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.

December 8, 2000

Not that any of you will get this before the next show, in fact many
of you are probably reading this in the new year (or ignoring it in
the new year as the case may be). But I wanted to say that I actually
got this out before the next show, which of course will be the
Christmas show on December 22.

As well, it is the end of the year, so the show after this one will be the official
Fireball XL5 Best of 2000. This means I need some audience participation, so I would like everybody to send in their best 3 albums of the year 2000.

Merry Christmas to all my loyal listeners! Thanks for making this
the best year of Fireball XL5 ever.
