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 14, 1998

I was alone this past week as Venus (Michelle) didn't have the energy to
make it to Space City (CKMS). As I was alone I made it random show,
just picking a CD from the top of each pile, mixed in with a set related
to the movie "Something about Mary" and a tribute to the Jane Bond's
"Fag Night" (which Michelle took her mother to by the way), I'll let you
figure out which set it was.

The Monica & Bill thing was a CD with the the presidential seal and
Monica & Bill written on it, the songs just has a man saying "monica"
and a women saying "bill", very strange.

My favourity surprise song was UltraBabyFat's Jonesin, quite good.

Also, does anybody know which city Messenjah is from?
