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!

This was a special all-internet version of the podcast as all the songs came from streaming sites all over the web. As a result you can see that after each song on the setlist is the location where you can listen to the song yourself, maybe listen to other songs by that artist, and hey if you like them you might even want to purchase a song or two.

My top song of the week was by British band Allo Darling who I had the pleasure of seeing a few weeks ago in Toronto and there I picked up their 2010 self-titled debut album. They have a great indie-pop sound that even impressed some of the really drunk guys who randomly walked into the El Macombo during the show. Another bonus of seeing them live was that I recognized the bass player as a member of Moustache of Insanity whom I saw at last year's NYC popfest, this made me feel cool in my own mind and made me realize my twee pop obsession has really gotten out of hand.

All of the second set was from the blog Beat the Indie Drum where they put out a list of 32 albums that were the best of the year so far. Along with the more famous bands like Lykke Li, The Acid House Kings, and Peter, Bjorn, and John there were also a lot of lesser known artists. I'm sure that if you listen to all the songs you will find a few that you really enjoy, I know that I did.

First song of the show (best song I heard since the last show):
Allo Darling - Kiss Your Lips (View a live version of the song here: http://vimeo.com/7633429 )
