Of course I named the show after the great album by the Smittens and I pay homage to the band by using a clip of their song 11:11 for my theme. I hope the band doesn't mind, but when I have talked to various members of the band after shows they seem like nice people whom I think would be good with it.

I also use this name for my DJ night happening occasionally at the Jane Bond in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.

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. (Note that prior to 2018 I called my podcast FireballXL5, so don't be confused if you look at an old setlist)

Special thanks to Jeff Woods for finding my a place to host my mp3s!


March 30, 2001

I was joined this show by Trevor and Heather who share my love of baseball and in particular the Toronto Blue Jays, we had a few talking bits about the Jays and baseball. Of course we had to get all of the baseball take out of the way before Michelle came and banned any more of it.

Yes, yes I know I promised the year end CD last week, well a certain colour laser printer went down last week and has been very slow in returning from the shop, all I know is that they'll get out eventually.

The next show is Good Friday April 13th (yes I know it's also Friday the 13th but it seems like a did a show with that theme just a little while ago), don't really have an idea of what to play, but as it is the easter season and some of us might be decorating eggs before the show are there any songs about EGGS?

I'm also interviewing Andras Jones (who is playing the Jane Bond on April 21) before the show, so depending on how it goes I might play some of it during the show.

Happy Easter Everybody!
