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!


June 25, 1999 

Well the first CD idea worked really well, I got a lot of responses and
was able to find enough of them to fill up a set as well a set of my first
five CDs.  My first one was a blues compilation which I got for around
$15, a cheap CD at the time, then I sent away for 3 Spirit of the West
albums from Stoney Plain records, then I picked up The Proclaimers.

Michelle liked the idea so much she wants to do it again, this time the
theme is misheard lyrics, my example is by REM the song The Sidewinder
sleeps tonight when Stipe sings "Call me when you try to wake her up" I
always thought it was "Calling Jamaica", hey that's what is sounded like
to me OK. There have also been a series of books about this with the
title "Scuse my While I Kiss This Guy" from the Jimi Hendrix song.  Anyway
send in you favourite misheard lyric.
