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!


February 2018


This year there were two albums that were vying for my top spot and it could have gone either way.  On another day perhaps the second album from Alvvays titled "Antisocialites" may have come out on top, as it also really great with a multitude of great songs.  But in the end I went with the album "Lovers" by Anna Lotterud who goes by the name Anna of the North, I just love every song,  it was telling that I had a really hard time to choose just two songs from it to play.
