Fall 1990.
I definitely wasn’t very organized about these mix tapes. Music on this tape combines memories from my senior year in high school through my first semester in college. I was listening to “Blame It on the Rain” when the earthquake struck the San Francisco area in 1989. A girl I met my first semester at New Mexico state and I dedicated the song “Next to You” to each other. The last song, “3 Strange Days” I discovered on my fraternity brother’s copy of the now-defunct WHFS-FM’s top 100 of 1990 song list.
