Music Monday
The Drifters “This Magic Moment” is this weeks cover suggestion to Hanson
GAY SAVVY 106 – THE ONE WITH THAT GUY, FROM HANSON.
This week Michael James, Kat & Straight Michael return and we have an incredibly special guest. All the way from Tulsa in the US of A we play Michael’s interview with the one and only Taylor Hanson! We get a taste of some of their new music, have a chat about just how many children they all have and how a group of international teen heart throbs land themselves sane and rational wives. There’s talk about their gay fan base and a throw back all the way to Middle of Nowhere… Be sure to listen in for part one & two! Plus we have our usual “Educating the straight man” and “You know what I love?”. Our talking point this week is all about movies, those classic movies we love, with ridiculously obvious gay undertones, X-men, Lord Of the Rings and many more! Tune in and make sure to catch us online. @gaysavvy
You can stream the episode at the source. (Taylor’s part starts about 15 minutes in, part 2 is at 47:30)
Or catch the podcast on Itunes here!

Fan of the Month – June – Emily
Emily was nominated as our Fan of the Month by her friend Nikki!
Heres what Nikki had to say about her friend Emily
Why do you think they should be fan of the month:
She is really awesome! She’s wonderful at street teaming! I have witnessed her pulling out her phone and turning on Hanson for complete strangers to hear. She never lets an opportunity for spreading Hanson cheer whenever possible. She is a wonderful person and I am so glad to call her a friend!
Let us know about how you became friends:
We met through the Hanson app. We met in person at the Atlanta show and then car pooled together to the Cincy and Charlotte show!

Message From The Band
Summer is upon us, the weather is getting hotter and the urge to head to the water and test our skills at illogical sports is in full swing. Things like attempting to walk on water by strapping two boards to our feet while holding onto a rope that is attached to a moving speedboat… what a way to enjoy a little R&R! Music Made For Humans is now on the way or in the hands of H.net members all around the world, some of you got it in the mail, quite a few picked it up at HANSON Day 2014. This is an exciting time for us every year whether or not there is a new album we always get to share a new EP.
Believe it or not we are still recovering from HANSON Day and The Hop Jam, either on their own would have been a big undertaking, together they were massive, but well worth the effort. We feel like it turned out to be a great combination and as we plan for next year we are already thinking about how we can make both events better.
We are working away on the programming for the New Hanson.net. There is a lot to be excited about, some things you will never notice like making it easier to post a blog, but other things like higher resolution photos and videos everyone will be able to enjoy. We plan to launch the new site sometime in June, final launch date coming soon.
Isaac, Taylor and Zac

HANSON 2012 – No Sleep For Banditos – Tulsa OK
After five nights with no sleep you have a hard time telling music from madness.
Austin Mahone vs. Hanson: Which ‘MMM’ Song Do You Like Best?
We’re huge fans of both Austin Mahone and Hanson, so it didn’t take long for us to notice that both artists have hits with ‘MMM’ in the title — Austin with ‘MMM Yeah’ featuring Pitbull, and Hanson with their breakout smash ‘MMMBop.’ While the two songs are both classified as pop, they are drastically different. It’s a tough choice, but we have to ask: Which ‘MMM’ song do you like best?
Austin Mahone infuses ‘MMM Yeah’ with his signature urban flavor and an electronic beat that makes it impossible to not sing (or dance) along to. ‘MMM Yeah’ is downright addictive, showing off Austin’s smooth voice and Pitbull’s catchy rhymes, which help add a Latin flavor to the tune. When Austin sings on the chorus, Mahomies can’t help but swoon a little, imagining that he’s crooning about them. Melt!
Hanson came out with their infectious smash ‘MMMBop’ in May of 1997, and it helped propel brothers Isaac, Taylor and Zac to becoming worldwide sensations at the ages of just 17, 14, and 11, respectively. While the tune has an unbelievably catchy chorus and an upbeat, sunny vibe, the lyrics actually reveal a much deeper meaning about holding onto the true friends in your life. “You have so many relationships in this life, only one or two will last,” Taylor sings at the beginning of the song. “You go through all the pain and strife and you turn your back and they’re gone so fast.” In addition to Hanson’s version, which they still perform in concert today (just as they have been over the past 17 years), younger music fans might recall that the Vamps also covered the track, which you can listen to here.

Winner will receive the DVD “ANTHEM De:Constructed” which features live performances by Hanson of songs from ANTHEM.
Anyone can enter, as we will ship worldwide!
-You can submit as many photos as you would like, but will only receive a maximum of 4 entries into the contest
-Photos must be taken by you (or a friend in the case of a photo of you with Hanson)
-Hanson does not need to be present in the photo, but photos must be taken at a Hanson event (ie you and your friends outside the Hanson store in Tulsa, waiting outside a show for Hanson, your friends at the resort in Jamaica, being goofy at EPCOT before the Eat To The Beat concerts, etc!)
-Photos CAN be tagged as long as it is not obstructing the photo.
Note: Photos submitted from when photography was not permitted (ie. of the Hanson Gallery, Hanson at the lectures, Hanson concert at the Members Only event, etc) will not gain you an entry in the contest nor will they be posted. HopJam is fair game!
