References to other media
- The album name is a reference to the "Further Adventures of Jimmy and Wes."
- "Civilization Day" samples The Firesign Theatre's album "Everything You Know Is Wrong."
- "Tomorrow Never Knows" is also the name of the last song on the album "Revolver" from 1966 by The Beatles.
- Frank Zappa's first album Freak Out! and the late J Dilla, are featured with the speech bubble containing the words 'Freak Out!' in the lower right corner of the album cover (this also appeared on the Freak Out! album cover).
- Madlib mentions the Treat Your Mother Right music video by Mr. T
- Lastly, the cover art makes several references to the 1973 movie, Fantastic Planet, which is also Madlib's source of inspiration for Quasimoto's appearance.
