Carl Gellert was paid $6000 dollars to appear on the album. He is now entering grad school for art history.
"Apparently, some people in this band are Paramore fans. I ordered their t-shirt via twitter cause we’ve never been to Jakarta and I wanted them to know that we haven’t forgotten about them over there in Indonesia. Plus, this shirt is sick! Jakarta Hardcore… I’d love to see it happen live"
[EDIT:] "Been talking to some Indonesia fans over twitter who have educated me on the difference between cities: Jakarta and Yogyakarta.Haha, I need to go back to school. Geography was never my strongest subject. Either way, we are really grateful to have fans as far as Indonesia who support us the way they do".

"Rupanya, beberapa orang di band ini adalah Fans Paramore. Aku memesan t-shirt mereka melalui twitter karena kita belum pernah ke Jakarta dan saya ingin mereka tahu bahwa kita tidak lupa tentang mereka di sana di Indonesia. Plus, "this tshirt is sick !" Jakarta Hardcore … aku ingin melihat itu benar benar terjadi di jakarta"
[EDIT:] "Setelah berbicara dengan beberapa fans Indonesia melalui twitter yang telah mendidik aku pada perbedaan antara kota-kota: Jakarta dan Yogyakarta.Haha, saya harus kembali ke sekolah. Saya lemah dalam pelajaran geografi. Kami sangat bersyukur memiliki penggemar sejauh Indonesia yang mendukung kami seperti yang mereka lakukan"
FYI: Troughout is a Hardcore band from Yogyakarta, Indonesia
Although highly detailed, these props were usually designed to be photographed from one specific angle hiding the mess of construction seen from the other side. Mueck increasingly wanted to produce realistic sculptures which looked perfect from all angles.
In 1996 Mueck transitioned to fine art, collaborating with his mother-in-law, Paula Rego, to produce small figures as part of a tableau she was showing at the Hayward Gallery. Rego introduced him to Charles Saatchi who was immediately impressed and started to collect and commission work.
This led to the piece which made Mueck’s name, Dead Dad, being included in the Sensation show at the Royal Academy the following year. Dead Dad is a rather haunting silicone and mixed media sculpture of the corpse of Mueck’s father reduced to about two thirds of its natural scale. It is the only work of Mueck’s that uses his own hair for the finished product.
Mueck’s sculptures faithfully reproduce the minute detail of the human body, but play with scale to produce disconcertingly jarring visual images. His five metre high sculpture Boy 1999 was a feature in the Millennium Dome and later exhibited in the Venice Biennale.
In 2002 his sculpture Pregnant Woman was purchased by the National Gallery of Australia for $800,000.
