13 Unlucky Numbers included the single "California", whose music video was later called "infamous" by NME[1] and has been included on Artforum's website.[2] The video depicted a man on fire running in slow motion, and was quickly banned from daytime airplay on MTV. It was included on a retrospective DVD of the director, Spike Jonze, where a still from the video was also shown on the cover of the collection.[3] The video was also included in an episode of MTV's Beavis and Butt-head. The song became a moderate hit on American rock radio, reaching No. 28 on the Billboard Modern Rock charts in 1995.[4]
"Hush" from the album What Else Can We Do was cited as an influence by Rivers Cuomo for the Weezer song "Say It Ain't So".[5]
