\"\"<\/a>20 years ago, during my sophomore year of high school, I put together the first of what would become a nearly 20 volume collection of mix tapes, containing my favorite songs that I had gathered either from the radio, a cassette tape, or (eventually) CD.\u00a0 We last looked back at all 20 volumes three years ago<\/a> to see which of my “favorite” songs still resonated in today’s digital world.\u00a0 Today, we revisit those mix tapes and see how, or if, things have changed in the past 3 years.<\/p>\n

Volume 9 places us squarely in the early months of 1993, overlapping with the second semester of my freshman year of college. \u00a0The hip hop and pop are rounded out with some alternative and what passes for hair metal in the post-grunge era.<\/p>\n
