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 24, 2011

Sorry, it has been a while since the last podcast, I've been relocating and finally have all of the necessary equipment in one place to do a recording. But the result is that this is an indie poptastic show with lots of the great music that I've been collecting over the last many weeks.

I'll say right now that I expect two of the songs in the first set to end up being on my top 10 singles of this year. The second set all came from a sampler from Brassland Records of New York that you can download for free here: http://brassland.bandcamp.com/album/brassland-sampler-for-2011-free , it features such artists as The National and Baby Dayliner.

I never know what to play for the last song of the show as it is usually orphaned away from the other sets, so I'm going to try something new and take a random song from my digital music collection and use that as my last song. We'll see how it goes, but I really liked and forgotten about this week's random ending.
