taken from a quote in the film The Wedding Singer.
  • The title "The First Time It Shouldn't Taste Like Blood" is taken from a quote in the film Darkness Falls.
  • The title "It's Dylan, You Know the Drill" is taken from the show Beverly Hills, 90210. It was the message on Dylan's answering machine.
  • The title "Hold On Tightly, Let Go Lightly" is a direct quote from the film Croupier.

The cited quote from the film Croupier is no doubt a reference to a verse from Timothy Leary's Psychedelic Prayers:

VI.1 The Moment Of Fullness

Grab hold tightly Let go lightly

The full cup can take no more The candle burns down The taut bow must be loosed The razor edge can no long endure

Nor this moment re-lived

So now... Grab hold tightly So now... Let go lightly
