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!

EXTRAVAGANZA

On the Internet: Coming soon to www.live365.com a constant
rebroadcast of the 10th anniversary show

*******************************************************************

OK so it's not really the tenth anniversary of this particular show
but it has been around 10 years that I've been on CKMS, starting out
way back when I called it the Frank and Friends show, going to
Wackyland, a brief 8 month hiatus, then the not so cool wagon show
and finally settling on Fireball XL5 for the last while.

I've been listening to tapes of my old shows, some of the talking
bits are hilarious. I'm recording some of them to play during the
10th anniversary extravaganza along with music that will try to
capture the atmosphere of those old shows.

Its been a long hard 10 years but with a lot of perseverance and
hard work I've been able to make it through. However this doesn't
take away from the fact that I can confidently say that going to
CKMS was the worst mistake of my life. Of course I'm joking, I've
make much worst mistakes in my life (for instance making friends
with all of you).

Quickly, this past show never really got into the election or
Remembrance Day themes as I was hoping, but I did stick
with the new release theme for most of the show.
