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.

December 22, 2017


Trying to get through some songs from 2017 during this the last show of the year.  Starting off with yet another great song that I found out from the great website/SIRIUS XMU show Gorilla vs Bear (see his list of the best songs of 2017 linked below) and ending with a funky set.


Best song I heard since the last show: Men I Trust - Tailwhip see the video here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IZKcb3LndA
