Please chip in with any positive comments or observations on each tune as they are being played in real time. There will be plenty of opportunity to expand on longer thoughts if you want to after the 'live' thread has finished, so keep them short and upbeat during the playback period. There will be short drinks intervals at the end of each side (there are four sides)

Having trouble posting the list of members..... it says there are too many characters.
Can someone else give it a try, copy and paste the list of members from the first page of last week's QOTSA listening party?

Big fan of Guerilla, but haven't listened to Radiator as much for some reason.
They are:
Vocals and guitar: Gruff Rhys from Bethesda, formerly of the superb band Ffa Coffi Pawb (literal translation, everybody's coffee beans, but said in Welsh sounds like fuck off everybody).
Guitar: Huw Bunford and Bass: Guto Pryce of Cardiff, formerly members of punk band U-Thant
Drums: Dafydd Ieuan, of Llangefni I think (where @thermionic hails from, and I spent my first 5 years), who was also in Gruff's band, Ffa Coffi Pawb, and the early Catatonia
Keyboards/synths/crazy sounds/pumping techno: Daf's brother, Cian Ciaran, who was in Wwzz and Aros Mae.
All contribute vocals and harmonies...... of which there are many.
The band formed in 93, initially to make electronic music, and the actor Rhys Ifans was initally a member (he made an answerphone appearance on Fuzzy Logic). They were signed by Creation in 95 and Fuzzy Logic was released in 96, and was an instant success, taking the power pop and indie glam of Ffa Coffi Pawb to new levels. In August 97, the 2nd album, Radiator was released. It was recorded in Studio Ofn, in a remote location in Anglesey, by producer Gorwel Owen, who also produced Gorky's.
As for "when am I ready?" You'll never be ready. It works in reverse, you become ready by doing it. - pmbomb
I haven't listened to the whole album for a while, also now having my first post Covid beer..

Lowering my expectations has succeeded beyond my wildest dreams.
