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.

July 9, 1999

** 1st Aniversary Edition of the Fireball XL5 Setlist - wow I've been
putting together this crappy newsletter for an entire year, note to self:
find something better to do with life **

The "misheard lyric" version of Fireball XL5 went pretty well with lots of
input from you guys, if you want to look up other lyrics check out the
website: www.kissthisguy.com . We also had the "South Park" film
soundtrack (of which only a few songs can be played during the day), and
new albums from The Flaming Lips, Lucious Jackson, and Cibo Matto.

I don't really have a theme for this week's show, but as the Hillside
Festival is coming up on the weekend we will do a spotlight on that. As
it is the 30th anniversary of the Moon Landing I was going to play a set
of songs about the moon. If you have any suggestions about moon songs
send them along (but just to me not the whole group).
