Hey everyone,

The other day I was going through some old CD's when I came across something I hadn't seen in years. I popped 'er in and took a listen. What I had discovered was magical. In fact, I think it's the favourite of all my compilation CD's. It's from a series released in Canada by MuchMusic (our knockoff version of MTV) called "Big Shiny Tunes." The one I had found was the second in the series and features some fantastic tuneage. Check it out:

1. Prodigy - "Breathe (Edit)"
2. Blur - "Song 2"
3. Third Eye Blind - "Semi-Charmed Life"
4. Smash Mouth - "Walkin' on the Sun"
5. Sugar Ray - "Fly" (featuring Supercat)
6. Bran Van 3000 - "Drinking in LA"
7. Marilyn Manson - "Beautiful People"
8. Holly McNarland - "Numb"
9. Bush - "Swallowed"
10. Matchbox 20 - "Push"
11. Collective Soul - "Precious Declaration (Remix)"
12. The Tea Party - "Temptation (Edit) (Tom Lord-Alge Mix)"
13. The Chemical Brothers - "Block Rockin' Beats (Radio Edit)"
14. Wide Mouth Mason - "My Old Self"
15. Radiohead - "Paranoid Android"
16. The Age of Electric - "Remote Control"
17. Stone Temple Pilots - "Lady Picture Show"

The third one was also pretty incredible, but they've gone downhill in recent years. Here's the full list:
