The album was recorded as a live session for the final episode of CBC Stereo's late night music program Night Lines, hosted by David Wisdom.

It is a largely tossed-off and improvised affair, showing the band indulging their silly sides.

It is an enjoyable diversion for fans, but even the band acknowledges that casual listeners will likely find it weird and unlistenable.

One song from the session, "Stolen Car", had appeared on an earlier Rheostatics album (1997's Double Live).

Another song, "The Junction Foil Ball", was rerecorded for the later Night of the Shooting Stars.
