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!


July 2018


Not only a set of music highlighting the bands that played the great IndieTracks festival this month (I say great but have never been, but hope to one day), but also an opening set mostly stolen from a list of the best songs so far from 2018 put together by Shadow Music.  Then I ended if off with a bit of a down-tempo set of music that I think went together well.

Best song I heard since the last show: Palm Ghosts - Love In Winter, listen to it here: here: http://spillmagazine.com/spill-music-premiere-palm-ghosts-love-winter/
