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!


May 2018


My top song came from Kero Kero Bonito, they released an album a couple of years ago which I liked and now they have released the first single from their upcoming album.  I kept on the electro-pop theme for the first set, then when a bit more rock in the second set, and brought the tempo down for the last set.  The last song of that set by Kevin Krauter is a beautiful song and I'm looking forward to his full album out later this year.

Best song I heard since the last show: Kero Kero Bonito - Time Today, listen to it here: here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WqcPYOr--g
