"Walking With A Ghost" was mashed-up with a song by Mylo, "Paris Four Hundred" in a dance remix bootleg by Party Ben under the title "Walking With A Ghost In Paris". It became a sought after club track after an influential dance radio station in America, C-89.5/KNHC/Seattle, Washington, started playing it.
Matt Sharp of The Rentals played moog synthesizer on their song, "So Jealous.”
Sara's songs evolve slowly and methodically, and most of them end up on the record.
Both twins are involved in vocals and instrument playing, but the singing of the lead melody is often done by whichever twin wrote the particular song.
The twins like to tell comic stories when performing on stage - a throwback to when they didn't have much material but still wanted to give people a full show.
At the start of their musical careers, they were known as Sara and Tegan, but they decided to change it to Tegan and Sara, since Tegan is a more unusual name and they wanted to avoid confusion with several other Canadian singers named Sara or Sarah, such as Sarah Harmer and Sarah Slean, who were popular at the time.
