I'm going to upload San Francisco Girls. You and I seem to have had a lot of the same formative musical experiences. I'm guessin it's the Michigan/SW Ontario proximity. My hypothesis is that if you're from that part of the world you're gonna love Grand Funk, Alice Cooper, and Bob Seger, even if yer not sure why. |
| Tana (Lancaster, PA) | Posted: Apr 06, 2009 - 13:13 The Samples are so cheerful and infectious. They had a following that paralleled Dave Matthews Band followers in the 90s. Anyone have any recent word on this band? |
| Frater_Kork (Uppsala, Sweden) | Posted: Mar 06, 2009 - 00:34 I can hear chunks of Men at Work in there. Live several others I dig the EBow, the tune is a bit too repetitive though. |

| jimmunn | Posted: Feb 02, 2009 - 11:06 Haven't heard this one from them. Not them at their best as far as I am concerned. How 'bout playing "Buffalo herds and Windmills"? I LOVE that song. |
| Jazbo (Beautiful Valparaiso IN.) | Posted: Feb 02, 2009 - 11:05 I love the Samples. It might have something to do with listening while in the mountains! |

(I'm not familiar with it, but I think I hear the sound you're talking about — bowed guitar??) The EBow is a little hand-held, battery powered device which creates an electromagnetic force that causes a guitar string to vibrate, instead of the usual strumming or plucking. Informative but typically scattered Wikipedia article here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-Bow |

They started out doing Police covers and originals that sounded just like the Police. Then at some point, they really got good on their instruments, and started adding some jazz improv to their songs and took off to a whole other high level of composition and musicianship. Nice guys too, and their lyrics are spiritual and environmentalist. Good music you can sway dance to, and bliss out on, and subtle enough to keep your attention.
That's very interesting. I was about to say it reminded me of a Stewart Copeland solo record I have. Neat tune...gave it a 7. |

| Pyro | Posted: Apr 24, 2008 - 11:42 It has an REM feel to it, with a little Fripp thrown in at the end. Me likey. |

Ah, yes ... the good ol' East-West Transcendental Spark & Cinder Band.  |
| DeliBoy (Detroit, Michigan) | Posted: Feb 21, 2008 - 12:05 The Samples have a lot of very good Neil Young covers on archive.org, if anyone's interested. 'Like a Hurricane' comes to mind. |
| nigelr (Coffs Harbour, Australia) | Posted: Jan 21, 2008 - 01:41 I'm certainly diggin' this......... |

| travisco_nabisco (B.C. Canada) | Posted: Nov 08, 2004 - 17:05 This song is just incredible. Such a light sound but so full at the same time. I even found out that they have a few songs you can download for free from their site, including this one!!! |

Well, no wonder I like it. I had a huge crush on him 20 years ago. ... When I was 9, of course!!!  |
| mandalavt (Waitsfield, VT) | Posted: Oct 12, 2004 - 03:02 Adding to the VT / CO thing: The current version of the Samples (the only original member left is Sean Kelly) is actually back in Vermont and have been for a few years. Also, for those of you who like these guys, Sean acoustic has always been one of my favorite incarnations of their music, so I recommend the CD / DVD "Seventeen" for anyone interested.... |
| JamieR (Sacramento, CA) | Posted: Oct 01, 2004 - 14:25 a lil too repetative for me..

| japanmoran (Rockledge, FL) | Posted: Sep 21, 2004 - 12:35 I guess you can hear why I uploaded three samples tunes over two years ago! The best band that never made it big (much to their own disappointment, I think...) |
| 9-volt (Asheville, NC) | Posted: Sep 12, 2004 - 16:48 i'm hearing men at work more than the police - but indeed nostalgic |
