\"\"<\/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. We last looked back at all 20 volumes three years ago to see which of my “favorite” songs still resonated in today’s digital world. Today, we revisit those mix tapes and see how, or if, things have changed in the past 3 years.<\/p>\n

Volume 14 takes us into the early summer of 1994, following the end of my sophomore year of college. \u00a0The song selection continues to be \u00a0mostly alternative, with a little G-funk added for flavor.<\/p>\n
