CD prints of the album contain several bonus tracks, most of which are demo versions and alternate takes of songs on the album. Early copies of the CD also included unique Polaroid photographs by Schwartzman.

An official music video has been made for "West Coast". It features skateboarding performances by Mark Gonzales in Germany.

The song "Summer Day" was featured on the Spider-Man 3 original soundtrack. The song "West Coast" can be heard in an episode of The OC and can be purchased in the official season four soundtrack. The song "West Coast" also appears in the movie Cloverfield, as well as on a promotional CD for the film entitled Rob's Party Mix. It is one of the many tracks played when the party takes place.
