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 year, The Pastels released their first album since 1997, this band was there during the start of the C86-twee movement back in the mid-80s.  Apart from the great song that I played from the album, I also have a link below to the great video that really has a great feel to it.  The rest of the show consisted of me trying to clear out a lot of music before the end of the year.



Best song I heard since the last show - The Pastels - Check My Heart - Here the song here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjxYLFWxR6E

It seems that I got a lot of ideas for this show my new favourite twitter feed from Indie Pop Saved My Life ( @indiepopSML  and see the link to their facebook page below).  They are always posting about great up and coming as well as established indie pop artists.  Those songs made up a lot of the first two sets and then I ended off the show with some funky songs that I've had around for along time

Best song I heard since the last show - The Short Stories - Are You Listening Now? - Here the song here http://theshortstories.bandcamp.com/album/are-you-listening-now-ep

In a rare move I started out with an electro/funky set which started with my top song of the week, a band that played Osheaga that I didn't know about at the time I went to the festival.  I also got to play a song by a band with one of the best names out there "Throw That Beat In The Garbagecan!" , the song is also pretty good.
Best song I heard since the last show - Disclosure - When A Fire Starts To Burn - See the video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nsKDJlpUbA

For the first time this year I went to the Osheaga festival in Montreal, I had heard about it for many years and it was great, I would recommend it to anyone.  I did a lot of talking during the show to recap all my impressions of the festival.  I couldn't play all the bands that played, but touched on most of the ones that I saw which impressed me.

After the last show on the NYCPopfest I had lots of great indie pop that I had to get through.  In particular The Projections were a great find when I was doing some research on former members of The Pipettes.  The start of the second set were a couple of songs that easily could have been my top song and then I ended with more of an electro pop set.

Best song I heard since the last show - Persian Rugs - Always All http://vimeo.com/27772149

The first set stuck to the indie pop while the second was a bit on the more rocking end of the spectrum, starting with a great song by a band with a great name "The All Girl Summer Fun Band" and their song Car Trouble (see the link to video below).  The last set got some electro-pop out my system.

March 22, 2013


A bit of electro-pop, a bit of funk, and then a few older songs in the last set.  A special note for a song in that set, I don't know much about Freshwater Drum, but I got a cassette way back when when I was working on the University of Waterloo newspaper The Imprint.  The rest of the album is just OK, but man the song "Part of your Painting" is just one of the best songs out there.  Also in the last set I played Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, who I saw in Toronto recently in a show that truly rocked.
