"Shine examines the creation and cultural impact of Big Shiny Tunes, the legendary Canadian compilation record released by MuchMusic in 1996. Big Shiny Tunes left a massive cultural imprint on Canada, one that can be found in cover bands, tribute nights, YouTube playlists, and used record bins from coast to coast. Through interviews and criticism, Shine dives into the album's origins, its status as the ultimate gateway record, the era of the compilation, and its still-unfolding influence on Canadian music, one track at a time."--
