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.

Theme: Playing Catch Up
On Air: Frank


On this show I managed to take care of a lot of songs that I had been bringing to the station for a few months but never playing, that might be why some of the sets are a bit disjointed.

I also found some various CDs in the CKMS delete pile that brought back some memories (and made me feel old) so I had to play them:

Ian Knope - Solar, Man of the Atom (from an Edmonton compilation that I remember from way back)

Altogether Morris - Eaten Alive (I remember that when Dave and I first played this song many years ago, he guessed that the band name came from an episode of Tales of the Riverbank (starring Hammy Hamster), but this has never been confirmed, unfortunately the CD is showing its age and didn't play very well in the CKMS CD players)

The Vinaigrettes - PS I Hate You (I never played this album when it first came out, but this was Carolyn Mark's first band)

Maxine Brown - Oh No Not My Baby
The Shangri-las - Out In The Streets
Massive Attack - Live With Me
