A total of seven of the fourteen songs come from the album I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning , released in early 2005 . Older studio albums only contain "Method Acting" from the 2002 Lifted ... and "Scale" (actually "A Scale, a Mirror, and These Indifferent Clocks" ) from the 2000 album Fevers and Mirrors . All other songs have not appeared on any regular album; they are either cover versions ( “Mushaboom” and “The Biggest Lie” ), B-sides of singles (for example “True Blue” ) or as download-only single ( “When the President Talks to God” ).

It is noteworthy that the song Motion Sickness (a song by Bright Eyes released as a limited vinyl single in 2000) is not included on the album.
