| 1 | * BlackSheepHit: Tooth & Nail Records promoted "Ragtime" as a single from their first album, leading many to assume HRC was part of the 90's Swing revival. The actual album had, at most, two songs with rhythms conducive to swing dancing. |
| 2 | * CreatorBacklash: ''The Diamond in the Fish''. Tellingly, three songs from it appeared on their greatest hits album--and two of them were completely new versions of the songs, rather than the versions from ''Diamond''. |
| 3 | -->'''Matt Wignall:''' We were experimenting with idea of like playing jazz, which incidentally, we kinda sucked at. And found out why most of the time all good jazz players are over fifty, 'cause it takes that long to get good at it. |
| 4 | * DevelopmentHell: ''Pacific''. |
| 5 | * HalfRememberedHomage: ''Russian Lullabies'' (or at least, the songs Matt Wignall wrote for the album) was inspired by reading about Russian folk music, and purposely not listening to any. |
| 6 | * KeepCirculatingTheTapes: They encouraged it by making ''Russian Lullabies'' and ''We Remember Anarchy'' available as free downloads. |
| 7 | * RenamedToAvoidAssociation: They were initially named just Havalina, but expanded their name to avoid confusion with another California band, The Havalinas. Where things get funky is, years later HRC felt the need to change their name once more after several members departed, and they believed The Havalinas had disbanded by that point, so they felt it was safe to shorten their name to just Havalina again. Which just led to confusion a few years later when a completely unrelated Mexican band formed, also calling themselves Havalina. |
| 8 | * RereleasedForFree: The album ''Russian Lullabies'' went out of print, and the record label that published it went out of business. When fans clamored for a way to get the album, the band responded by putting it on their website as a free download. |
| 9 | * ScienceMarchesOn: Havalina was actually ahead of the curve. They wrote "Pluto" (featuring the chorus "Not quite a planet and not quite steam / Pluto's caught right in between") four years before its namesake was officially demoted to dwarf planet. |
| 10 | * TributeToFido: "Leica" is a tribute to Laika, the Russian dog who became the first animal in space. |
