Reissue

In 2007 and 2008, Asian Man Records announced plans to reissue both of the band's albums on vinyl and CD. "Broken Star" had long since sold out on vinyl, while "Broken Van" had been CD-only; both had for some time been out of stock on CD.

Trivia

* The passage spoken by Chris at the close of "Upton" is an excerpt from Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children. [http://www.edurete.org/pd/sele_art.asp?ida=1730]
* Brendan Kelly has stated: "Larry Koesche is the manager of a grocery store who prevented some of us from getting food out of the dumpsters behind the store." This ties in with the song's theme of homelessness.
* During a live show [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgHK3P3zsv8] Brendan revealed that the "my friend" from "25 Degrees North" is the same one from the "Big City Life" / "Broken Van" song "I Think I Shall Never See..."
