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!

December 2018


I had so many songs that I wanted to get through before the end of the year this show featured a bonus song in each set so the show is bit longer than usual.  The three sets go through pretty much my typical repertoire: twee, electo, indie pop.

Best song I heard since the last show: Hey Paulette - I Really Do Love Penelope, see the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJ3-8GYNJ_w
