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.

January 6, 2012


The best singles I heard that were released in 2011, note not the best singles I heard in 2011 as sometimes I'm a bit behind the times and I try to keep the list limited to actual 2011 releases.  Next show will be the best albums of 2011.


First song of the show (best song I heard in 2011):
Sloppy Joe - Sometimes (Listen to it here:  http://soundcloud.com/whitelilyrecords/sloppy-joe-sometimes  )
