Ok, so I really dont have any, but just in the last few days I found out that the talking and stuff in the background of LIOG is a recording of the band playing ping pong, and I also heard that Timmy pretty much did all the guitar work for UTTAD. So, who else has got little tid bits like this theyd like to share?

actually i believe it was her husband that murdered her in 1993, but i'm not positive on that one. UTTAD is dedicated to her.

Also, here's a segment of the interview from the Live At Luther College tab book (when he says "the last album" he is referring to BTCS):

Interviewer: Tim, did you play more acoustic or electric on the early band albums?

Reynolds: A lot of acoustic. I'd spend about two months playing acoustic and three days playing electric.

Matthews: It was us sitting next to each other, strumming madly. It was so much fun.

Reynolds: We sat in the studio just like this [moves chair right in front of Matthews] with a glass thing [between us], and that's how we did the whole first record. The band was all on the second floor.

Matthews: And then they'd inevitably turn his acoustic guitar way up and mine way down! That's [producer Steve] Lillywhite - I'm not saying whether he was right or wrong, but he'd say [affects British accent], "OK, let's turn David down and Timmy up" [Laughs]. I love how with the last album, he said, "David, you don't really feature on this album at all, but don't tell anyone." We'd learn it, we'd all play, and then he'd turn me down.

Interviewer: Were you playing the same parts?

Reynolds: On the first album we played the same part and then doubled it - like four acoustic guitars playing the same thing.

Matthews: And it made it sound really huge.

Reynolds: I would just overdub a little bit. I did more electric overdubs as the albums went on.

Matthews: The last one has a lot more production. We still recorded the rhythm section live - guitar, bass, and drums - but then much more stuff went on top. Oh, put Stick there, piano...it doesn't matter if they're not in the band. We had a lot of other people. and Tim taped his face up and played lots of electric overdubs [laughs].

Not only can you hear pingpong, but if you turn it up loud enough you can hear them all chatting to each other..

lol, whenever I'm playing the jam, i always have to put in that little "OH NO!" right in the middle of it.

I do also believe that Dave's dad was killed while Dave was young, got that off of Driven.
