Something that could be interesting - a book about the impact of Big Shiny Tunes on the Canadian rock landscape

Not sure how interesting you could make that subject, but I still might check it out. Those compilations were huge back in the day.

Speaking of Muchmusic, there's a terrific book about it's history and cultural impact called "Is This Live?" It's a very fun and interesting read.

Speaking of Big Shiny Tunes.... I'm going to see what all this Dwayne Gretzky fuss is about tomorrow in Ottawa. They're touring Big Shiny Tunes.
