*"Cupid's Chokehold" samples extensively from Supertramp's song "Breakfast in America".

*"Taxi Driver" is an homage to other contemporary bands in the indie rock and punk genres.

* "The Papercut Chronicles" version of the "Cupid's Chokehold" music video was directed by Andrew Paul Bowser who would later co-direct the "New Friend Request" video with Joseph M. Petrick for their album "As Cruel as School Children".
