*MOE #4*
According to Hansonline, issue 4 of MOE has been mailed out. So it'll take up to 4 weeks depending on where you live.
*Yahoo Chat*
Hanson will be chatting on Yahoo! on Feb. 22, at 8pm ET. They will also be auctioning off autographed posters of the Hanson and Bob Weir performance at http://auctions.yahoo.com. The proceeds will go to the Federal Land Action Network. Remember if you want to chat, you have to be registered with Yahoo. So that means if you have an email address there and/or have gone to a Yahoo chat before, then you're registered.
*Tay's New Earring*
Has anyone seen Tay's new earring? Well, I, for one think it's true.
I've seen some pix of it. The story is that he got it pierced on his left ear, on the cartilage part...
other wise known as the top part of the ear. He got it on Valentine's Day in NYC.
*Motown Live*
Hanson is going to appear on
the Valentine's Day special of Motown Live. The thing is
that the show is syndicated, so we have no idea when
it'll air in your area. It's probably a never-before seen
performance...but still taped the same time they did
"Gimme Some Lovin'" and "Run, Rudolph,
Run." I dunno, we don't see the commercials here =(.
Well, anyways, just to remind you we know nothing about
the time, date, and/or channel unless you live in Canada
like we do. =)
*Hanson at Sundance*
In this week's Entertainment Weekly (the one with
Michelle Pfeiffer on the cover) they did a bit on the
Sundance Film Festival which was held in Utah between
January 24-27. Turns out that Hanson made it to the
festival (at least 2 of them did):
"Even two thirds of Hanson
appeared at a screening for the postpartum
college-blues comedy Chillicothe: 'We knew these guys
when we were nobody,' said Isaac Hanson -- the 'guys'
being writer-director Todd Edwards and producer Cory
Edwards, who live in the teens' hometown of
Tulsa."
**Sister Sites**
Hey there! So far, we've had tons of
requests to be sistas with a lot of sites. Right now,
though, we're trying to figure out what sites we
want. So, please do not send in anymore requests.
Sorry if this has cause any inconvenience.=(
*Check out Hansonline*
Hansonline put up a bit more info about the
enHANSONed CD that you'll get with MOE #5, plus some
sound clips from the CD (includes songs from Boomerang
and MMMBop). There's also a picture of the
Gibson Les Paul Isaac poster that you could win. And
some info about tickets and backstage passes that MOE
members could win for Hanson's next tour. So go check
that out. :) Read below for other info about MOE and
the CD.
*MOE #4 and all the goodies*
What to come soon with MOE? All those that renew
their subscription or recently signed up and expect
to get MOE #5 when the time comes are SUPPOSED to get
the special enhanced CD that is being distributed
with that issue. Now, that's with #5, we still have
MOE #4 that's going to come out very soon with
details about the CD. Until then, here's a preview.
The CD will include:
- "Boomerang" (from
Hanson's first indie album Boomerang)
- "Rain" (From Boomerang)
- "More Than Anything"
(from Boomerang, the original version
with Zac and Taylor singing background
vocals)
- "Incredible" (from
their second indie album MMMBop, not
included on 3 Car Garage)
- "Baby, You're So
Fine" (from MMMBop, not included
on 3CG)
- The enhanced portion of the CD
to be played on your computer's CD-ROM, with
a video of Hanson talking about their new
album
- Hanson/MOE mouse pointers for
your computer
- Hanson/MOE screen savers for
your computer
- A link to the special MOE area
of Hansonline
- Special access to a
"virtual world" where you can meet
and interact with Hanson online (whatever
that means... LOL)
- And more... okay... and much,
much MOrE... happy? Hehe
The CD will be included with MOE #5
so to anyone that expects to receive MOE #5 will
then, of course, receive the CD. In MOE #4, due to be
hitting mailboxes in a little less than a month or
so, there will be several contests. You can win an
autographed Gibson Les Paul Studio Electric Guitar
(like Isaac's), 1 of 25 autogra phed Gibson posters
featuring Ike, or 1 of 100 autographed MOE #5. I'm
not psychic... all info was taken from an official
post on the Hanson newsgroup alt.fan.hanson and from
the Hanson Hotline. :) (thanks again, Lisa =) )
*Rolling
Stone Article*
Here is an article from Rolling
Stone Online:
As puberty-ridden Peter Brady once said, "When
it's time to change,you've got to rearrange...."
Now facing similar baritone-blossoming problems, the
middle brother of another illustrious family group,
Hanson, is taking that sage advice to heart this
winter. Sixteen years old next month, Taylor Hanson
has written approximately twenty-five new songs with
his brothers Isaac and Zac for a new, more mature
Hanson album. "I'm sure it will be
groundbreaking," says an unbiased management
representative regarding the trio's third studio
album, which is tentatively scheduled for release
late this summer. So far the group has cut demos for
five new tunes at their home studio in Tulsa, Okla.,
and hopes to begin banging out full fledged studio
tracks next month. In the meantime, the threesome
will begin sorting through crates of love letters
from potential producers and inviting candidates to
their Midwestern retreat for auditions / rap
sessions.
*Hanson in a NEW computer game*
Hanson was mentioned in
this new computer game called "Head Rush"
Here are the questions that were in the trial
version. The full version has many Hanson questions
(this might offend some Hanson fans, so you're
forwarned):
1. Paid Athlete + littlelest Hanson= ___?___
2. MmmStop kissing me if teen songbirds Hanson were
to make a special appearance on the "City of
Brotherly Love." What might the fans see?
a) Zac smooching Tay in San Fracise
b) Ike kissing Tay in Tulsa
c) Ike giving a peck to Zac in London
d) Tay frenching Ike in Philidelpia
...and then it says "I always knew there was
something weird about that family."
If you want the answers, then just email us.
*New
Book by Ravi*
Ravi was Hanson's backup guitarist in 1997 and did
their promo tour with them. He is releasing a book
titled Dancin' with Hanson that is
being published by Pocket Books/Simon and Schuster on
April 1, 1999. It's suppose to contain
never-before-seen behind-the-scenes photos and
stories that were taken from Ravi's tour journal.
It's approximately 96 pages with a retail value of
$12 (although I'm sure it won't be hard to find it
for less due to discounts). Currently, the book is
listed at Amazon.com for
pre-order at $9.60.
(we can't thank
the Hanson Hotel Staff enough and to Kim who provided
that info) =)
*A Double-Dose of new Hanson Books to be released*
Two new
Hanson books to be released. One called Hanson
set to be released on Feb. 1st, and another called Hanson:
From Tulsa to the Stars set to be released in
March. You can pre-order 'em at: Hanson
Online Bookstore.
*Not much Hanson in 16*
"Hanson --
Do you still love them?" as so asks this month's
16 mag. People have been asking why Hanson has been
featured on their magazine less and less as the
months go by. They've challenged you fans (you guys
of course!), to write in and tell how much we love
'em. Here's the address:
16 Magazine
PO Box 887
Madison Square Station
New York, NY 10159
*Polygram and Universal
Records Merger*
I heard about this on a radio station here a
few months ago, but never really cared about it. It
is true though, but no need to worry, Hanson will
still have a record label. The whole story behind
this is: well, the record company that Hanson is
signed to is Mercury Records. Mercury Records is a
division or company of Polygram. So if Polygram and
Universal merge, then it would mean some good news
for some bands and artists signed to Polygram and
Universal. Those bands and artists signed will
probably come out with a new label or possibly some
albums will be delayed upon their release. But, since
Hanson's album is supposed to be due out around the
summertime, I doubt that there will be a problem
because the companies are merging soon. We just have
to wait and hope for the best for Hanson.
*Some places to vote*
We will have the voting booth up soon on the
site, but in the mean time...there are a lot of
places to vote for Hanson:
teen.com-vote for
Hanson at their Entertainment Awards
*Hanson
and Jonny Lang?*
Well, yes, don't worry they're not in a relationship
(ew!) or anything, but Hanson was at a Jonny Lang
concert in Tulsa on Monday. The great part was that
they weren't really noticed, but some fans did notice
and got to meet them. Just a *reminder* for where
Hanson is and what they're doing: In Tulsa,OK and
recording the new album which has yet to be named.
*Radio Disney Chat postponed*
Radio Disney won't be having the live chat with
Hanson until January 13. You can submit
questions by
going and clicking that link. Also, in the mean time
be sure to check out Radio Disney's Hanson Headquarters.
*Hanson
in Teen People*
Well, I, Rose, am a subscriber to Teen
People. So, I usually get the issue a few days before
it comes out on newstands. This is bad news though,
but I thought "what the heck? good or bad, it's
Hanson anyway." This came from the results of
their Readers' Poll. Just click here. It should explain everything.
*Year-End music video chart
positions*
"Weird" landed huge in year-end charts. It
was Total Request Live's #54 in their Top 100 for
MTV. It was #5 in YTV's Hitlist's Top 20 of '98,
along with "I Will Come To You" taking the
#14 spot (thanks Kara!). And finally, it made #19 on
MuchMusic's Top 95 of '98. "I Will Come To
You" was also on that chart.
*Radio
Disney Contest*
There is a current Radio Disney contest where you can
get music lessons from Hanson. Taylor will teach you
keyboards, Isaac the guitar and Zac the drums. You
would be flown to wherever the guys are, get a rental
car, a limo and an hour long tutorial. Plus, you get
to keep the instruments. Here's the catch -- you must
be 12 or under. Listen to Radio Disney now to find
out how to win.
*Hanson
in YM*
Hanson is named as 1 of the 50 most beautiful guys in
the latest issue of YM. Awesome! We all know they are
beautiful.
