The Coolest Thing About Love is the name of an indie-pop podcast hosted by Frank Seglenieks. I play alternative music that usually classified as indie-pop with the occasional feature on a particular artist or theme as I have been known to veer in soul and funk. I start off each show with the best song that I have heard since the last show and end with a random songs pulled from my song library.
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!

Every once in a while I put together a show that just comes together really well and everything works, this was one of those shows. There were three distinct themes for the sets in this show: a funky set to start off, then a set of music from bands playing the upcoming Primavera Music Festival in Barcelona (spoiler alert I'm going!), and ended with a set of music from the Cloudberry Cake Records blog. Nothing else to say, just listen for yourself.
Best song I heard since the last show - Heiko Voss - Think About You (First Version) - Listen to part of the song here (best I could do) http://www.trackitdown.net/genre/house/track/489839.html
