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.

March 5, 2010

Date: March 5, 2010
Theme: I believe
On Air: Frank

Finally a chance to play some new music after many themed shows, this of course created a log jam for my top song of the week as I had lots to choose from. So any of the first three songs could have been the one, but I went with the one I listened to the most over the last few weeks. As it turns out all three are from the labrador record label and are availabe either from the record label website ( www.labrador.se ) or here ( http://bit.ly/bC9Ykj ).

Although I would like to keep the podcast coming out every 2 weeks it seems like I can't do more than one a month. This time I blame the Olympics as I went to Vancouver and that kind of took me off my schedule. However, I did manage to see quite a few bands while I was out there and used that as a theme for a set.
