CRAZY LOVE: "'If It Isn't Me' is about a boyfriend I had in high school," Dalia says. "He had [a] picket-fence image of us spending the rest of our lives together. He had everything figured out, except he didn't bother to include me in his plans. He just figured it out for us. It didn't matter who the girl was, that's just what he wanted.”

NAME CHECK: "We started calling ourselves The Chris and Joylene Show because we wanted to be in charge," Ehrich says. "We found a couple people that really got what we were doing and decided we wanted to be a band. Besides, The Chris and Joylene Show made us sound like a Vegas revue. The Honest Mistakes was the name we hated least."
