dreams of pirate ships and patty hearst

Hey, who doesn't love cover songs? :)

I've been working on this mix on and off since ... April, I think? Always meaning to post it, then going "eh, I should add one or two more songs, I should think about that ..." and totally forgetting about it for a while. But, now it's a nice even 20 songs! A perfect size and shape for everyone to enjoy! Some are new songs, some are older covers, but all are songs I've been enjoying this year for one reason or another.

Want, take, have ... comments are lovely, as always!
