[edit | edit source]
  • "Kisses Over Babylon" the music video appeared in 8th season of Beavis and Butthead in the episode "Bathroom Break".
  • "40 Day Dream" was featured in a promo for season 5 of Mad Men and season 3 episode 6 of Chuck in Chuck Versus the Nacho Sampler
  • "Janglin" was featured in a commercial for the 2011 Ford Fiesta.
  • "Brother" was named after Ebert's good friend and famed actor Heath Ledger, who died in 2008. Ebert said in an interview with the BuildSeriesNYC in early 2020 that he and Ledger, the night before Ledger's death, were talking about a movie script concept where they are brothers, and one of them dies, and the spirit is with the other. Ebert talked about being stunned the next morning to find out Ledger had died.
  • "Home" was featured in a commercial for the NFL that focused on many cities and their home fans. It was used in the 2014 movie The Book of Life,[9] in an episode of Community entitled "Debate 109", and in the season 1 finale of Raising Hope. "Home" was covered by the cast of Glee in the sixth-season episode "Homecoming". The commercial ubiquity of "Home" and other derivative pop folk songs eventually grew to frustrate Ebert.[10]
  • "Om Nashi Me" was featured in Andrew Reynold's part for the Emerica video "Stay Gold".
