hahaha fuck you but yeah that would be fun.

Yeah, PP or World Leader Pretend would be fantastic

I think that time would be tough for most bands to nail down in a few days.

A national treasure.

If you’re going with Priest, I think there are a few that would make for better jams in this format.

ooh, good one.  Ship of Fools as backup suggestion.

Run Runaway - Slade

You mean the one they released five years before winning the “Best New Artist” Grammy?

Always happy to see a Ned’s call-out. Not Sleeping Around is my go-to.

Seriously, I am irrationally psyched about all of this. I’ve been operating under the assumption that AVC would gradually circle the comment-less drain and eventually fold, while hanging around with a few other die-hards until the sad day.

or Constructive Summer

For Prince it would be fun to see Baby I’m a Star  

Whoever it was who did The Killing Moon reminded me what a great song that is, and put it back in my regular rotation. And the face-to-face Stop Dragging My Heart Around with Sharon van Etten is an all-timer.

This makes me so happy

who?

Good to hear.  I don’t know if you were on the site a few years back, but the typical article had a hundred-plus comments and many would have 300 or more.  Even if you’re looking at it from a pure digital marketing perspective, that’s a solid metric given how long the typical visitor spends on a given page.

I have to think that marketing dollars attracted to a site with greater engagement would swamp what they could make from subscriptions. How may people do you think would pay $5 a month for an AV Club subscription? A few thousand at best? So $15k a month, being optimistic. That’s nothing compared to the ad dollar…

Also, I start with the feet. So 6'3" quickly falls under the radar.

I don’t know if it’s deliberate, but putting Reinsve (whom I’ve barely heard of) in the role played in the movie by Greta Scacchi seems like a misfire. It made more sense that he would break down and cheat with a coworker who was so overtly hot and sexual.

First, I’d say volume. Grisham, once published with The Firm and then being able to sell A Time to Kill on its coattails, published every couple of years. Most are excellent beach reads. Turow’s are not only fewer and further between, but more dense.
