Sheep Are Counting Me

I've been trying to put together this mix ever since June when I made a muxtape (RIP sorta) with the same name. Also reading on Peters (friends only) blog about how he is getting into New Found Glory finally (Sort of because of the cover included on this mix) sparked me to put this up instead of another I've been working on.

The first and last songs on this mix are covers by a girl who posts on the b9er, they are home recordings but both sound awesome. Another highlight of this mix is of course the combination of two of my favorite things, Quicksand and The Smiths. Oh and pay attention to a few lyric changes by H2O and Trial. U R Moshing.
