About this listen

Two good Canadian kids go back and listen to the compilation that defined a generation, Much Music's Big Shiny Tunes.


Every episode comedian Chris Betts and musician Jordan Robson Cramer go back and listen to a different volume of Big Shiny Tunes and talk about what it meant to them, how it hits them now and what it's like to be a Canadian music fan.


There will be interviews with bands from the compilation and Much Music personalities as well as other Canadian big wigs plus your favourite alt-rock from 1996 to 2009.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    The Epilogue episode of Season 1, in which Chris and Jordan recap their thoughts on the entirety of the Big Shiny Tunes compilation series and lower the casket on the following topics:

    Their favourite compilation and top 3 songs, their least favourite compilation and bottom 3 songs, what it felt like looking back on these years as a whole, what it was like submerging oneself into these songs during a global pandemic and, of course, the Washington Avenue Grill.


    Big Shiny Podcast will return in a few months with something new. Enjoy your summer and vaccinations.


    P.S. The ambient music sprinkled throughout comes from some sketches Graham Van Pelt uploaded to his youtube.

    In this last of meeting places we gripe together

    14 years and this is how MuchMusic decided to end things.

    The Horror. The Horror.


    Remember this compilation-if at all-not as lost

    Violent souls, but only

    As the hollow songs of men


    This is the way the Compilation ends
