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.

October 27, 2000

This was of course the scary Halloween show, as well as playing
scary music I also read some scary stories, well at least I thought
they were scary, I got them from the internet just before the show
and it turns out they weren't that good. One of them had rather
bad grammar and had weird sexual imagery at some parts:

The other one was just pretty stupid:

Next year I'll need some pre-planning.

My big announcement is that on November 24 Fireball XL5 will be taking
over the airwaves from 6 to 11 pm to celebrate my personal 10 year anniversary on
CKMS. I'm going to try and find as many clips as I can from my years
on the radio and of course play music from each year. I'm also trying
to get as many of my former co-hosts to appear on the show. As well
it looks like CKMS probably won't be webcasting by then but I'm going to
do my best to get the anniversary show on the internet. More details
on this later.

For this week's show I want to concentrate on mostly new releases
as I seem to have been neglecting them the last few shows. But there
are also a couple of other ideas I had for sets these being the
crazy election in the states and the upcoming ones in Canada, as
well the show will be the day before Remembrance Day.
