Continuing from my Streamable Track Gots - Jun 07 article, here's my monthly installment of goodies, from my Streamable Track Wants tag!

All tracks on Aaron Neville's My Greatest Gift have become streamable, bringing a couple of my favourites with them: Hercules and Tell It Like It Is.

I think, first heard Amy Winehouse's Rehab on Later...with Jools Holland, now it's streamable :)

Dropping the mood, for a couple of tracks: B.B. King's The Thrill is Gone and Bruce Springsteen's Streets of Philadelphia (sacrilegious to some, I'm sure, but one of the few of The Boss's tracks I like).

Serrado is the track that first got me into Djavan, when it appeared in Gilles Peterson's Gilles Peterson in Brazil selection. The track's a luscious latin swing fest', the vocal gymnastics are amazing, yet so natural - Prepare to dance, this track's a joy!

Four Tet's She Moves She suffered from misassigned audio for a while - now proper stuff streams again :)

Heatwave's Boogie Nights is amongst the first 100 tracks I bought - great, great, great to now have this to add to radios!

I first got to know John McLaughlin, as a boy, through my father's Mahavishnu Orchestra albums. Electric Guitarist is the only solo album, of his, that I own. This album deserves an article of it's own - a galaxy of jazz fusion/jazz rock stars session here - see Jazz-Rock-Fusion-Guitar.BlogSpot.com to get an idea. Jack Bruce's bass on Are You The One? Are You The One? is characteristically outstanding and New York on My Mind is my favourite of the more traditional tracks.

Another two tracks that've returned from a streamability hiatus Ladytron's He Took Her to a Movie and Republica's Ready to Go.

Sarah Vaughan's In A Sentimental Mood is the first of two tracks, this month, contributing to the streamability of my http://static.last.fm/matt/tinyradio.gifSlushy Grooves - 1: DJ Scrawl 1992 PTT (a tag copy of a 1992 mixtape). Not my favourite recording, which's found on The Duke Ellington Songbook, Vol. 1, but excellent all the same.

The whole of The Faint's Danse Macabre Remixes album has become streamable :) Including the DJ's joy The Conductor (Thin White Duke remix) - this track rocks and's extremely easy to mix with!

I'd like to know more about For The Love Of Money, back in the early 80s there were so many covers of it, it's easy to assume this The O'Jays version is the original, but may be not.

http://a209.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/00817/80/27/817847208_l.gif I first came to know the song through Defunkt's For the Love of Moneycover, just listen to Kim Clarke slamming the bass on that one! IMO, Kim's one of the best female bass players the world's ever seen!

Van Morrison's Crazy Love is another contributor to the Slushy Grooves mixtape tag.

Finally, Zap Mama's Take Me Coco is another welcome return to streamability, after a few months away (and in mistagging land).

All of these are available, for you delight and delectation,
on my http://static.last.fm/matt/tinyradio.gifFormerly Streamable Track Wants Jul 07 PTT
or, more broadly, on my http://static.last.fm/matt/tinyradio.gifFormerly Streamable Track Wants 07.

Enjoy! - Ian :D Streamable Track Wants
