A while back, monz recommended the band Sleeping People.
I was very encouraged by the samples on their site, so I
ordered a copy of their album from Amazon. Amazon finally
decided they can't get it, so I went in search of a copy
on my own. Found they're on this label:

http://temporaryresidence.com/

Whoa, musical goldmine here. All their samples are
apparently on one page here:

'Blue Fly Green Fly' and 'Nasty Portion'

Temporaryresidence seems to have 'Blue Fly Green Fly' only.

People that liked 'Blue Fly Green Fly' might
like a new link to symphonyx.

This website also has the "photos" of the band members:

http://www.sleepingpeople.com/3-people.htm

if you click on each bust, you can see a very modified
photo of each band member. at least i recognize the one
of drummer Brandon Relf:

BTW, i was just jamming on an improv at the Sonic Arts Gallery
not even an hour ago, with Brink, Jonathan Glasier, Bill Wesley,
and Brandon.

Brandon's day-gig is working behind the counter at
Grant's Deli, right next door.

When the deli closes, if he doesn't have a gig with the band,
he usually stops in at Sonic Arts, has a beer with whoever's
there, and does a little jamming.

That's how i know him, and about Sleeping People. He also
plays drums for another local band called Goblin Cock.

Well, I just dumped $100 on Temporary Residence CDs, including
Sleeping People, which again, I think is really impressive.
Nobody from the band should be working in a deli (unless they're
really into it... sandwichmaking is something of an art...).

Heh, heh, Goblin Cock...
