December 10, 2010

I wanted to do one more show before my Christmas and Best Of podcasts, so I snuck this one in. Mostly a lot of leftovers that I wanted to get out of way before 2011. However the second set featured artists that played the Bowlie 2 festival in England, although it was far away and would have been expensive, it also would have been great. There is a link below that lists the bands that played, but the most important thing to know about the festival was that it was curated and starred Belle and Sebastian.

For those wanting a sneak peak into my best of shows this would be a good time to check out the Fireball XL5 website where everyday I'll be posting one more from my Best of 2010 Singles and Albums. If you can't remember to check the website then you can also get the updates from my Twitter and Facebook accounts.
