Fireball XL5 is the name of an indie-pop show hosted by Frank Seglenieks that for 18 years was on CKMS 100.3 FM Radio Waterloo. However, as a result of a format change in mid-2008, Fireball XL5 is now heard only as a podcast.

Of course I stole the name of the show from the 60s British Supermarionation program, which featured puppets kind of like the movie Team America.

I play alternative music that usually classified as indie-pop with the occasional feature on a particular artist or theme as well as discussions on pop culture topics of the day. I start off each show with the best song that I have heard since the last
show.

Note that the links to shows older than 6 months might not be working, if you really want those shows please send me an email and I can get them to you.

August 6, 1999

We came back from Boston a lot poorer, but rich in memories, thanks to
Wayne for his Pixies suggestion, however they did not have a star in front
of the Tower records in Boston, unlike New Kids on the Block, Aerosmith,
Boston, Rob Zombie, Pat Metheney, and Jonathan Richman.

This week the Ambassador (Peter Brown) is rumoured to be joining Michelle
and I, and as some of the people from the list are on a horseback riding
trip out west I want to do a set of horse (or at least cowboy/western)
music, suggestions?
