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!

Lots of pop, some rock, and some funky stuff this show. As well I played some older material from my CD collection that I'm trying to archive to save shelf space.
The second set started with a disappointment from the past week when my chance to see The Mary Onettes in Chicago was canceled because of the Icelandic volcano. And the odds of my being back in Chicago when they (hopefully) reschedule their tour are pretty bad. Needless to say Chicago was still pretty cool.
I'm also getting better at finding out where I first heard songs so I can give credit to the great music I find out about from other people's podcasts and blogs.

I started the show with a song from the most recent release of the Waterloo band Bocce, their sound has really matured since their last release and I encourage everyone to go to their website (listed below), download their album, and if you like it support the boys with a donation.
This past week I was looking at clearing some space from a computer and found a directory where I once downloaded the entire content of the famous C86 cassette compilation from the New Music Express (NME). It came out in 1986 and featured some of the best indie-pop bands of the time. I sprinkled the show with songs from the compilation and I was amazed at how well the songs stand the test time after almost 25 years. You can find out more about C86 here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C86_%28music%29 .

Theme: Going Undercover
On Air: Frank
I got into a dancey/electropoppy mood with my top song of the week and it just continued from there for most of the show.
The second set started with Ted Leo and the Phamacists covering "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" originally by Tears For Fears. This was the first song from The Onion's musical arm: the AV club and their project called Undercover. As they describe it: 25 bands, 25 cover sosngs, 1 small round room. It looks like some interesting covers are coming up, everything from Hall and Oats, to M.I.A. to Neutral Milk Hotel to The Replacements. See details of the Undercover project here ( http://www.avclub.com/articles/tears-for-fears,38869/ )
I also stole a set idea from the podcast of Paul the Advanced Warning Guy ( http://www.advancedwarning.cjb.net ) who played the Pipettes and some other bands with the same kind of style, so I went with it and played a single from the upcoming CD from the Pipettes. Now I would be very excited by this if these were the same Pipettes as before, but unfortunately 2 of the members have left the band and it is now down to Gwenno and her sister. I unfortunately don't hold out much hope, however in the set I also played something from Electric Blue a band led by Rebecca Stephens who was one of the woman that left the Pipettes. I don't know much about Electric Blue, but I really like all the songs on their myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/electricblue82 .

Finally a chance to play some new music after many themed shows, this of course created a log jam for my top song of the week as I had lots to choose from. So any of the first three songs could have been the one, but I went with the one I listened to the most over the last few weeks. As it turns out all three are from the labrador record label and are availabe either from the record label website ( www.labrador.se ) or here ( http://bit.ly/bC9Ykj ).
Although I would like to keep the podcast coming out every 2 weeks it seems like I can't do more than one a month. This time I blame the Olympics as I went to Vancouver and that kind of took me off my schedule. However, I did manage to see quite a few bands while I was out there and used that as a theme for a set.

Wow, has it been 10 years already, yes I remember doing my best of the 1990s radio show way back when. Who would have thought then that my next best of the decade recap would be on an internet only podcast distributed on something called the internet created on a magical box called a laptop.
I decided to be uninspired in the order of the show as all I did was play my top singles of the decade from 1 to 15 and then my top albums of the decade from 15 to 1.
