Trivia
The main difference between Being Ridden and BR Instrumentals, except for the duct tape covering Kidwell's mouth, is the track listing. Every track from BR Instrumentals is featured on Being Ridden except My Hands Switched With Mannequin Hands, Bad Girls and M Ren Dvine. These tracks only appear on Being Ridden and are replaced by Stamina, Outher Countries and Nevermind. It is also interesting to note that the three songs are on track 7, 10 and 13 on both albums.
An instrumental version of Stamina appears on the Venetian Snares album 2370894.
