Here’s the mix of six songs (~16MB). What’s the theme? Also, if you can get the names of all the artists and the songs, I’ll be impressed.
Whatever

Theme: Falling in Love; Early, young love.
1. Crowded House, (That big hit I can never remember)
2. Some random Pro-Tools inspired hard-pop band
3. Billy Idol, Cath My Fall
4. ?
5. k.d. lang, Consequences of Falling in Love
6. Depeche Mode?
Crowded House did record “Fall at Your Feet”, but this version is Neil Finn solo and live from 7 Worlds Collide (the DVD, not the CD, from which this gorgeous song is sadly missing).
This could be a falling in love theme, but I just think it’s a fall (autumn) set. Nice.
I am useless in this particular endeavor. However! I just yesterday got myself a copy of Old Man’s War … and now that I’m finished with Terry Pratchett’s new one, you’re next in the queue.
My long-time significant other, who is the world’s cutest and goshdarn pickiest son-of-a-bitch about some things (including the fiction he indulges), picked it up shortly after it arrived … and had to be persuaded to put it down so we could go to a wedding. This is a very good sign ;-)
Do we get answers at any point? Since, you know, I have to learn this stuff somewhere.
You want the truth? You can’t handle the truth!
The theme is “falling” — nothing too complicated. All the titles have various iterations of the word “fall” in them.
The tracks are
1. “Fall at Your Feet” (Live) — Neil Finn, from the Sessions at West 57th DVD.
2. “Fall” — 3rd Degree (a band which no longer exists, at least not under that name)
3. “Catch My Fall” — Billy Idol
4. “Falling” — Todd Dorman
5. “The Consequences of Falling” — kd lang
6. “The Sun and the Rainfall” — Depeche Mode
