Those of you who know me know that I LOVE Hanson. Yes, Hanson, that band from '97 who sang "Mmmbop." For those of you who didn't know, YES they're still around, NO they are not still 14, and YES they've been making music ever since their first album. They are about to release their 5th CD (if you don't count their first 2 that were independently released, or their Christmas CD, Snowed In) in June. It's called Shout It Out! and the single "Think Bout Something" is already on iTunes! (The picture to the left is of me and Mr. Zac Hanson in October of 2007, the first time I met him. They're PRECIOUS in person and completely personable and very passionate about their cause. They're very active in trying to help to fight poverty and AIDS in Africa. They do a charity walk before every concert with their fans and donate a dollar per person on the walk to AIDS research, and are all also about TOMS Shoes, as well as having traveled to Africa to help with "shoe-drops," etc.) 
I'm super excited because the boys just unveiled their newest music video on Myspace for "Thinking Bout Something" and it is HAH-LARIOUS! It's already almost gotten about a million hits and it's only been out a few days. This video was really special. Besides going all out and being goofy and adorable in the video, the boys also invited fans to come be a part of the video. They filmed it in Tulsa on March 6th (I was in a wedding that day, or I would have been there, too) and asked fans to come and dance with them. As I watched I could see Hanson friends I knew in there dancing!! It was really special!Entertainment Weekly does a segment in their magazine every week called The Must List and they list the top 10 musts of that week like which DVDs to check out, what books are hot, what online fiasco is interesting. I SEVERELY desire EW to add the "Thinking Bout Something" video to their Must list! I truly this it deserves it.
And with that, here's the link: CHECK IT OUT HERE!!! or ON YOUTUBE!!!
And here are a few snippets of a conversation my best friend and I had in reaction the video. Enjoy!
Me: Did you get to see the new Hanson video yet!?!?
Ashlie: The video hasn't even really started and I'm already laughing.
Ashlie: Um....I'm 30 seconds in and it's already the best Hanson video ever.
Me: I know I was ALL ABOUT that video in the first 7 seconds! That's the video we could have been in if you hadn't had a wedding. Gah, selfish.
Ashlie: OMG JESUS-ISAAC
Me: I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY THAT! BAHAHAHA!
Me: I like how Tay thought he was Stevie Wonder.
Ashlie: Haha! I KNOW
Me: This is the best video they've EVER done. It's like they finally realized they were a band.
Ashlie: Yeah, it was so good. It seemed like it was produced better too.
Me: Totally! And there were 2 ZACS!!
Me: I like how the climax is Taylor actually dancing.
Ashlie: It's like he knows we've been waiting for it the whole video and he graces us with his moves for the finale. The Great One has danced! We can all praise him!
I don't have a very wide list of things I love unconditional no matter what they put out into the world, but Hanson is #1 on that list. Always. One day I will ve rel3vent to a blog and make it in there.
ReplyDeleteWow. I should not try and answer the phone while typing a comment up. Sorry about that.
ReplyDeleteTaylor is acting like Ray Charles, not Stevie Wonder...
ReplyDeleteWell I think you could say either, as both played the piano and are blind. And it's just me and my friend playing around, so I didn't stop for fact-check time.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great blog about Hanson's current events!
ReplyDeleteI must say I am very torn as to where I want to see Hanson go. I mean, as a fan and street team member who supports the boys no matter what and wants to see their success skyrocket, I would LOVE to have them super-publicized and become respected again within popculture. But the selfish part of me wants Hanson to remain known only to their most diehard fans who know not to come to shows any more with signs that say 'Marry me, Zac!!' I suppose I fear getting shoved to the back of the crowd by a bunch of Jonas-fan bandwagoners (Not that I don't adore the JoBros, as well).
As a longtime Hanson fan, what's your opinion? :)
Katey - Firstly, thanks!
ReplyDeleteI totally understand and partially agree that it is scary to imagine Hanson getting to the popularity they once had. Selfishly, I am with you. I would rather them stay the way they are so they can continue to do walks with their fans and be personable without fear of being form-tackled by their nutzo crazy fans, like the JoBros. But at the same time, realistically, I doubt they'd ever re-reach that level of fame. If they ever did gain more publicity, I think it would be a nice medium between where they were in '97 and where they are now. I think it would be comfortable and help their success and also help them reach a new audience with their message of "take the walk." It may not be such a bad thing for them to gain some fame for that reason alone! So I guess I'll take a step back, and try not to be too territorial, haha. Though it will be hard. Hopefully we can all get one more walk in with the boys before it gets too nut, if it ever does. <3
