Notes

* "Bobby Peru" is named after an eccentric, overtly creepy character played by Willem Dafoe in the David Lynch film "Wild at Heart".
* Wareham read the phrase "Fuzzy Wuzzy" in a Don DeLillo book. [http://www.stylusmagazine.com/articles/interview/dean-wareham-of-luna.htm]
* Wareham said that "The Creeps" isn't terribly good and probably should have been left off the album. [http://www.splendidezine.com/features/luna2]
* The band's record company decided to use the song "IHOP" as the basis for a promotional gimmick wherein contestants could win dinner with the band at the titular restaurant. Wareham said that his omelette was awful. [http://www.willametteweek.com/html/sunnyside092497.html]
