I think this one started as a disc where all the songs would be sung in first person, but it mutated into another themeless mix as I decided to put other stuff in there. There's a few songs from movie soundtracks, and the first appearance of the Shaggs on this iteration of the project. They were three sisters who practiced a lot and wrote their own songs, but only practiced with each other so they were making pop music with almost no influences and absolutely no coaching. Their father believed they were destined to be rock stars. This went on to not happen.
The theme to The Wire is followed up by a song called "Chicken Shack" because there's a Baltimore restaurant mentioned on the show called the Chicken Shack. I put a lot of thought into these sorts of things.
