\"\"<\/a>Between 1989, my sophomore year of high school, and 1995, my fourth year of college, I put together 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. Three years ago<\/a>, we looked back at all 20 volumes and which of my \u201cfavorite\u201d songs I still listened to. Today, we revisit those mix tapes and see how things have changed in the last 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
