End 2000 - After some minor glitches, our new offices are wired to the gill - time to let the music flow

  
Mates of State
My Solo Project		 Wow, where do we start! ...more


Caviar
Caviar		 The Chicago scene is a bursting out with a fresh new energetic sound ... more



Essex Green
Everything is Green		 If you've followed the tunefilter for anytime now, you know we have a thing for those la-la-la singing, Gretch toting, 60's haircut sporting pop bands that chase happy vocal harmonies with heavy on the Fender Twin-Reverb and wah-wah pedal guitars ... more


Talvin Singh
OK		 Strong songs in Traveller, Butterfly, and Disser/Point.Mento.B but the rest of the disc does not match up ... more


Broadcast
The Noise Made By People		 We liked their 60's styling "The Book Lovers" being placed on the Austin Powers soundtrack, but we loved all the dark, lonely, and moody-edged songs on the rest of the album.

Amon Tobin
Permutation		 Seems like it should be played late in the night but full of that energy that usually comes earlier in the evening. Mystery tinged with melancholy. Jazz laced with breakbeat ... more

 
Dandy Warhols
Thirteen Tales of Urban Bohemia		 I still kick myself for being dragged out of town and missing the Dandy's play at the World Famous Purple Onion ... more


Mid 2000 - After a long search, the tunefilter finally has their new HQ in SF. Here's what's on the CD player:  
The Handsome Family
In the Air		 Songs about death, gloom, the afterlife and midwest icons sung in deep baritone to a country waltz beat. What's not to like about that?

Air
Premiers Symptomes		 Moon Safari is so good we need more! Thankfully our fix is satiated with this disc.

Delphonic Sounds Today
 Nice concept - get a bunch of new, cutting edge bands to cover some tunes originally created and released in the 50s and 60s.

Beginning 2000 -rainy and gray here in the Bay Area, busy as tunefilter tries to find a new HQ (in SoMa?), but here's what we're spinning:  
Lambchop
Nixon		 This smooth, well produced disc makes for a nice mellow listen, but nothing is beating us over the head with wow.

Eels
Daisies of the Galaxy		 You might have remembered the Eels when they had a hit single get some airplay on the local alternative stations a couple of years back (in the mid 90's). If you're anything like me, you immediately wrote the band off once that event occurred ...more

Jason Falkner
Can You Still Feel?
 Quick, name the psychedelic, late 80's/early 90's rock band whose debut album featured Jason Falkner on guitar ...more

Propellerheads
Decksanddrumsand
rockandroll
 High energy mix that is bound to light up the dance floor at your next gig... more

Air
The Virgin Suicides: Original Motion Picture Score
 If you're new to Air, we'd recommend Moon Safari first. If you're an Air diehards, step right this way.

 If you're new to Jason Falkner, get Can You Still Feel first.

Indian Vibes
Mather
 We're cruising around SF late one night looking for a place to live when on KALX, Cal's outstanding student run radio, on comes the funkiest, groovinist, sitar driven tune we've ever heard... more
