Question of the week #16

[treonb]

The Americans has enough of a viewership to have been renewed for a second season, but the fandom for the show (people who make the effort to seek out other fans to talk about the show with, people who create their own fanworks about the show) remains quite small.

And so, this week's question: Why do you think that might be?

You can expect spoilers for the entire first season in the comments.

(There's no expiration date on these questions, so if you're reading this post months later and feel like jumping in, please do.)

Collective Fanmix

[tinny]

I tried to make a fanmix for the Americans. So far, there are four songs:

1) Roberta Flack - "To Love Somebody"
2) Ben Folds feat. Regina Spektor - "You don't know me"
3) Maroon 5 - "She Will Be Loved"
4) Luka Bloom - "Rescue Mission"

( Relevant lyrics snippets and youtube embeds under the cut )

That's all I could come up with so far, so I guess it doesn't count as a real fanmix yet. But this community is so awesome, I thought maybe we could throw together all our favorite Americans-related songs and can make it a full mix? Maybe even manage with only songs written before the 80s? I obviously failed spectacularly at that. *g*

I'd be excited to find out what songs you associate with the show! Let's make a collective fanmix?


I don't even know how to tag this...
