Toad The Wet Sprocket - PS. A Toad Retrospective [1999]

Let me just say, I love Toad the Wet Sprocket. I'm actually not quite sure why I haven't made this yet.

Alright, now that THAT is squared away...Toad the Wet Sprocket was (essentially) a one hit band from the 90s that did that "Walk on the Ocean" song that was plastered all over MTV when they actually showed music videos on it regularly. But, for the many that discovered this band and revealed in all it's goodness, the great music that they put out on various albums. Their tendencies are that of adult progressive alternative and easy listening rock. Many of their songs are depressing, saddening, hopeful, and inspirational.

This particular album includes the "best of" of their discography. But really, I'd just say, download their whole discography somewhere, it really has some great music. Here is a clip from the album, particularly one of my more favored songs also. Mediafire

Fuck Yeah Flamenco Friday - Strunz & Farah - Heat of the Sun [1995]

In this weeks installment of Fuck Yeah Flamenco Friday, we will be looking into a much more deeper and traditional version of flamenco.

The difference from Jesse is quite obvious at first listen. The new age style is not as prevalent here as it is before. So what does that mean? This means you won't hear similar non-new-age styles playing at a lesbian massage parlor. I didn't find a mediafire link, but here is a sample of one of their songs.
