* WeUsedToBeFriends: As mentioned above, Andy Sturmer and Roger Manning had been friends since high school. When the band broke up, the two of them decided to go their separate ways and haven't spoken to each other since then.

* LastNoteNightmare: "Brighter Day", the last tune on ''Spilt Milk'', has a tuneful, circus-like atmosphere reminiscent of an oompah band, until [[spoiler: it breaks down into a Parisian-sounding, carousel-like melody on flutes, followed by accordions and strings, followed by a raucous, dissonant, nightmarish jumble of ringing telephones, crashing drums and cymbals, orchestral cacophony, and sound effects. It leads to an ominous high drone of arco strings ([[BookEnds similar to that which begins the album]]) and outdoor noises, like birds twittering, cars passing by, and dogs barking.]]

* BrokenPedestal: As they were beginning work on ''Spilt Milk'', Roger and Andy were paid a visit by Music/BrianWilson. The two undoubtedly would've loved to collaborate with one of their biggest influences, but Wilson was decidedly unimpressed with their retro style and vintage instruments, feeling that [[ItsBeenDone they were bringing nothing new to the table]]. The visit ended on an awkward note, with Andy and Roger being reluctant to discuss it since.
