There is a hidden track, "House of Leaves", located at exactly 8:45, after the silence that follows "Meet Me in Montauk". It is named after House of Leaves, a book by Mark Z. Danielewski. The song is said to be in the perspective of the main character in the novel, Johnny Truant. The hidden track can also be played backwards which reveals a whole new song, that includes the introduction to "Holding Someone's Hair Back".^{[citation needed]}

The song "Stop the Fuckin' Car" had its name censored to "Stop the Car" on the track listing on the back of the CD case. However, it is listed as "Stop the Fuckin' Car" on the booklet inside the case.

"Suspending Disbelief", from The Inuit Sessions, was originally intended to be on Juturna.

Allusions

• Several songs on the album were inspired by the movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. "Oh Hello" and "In Fear and Faith" detail scenes from the film. "Meet Me in Montauk" is a reference to a line from the movie, as well as a line from a writing by Alexander Pope, for which the movie was named. The title "Wish Resign" is also an allusion to the same Pope quotation seen in the film.
• "The Glorious Nosebleed" is a short story by Edward Gorey.
