All My Ex's Live In Sacramentois the name of this mix.
Here is a pseudo-serious reason why these seemingly random songs are grouped together:
If I hadn't actually been to Sacramento, I wouldn't believe it was a real place. It seems more of a mystical city/vortex where girls with whom I've screwed things up all seem to gather, and where Phoenix Suns great Kevin "KJ" Johnson resides as mayor. If you have a significant other or are even casually dating someone, chances are they will end up leaving to some other city soon (most likely Sacramento), at which point you should give them this "welp, I guess it's too late now" send-off mix as they are drawn inevitably toward California's underwhelming capital.
*Tip: I've made my girlfriend listen to it as a preemptive strike, hoping to protect her from the vortex. While not the mix's original intention, you may want to employ a similar tactic depending on you level of interest in said significant other.
Good luck, and enjoy.
