I'm a samples fan too. I have that CD in fact.  I saw them play here at a
local bar a couple years ago.  They had just gotten back from a europe tour,
I think.  Anyhow, they weren't very up-beat, I must say. Kinda sad even.

Right on!  The Samples are a Boulder band.  They started playing together
while they went to college here.  Check out track 9 on "No Room" it's called
14th and Euclid.  Guess where I live....guess....14th and Euclid:-)!!!  They
even thank 14th and Euclid in the liner notes!  Anyway, all the "cool"
people in Boulder drive Vanagons, so of course so would The Samples.  Boy
they were a happy band, happy happy happy, not much room for that in the new
millenia.....
