Here's the 2003 mixtape I made for my sister. I spent the first 8 months without any music, living in England, before returning to college in August of this year. On the plane ride home, I listened to the airplane music station, taking obsessive notes and soaking up all the sounds. It had been a long time without good music (almost 2 years). Bonnie 'Prince' Billy's "[Three Questions](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfRsSVcRfqQ)" should be between "Not Even Stevie Nicks" and "Time is Running Out"
I didn't listen to a ton of music late in the 2014, apparently.
