[5][6][7][8] Vocalist Jonah Matranga commented on the recording:[9] "[Producer Jim Scott] was friends with everyone, and the studio was buzzing all the time.

Mick Jagger walked through the vocal booth.

Jimmy Eat World was recording there, Liz Phair was doing a guest vocal with them, Jon Brion was walking around the hallways.

We were looking for a new drummer while we were recording, and Dave Krusen came in to try out.
