"Little Girl", along with "Sexy Results", have also been remixed, and appear on their remix/b-side release,
Romance Bloody Romance. Vocalist and drummer
Sebastien Grainger gave the song "Black History Month" its title simply because it was written in February. According to a post made by bassist
Jesse F. Keeler on the band's forum, the song title "Sexy Results" is taken from
The Simpsons. The episode "
Pygmoelian" from the television series features the running line "...with sexy results". The album's name is a play on a quote in the mini-series pilot of the 2004 reboot of
Battlestar Galactica where
Caprica Six tells
Gaius Baltar "I'm a woman," to which he responds "You're a machine". The liner notes dedicate the album to "Zoé", Grainger's niece. She is also the subject of the song "Little Girl" off the album. ==Reception==
