He's got an mmmbaby! (sorry) Also - when did he become hot?

Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 21 November 2002 20:53 (twenty-three years ago)

He's on fire!! Dan Perry is covering him with salad dressing as we speak.

lawrence kansas (lawrence kansas), Thursday, 21 November 2002 21:02 (twenty-three years ago)

He's always been hot, Ally. He's just never been LEGAL before. I knew he was married. My Hanson-loving pal Catty cried when he got married. But he's, like, some kinda crazy religion where he HAD to get married before he was allowed to have sex. or maybe not. Important phrase: Jordan Ezra arrived five months after the couple got married so do the maths, and they're going to HELL!!!

kate, Thursday, 21 November 2002 21:08 (twenty-three years ago)

First Ally misses a Manics release then she proclaims a guy with long hair hot even though she's gone on record against such hairstyles (or was it just mine?). She really must be sick. ;-)

Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 21 November 2002 21:08 (twenty-three years ago)

Also, check the wife's age. What's the age of consent in ... what the hell weirdo state are they from? Utah or Oklahoma or something? (no offense to any residents of said weirdo states that might actually post here.)

kate, Thursday, 21 November 2002 21:10 (twenty-three years ago)

He hardly has long hair, he has SHAGGY hair! There's a difference, Ned!

Hanson is due for a muthafuckin comeback if you ask me. People in Utah and Oklahoma don't have computers so don't worry about that. You'd think people famous like Hanson wouldn't do shotgun weddings.

Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 21 November 2002 21:12 (twenty-three years ago)

He hardly has long hair, he has SHAGGY hair!

The wedding as it happened:

Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 21 November 2002 21:15 (twenty-three years ago)

It's very geometric and modern, that wedding.

Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 21 November 2002 21:16 (twenty-three years ago)

didnt david bowie put out their record? didnt american records also put on out.

i dig hanson.

always a secret shame!

doom-e, Thursday, 21 November 2002 21:18 (twenty-three years ago)

Hanson ROXORs. There is no secret, there is no shame. Mmm-Bop = one of the best bubblegum singles of all time, hands down, no question about it.

Shaggy hair = YUMMMMMM. Shaggy underage shotgun hair = DOUBLE yum.

kate, Thursday, 21 November 2002 21:21 (twenty-three years ago)

i saw yer photo in uncut - now would be the time to strike, kate. yer famous like HANSON!

doom-e, Thursday, 21 November 2002 21:25 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm holding out for Julian Casablancas, maaaan. All of IL* will be invited to our shotgun wedding.

kate, Thursday, 21 November 2002 21:33 (twenty-three years ago)

I remember trying to convince I think Tom Ewing to like Hanson back in the day. DAVID BOWIE put out their music? What the hell?

Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 21 November 2002 21:34 (twenty-three years ago)

I had a dream about the White Stripes last night. Meg's teeth were even worse in the dream than they are in person. Fucking scary. And then Jack and I went and did karaoke, duetting on "Sister Christian." We rocked.

Yancey (ystrickler), Thursday, 21 November 2002 21:41 (twenty-three years ago)

I remember trying to convince I think Tom Ewing to like Hanson back in the day.

He didn't like them because they were rockist bubblegum.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 21 November 2002 21:42 (twenty-three years ago)

Hanson/anti-Hanson "dialogue" nearly split our indie Blur-list (yes, I know that's an oxymoron, but you weren't on it) in two back in the day. Ironically enough, it was the recently turned indie teenybopper types who complained about us discussing them, and the actual old school indie types who defended them most staunchly.

Hanson = the bubblegum boyband it's OK to like?

Besides, they were cool and everything cause they Played. Their. Own. Instruments. Rockist bubblegum indeed, har har har har har.

kate, Thursday, 21 November 2002 21:45 (twenty-three years ago)

My mom fucking loves Hanson, them and Social Distortion are like her current favorite bands ever. But I think that "rockist bubblegum" thing is exactly why everyone on a.m.a would bust my balls over liking Hanson.

How could her teeth be worse, Yancey?

Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 21 November 2002 21:49 (twenty-three years ago)

It just amazes me that someone who can write a 2000 word dissertation on why Britney is ace can turn exactly those same arguments around to dislike Hanson. Or maybe it doesn't... If Hanson had been three (pre)pubescent blonde Mormon nyphets fronting Dust Bros produced rockistpop, they would be up on the ILM charts above Britney *and* MBV.

kate, Thursday, 21 November 2002 21:53 (twenty-three years ago)

http://www.infulltechnicolor.com/etc/julian.jpg vs. http://kangarooland.com/hanson/images/taylor_4.jpg


FITE!

(ps whether or not I like Britney - Kate you are so right)

Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 21 November 2002 21:56 (twenty-three years ago)

hanson were a garage rock band - face facts, much better than the swedish eurotrash flooding the english music market at the moment as well.

they had the songs, they had the looks, they were the indie-osmonds, and anybody who is anybody, knows that 'crazy horse' is the best.

hey kate, hahahaha, did you read the thread that my review was the lead review in the press pack for the band opening for the strokes? ooooo.....i could spot kate scoffing julian backstage.

Kate: no...yer band's rubbish, fuck off.
julian: duhh.....who ordered the bread?
ally: winona, will you stop following me around?
winona: i just wanted to *stammers and looks winsome and doe-eyed on the verge of tears*
ally: FUCK YOU STOLE MY STUFF BITCH...I DON'T NEED THIS.
winona: *looks winsome and runs off crying*
ally: tell me that bitch ain't got no money and julian FUCK OFF AS WELL.
*julian looks winsome and heads for his photo shoot subtitled 'is julian the new fat boy smith from the cure*

doom-e, Thursday, 21 November 2002 21:56 (twenty-three years ago)

That's actually probably the most 'I'm with stupid' look I've ever seen on Julian.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 21 November 2002 22:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Her teeth were practically bleeding. It was awful.

Yancey (ystrickler), Thursday, 21 November 2002 22:01 (twenty-three years ago)

::following events of weekend::

Julian starts fight with promoter of restaurant, gets both self and Kate kicked out, J&K retire to nearest Hilton for white russians and rough sex, both return to respective bands even more bruised up than before.

kate, Thursday, 21 November 2002 22:02 (twenty-three years ago)

Can Jules have rough sex? He looks the very definition of a dead fish to me.

Yancey (ystrickler), Thursday, 21 November 2002 22:04 (twenty-three years ago)

That is so disgusting, I don't even know what to say. Ugh, that's not a dream, it's a nightmare. Except for the Sister Christian bit, that's fantastic.

Why do I keep getting stuck with Winona in your plays, doom-e? I think you want to see me and Winona GET IT ON.

Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 21 November 2002 22:04 (twenty-three years ago)

Yes, Ally, Taylor is far more physically appealing. Oh, the blondeness. But bear with me, I'm working through some self loathing issues here. Some people PAY for this kind of therapy. I just work through it online.

It's been a long time since I saw a photo of Jules where he wasn't sporting a black eye, a capped knee or some other kind of injury. Does he just get the shit kicked out of him a lot, or does he have some kind of Monty Cliff fetish for REALLY rough trade?

kate, Thursday, 21 November 2002 22:06 (twenty-three years ago)

and ally flings in with winona being quiet and winsome following her into the hotel with kate and julian,

ally: KATE KATE GET THIS FUCKING MENTALIST AWAY FROM ME.

winona: but...but....i had my period in front of the cameras when i was fourteen....how fuck up is that, ally?

ally: FUCK!!! KATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

winona: does faux ingenue look against the wall holding her head, on the verge of tears.

ally: FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *swigs a bottle of jd from julians hotel room and knocks over television*

winona: *smiles and hops over to the bar and drinks* I drink too Ally1

ally: FUCK!!!

doom-e, Thursday, 21 November 2002 22:06 (twenty-three years ago)

UUUHhhhhh...not true......*looks around* *scurries out of room leaving winona, kate, julian and ally together*

DOOM-E, Thursday, 21 November 2002 22:07 (twenty-three years ago)

Hell, I think Doomie secretly *is* Winona, and SHE wants to get it on witchoo, Ally.

kate, Thursday, 21 November 2002 22:09 (twenty-three years ago)

doom-e: not true! not true.....ALLY IS FAMILY...ALLY IS FAMILY...DO YOU WANT THE ALLY TALK, KATE??

doom-e, Thursday, 21 November 2002 22:12 (twenty-three years ago)

(based on infamous Bono talk....)

DOOM-E, Thursday, 21 November 2002 22:13 (twenty-three years ago)

do you guys want to see the first manuscript of Catcher in the Rye?

DOOM-E, Thursday, 21 November 2002 22:14 (twenty-three years ago)

Why... why... WHY...

http://www.infulltechnicolor.com/etc/fuckme.jpg

Did they crop the ASS out of this picture? Nicole, do you believe me now? He has magical helper monkeys, which, whenever he knows someone is about to take a picture of his ASS, leap out, and move the camera slightly, or place potted CACTII in front of it, to disguise or hide the size of his ass. I mean, that thing is HUGE. How can you aim a camera at the man and not get his ass in it?

kate, Thursday, 21 November 2002 22:17 (twenty-three years ago)

I've never noticed this phenomenon but by george I think you are right.

Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 21 November 2002 22:21 (twenty-three years ago)

What about Zac and Issac?

Are they still in The Hansons?

jel -- (jel), Thursday, 21 November 2002 22:21 (twenty-three years ago)

They must be pissed that they started a scene and don't get any cred for it.

jel -- (jel), Thursday, 21 November 2002 22:22 (twenty-three years ago)

::puts on squeaky, hormonally frustrated voice::

Where is the ass? It's not enough... it makes the world go round and round and round and round ::squeak::

You could hear the sexual frustration, just dripping out of his voice in that song. 15 year old pop idol, surrounded by girls gagging for it that he couldn't touch. He'd have to get married or he'd go nuts.

What's this Bono talk, Doomie? Is that a Simpsons reference? I've just spent three days in a van with two Simpsons fanatics and I can't take any more. If you want that Garbage Commissioner job, you've got it. Take it. Just no more Simpsons and NO MORE WINONA.

kate, Thursday, 21 November 2002 22:26 (twenty-three years ago)

What about Zac and Issac?

They're not hot, so we don't care about them. We only care about hot men like Taylor and, um, Julian Casablancas I guess.

One time I was stuck sitting with a pot head who kept going, "WONDERS, LISA? OR BLUNDERS! HAHAHAHA!" over and over again as his response to any question. i will never watch the Simpsons again because of this.

Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 21 November 2002 22:38 (twenty-three years ago)

(The Winona thing is killing me, I must admit.)

Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 21 November 2002 22:39 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh gawd, Hanson wars from highcool? I hate Hanson for my own personal reason, don't make me post a picture of my high school id when I had long straight blond hair. That and their names, they must change their names.

Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Thursday, 21 November 2002 22:41 (twenty-three years ago)

You were too cool for... cool. Um.

Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 21 November 2002 22:43 (twenty-three years ago)

No I looked like an idiot, I just didnt want to get a hair cut, I had some temporary phobia about hairdressers, so my hair grew. Then along comes Hanson, the bastards.

Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Thursday, 21 November 2002 22:45 (twenty-three years ago)

There is a town on the M1 called MATLOCK. If you had to hear your drummer and your soundman yell MAAAAAATLOCCCCCKKK!!! every time you went past it (and do you know how many times you will drive up and down the M1 while touring the UK?) you would be sick of the Simpsons again.

Which one is the older one that plays guitar? Ike, I think? My friend Catty has a crush on him. Her logic was that he would be legal first. You can't argue with that.

You know, I'm really digging this Hanson = precursor of Strokes theory. Rockist Bubblegum. I mean, they've both got equal amounts of fan fiction about them on the net. Except Hanson had better tunes and, well, with the exception of Jules, better hair (though Jules should really give his hair back to Bobby Gillespie, I hear he's looking for it).

Just help me out with my theory here, Hanson are to the Monkees what The Strokes are to ... who? The Bay City Rollers? Help me out here.

(BTW, I see there's Julian Casablancas Club. Should I join? ::cracks knuckles::)

kate, Thursday, 21 November 2002 22:45 (twenty-three years ago)

You know I read this wrong. I thought it was Jules my BUTT cookie @ yahoogroups:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jules_mybuttercookie/

Now THAT is a group I would join...

kate, Thursday, 21 November 2002 22:48 (twenty-three years ago)

The Bay City Rollers are as good as any other band, tho I don't know if I think Monkees:Hanson are circular references.

I do like that hairdo that Jules sports, I have decided I like that but still the rest of him.

Dan, the frightening thing about the WInona thing is that, without having met me, doom-e has gotten down my pissed off cadences perfectly.

Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 21 November 2002 22:59 (twenty-three years ago)

I agree, Ally. He is shit, his band is shit, his ass is the monster that ate New York, but he has perfect Dirty Rock Boy hair.

God, I'm so programmed. It's pathetic. Go take the test and find out who your perfect strokes lover is!

It's really scary reading this yahoogroup, the band or the boy fronting it really doesn't matter, teenage girls all over the world are exactly the same, and that's what I find so fascinating.

Hanson:Monkees is not perfect, no, because the Monkees were prefab in a way that Hanson weren't, being brothers and all. Hanson:Jackson 5, maybe? They've got the crazy religious background, sure... But that makes the Strokes who, then?

kate, Thursday, 21 November 2002 23:05 (twenty-three years ago)

The Strokes are Sly and the Family Stone, obviously. Or perhaps Sir Mix-a-lot. I'm still laughing over the ass that ate New York.

Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 21 November 2002 23:10 (twenty-three years ago)

Jules stole my hair (which I stole from Gram Parsons. Sshh!)!

Yancey (ystrickler), Thursday, 21 November 2002 23:10 (twenty-three years ago)

Ssshhh, Yancey, you know about my Gram Parsons thing (and my Sweetheart of the Rodeo CD was one of the ones that got left at the promoter's house) and I'd have a crush on you but alas, alack, you don't LIKE fat girls, and I have the ASS THAT ATE NEW YORK!!!

kate, Thursday, 21 November 2002 23:13 (twenty-three years ago)

No, wait, sorry, I forgot that it was proven by science that my ass was smaller than Joolz, despite my best white russian drinking efforts, because I exert more energy onstage. So there. Or, erm, something.

kate, Thursday, 21 November 2002 23:17 (twenty-three years ago)

You don't have the ass that ate New York. That's Jules. Everyone on ILE already knows my ass wins the contest anyway. Yancey's hair is much better than Jules's hair anyway.

Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 21 November 2002 23:26 (twenty-three years ago)

or what about Hanson = The Osmonds?

Brothers, with crazy religion backing, with great pop and some semi rocking moments?

jellybean (jellybean), Thursday, 21 November 2002 23:42 (twenty-three years ago)

Jellybean, you are CLOSE BUT NO CIGAR due to absence of creepy semi-incestuous relationship with sister.

Hang on! There we go... Hanson = Jackson 5, Strokes = Monkees, White Stripes = Osmonds!

Our rockist bubblegum dilemma solved.

kate, Thursday, 21 November 2002 23:50 (twenty-three years ago)

Zac's not so bad looking, really, but he needs to cut that hair once and for all. Thinks he's Claudia Schiffer, jeez....

http://www.ciudadfutura.com/hanson/zac/zac.jpg

Arthur (Arthur), Friday, 22 November 2002 00:21 (twenty-three years ago)

See, THAT is long hair. Taylor's hair is not long.

Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 22 November 2002 00:24 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh. My. God.

When did HE grow up?

::kate's head explodes with paedophilic lesbian lust::

kate, Friday, 22 November 2002 00:28 (twenty-three years ago)

Zac looks exactly like Erika Christensen.

Nicole (Nicole), Friday, 22 November 2002 03:26 (twenty-three years ago)

Doesn't anyone have pictures of the other one? He's like my age, I think I should go after him.

Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 22 November 2002 03:39 (twenty-three years ago)

Do you mean Isaac?

Nicole (Nicole), Friday, 22 November 2002 03:45 (twenty-three years ago)

Right. That's the man I shall marry.

Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 22 November 2002 03:59 (twenty-three years ago)

Hey guys - thanks for noticing that i've got the cadence of a pissed ally, right. yer in the novel.....and yer rock'n'roll. i sort of got the phrasing of yer words just right.

went out to a club last night and met a vice writer - who is from HAMILTON! she told me that i should submit stuff to vice magazine...

should i?

or do you think they collect mad canadians????

doom-e, Friday, 22 November 2002 09:57 (twenty-three years ago)

(this is the best thread EVER. i am in tears of mirth!)

katie (katie), Friday, 22 November 2002 13:58 (twenty-three years ago)

(especially about MAAAAAATLOCK!!! Kate, the rhythm section from our band do that too!)

katie (katie), Friday, 22 November 2002 13:59 (twenty-three years ago)

Katie, you ARE the rhythm section.

Do you try to stop at all the Roadchefs with the funny names, so everyone can walk around saying "TIBSHELF!!!" Tiiiiiib-SHELF!" in funny voices and stuff?

kate, Friday, 22 November 2002 14:17 (twenty-three years ago)

(damn i was hoping no-one would notice. i'm only HALF the rhythm section you know!!) we don't deliberately stop in funny places (although we stopped at the first Scottish services we came to on the way to Glasgow so we cd take pictures of ourselves jumping about yelping "we're in Scotland!!" god how sad) but i always try and be the navigator as i love reading maps. the best place we've gone past (apart from Matlock obv) is Pity Me, just south of Newcastle. i also used to think that Knutsford was HILARIOUS and used to sing "Knutsford City Limits" everytime we passed it, until someone pointed out that The Devil Robbie Williams has a song called that. curses.

katie (katie), Friday, 22 November 2002 14:22 (twenty-three years ago)

Jane wrote a whole song about silly places we passed in the tourvan. (I think it mentions Tom's birthplace in it, strangely enough...) And it ended up on a tour single, so there you go. What's great is we found out we mispronounced about half of them.

I'm excited, this weekend we get to drive past the River YO! again. (I know it's not spelled like that, but still, we get a kick out of saying it.)

The stupidest place we've taken tour photographs was probably the East Kilbride World Of Leather, coz of, like JAMC references.

kate, Friday, 22 November 2002 14:27 (twenty-three years ago)

one year passes...
I forgot I actually knew that Taylor Hanson was married with children?? Weird. What are Hanson doing now?

Allyzay, Thursday, 18 December 2003 15:18 (twenty-two years ago)

I somehow read almost this entire thread before I realized it was written OVER A YEAR AGO. I think I lost brain cells last night.

The middle Hanson was always the cutest. I feel kind of bad for the oldest one.

Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 18 December 2003 15:30 (twenty-two years ago)

why did I say Dan P was covering him with salad dressing? I think I have problems.

lawrence kansas (lawrence kansas), Thursday, 18 December 2003 15:31 (twenty-two years ago)

The youngest one probably still needs a healthy dose of ritalin.

Aaron W (Aaron W), Thursday, 18 December 2003 15:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Ally, they spent the year honing their new snoozy folk sound. This is not the direction I wanted them to go in. I'm bummed. But I'll never give up on them, never!

http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1476912/08142003/hanson.jhtml

This was a great thread.

Arthur (Arthur), Thursday, 18 December 2003 17:16 (twenty-two years ago)

why did I say Dan P was covering him with salad dressing? I think I have problems.

green godess?

Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 18 December 2003 17:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Folk sound?? :(

Allyzay, Thursday, 18 December 2003 17:26 (twenty-two years ago)

It is NOT a folk sound! Underneath Acoustic is ace. It's just an acoustic EP. But it's got some beeyootiful pop choons on it. They were at the fucking Islington Academy in October and I just found this out YESTERDAY. This is the first album I haven't seen them tour since they got off the state fair circuit.
grrrr. argh.

Catty (Catty), Friday, 19 December 2003 11:27 (twenty-two years ago)

And Ike had a nasty blood clot last month and was hospitalised. Verdict: he plays guitar too much.

< Insert YOUR nasty euphonism here. >

Catty (Catty), Friday, 19 December 2003 11:28 (twenty-two years ago)

He's on Friendster!

Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 19 December 2003 11:31 (twenty-two years ago)

shut UP. Is he? Maybe he can be my new friend! I've been in the market for one.

Catty (Catty), Friday, 19 December 2003 11:38 (twenty-two years ago)

This thread is a thing of beauty. Maybe I should go on the internet drunk more often... (just kidding! just kidding!)

MAAAAATT-LOOOCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKK!!!

HRH Queen Kate (kate), Friday, 19 December 2003 11:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Catty - seriously, he is! He's, like, one step away from me as well.

I would add him to my list, but it seems kinda lame.

Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 19 December 2003 12:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Add me to your list! Can we be friends? Peas oh peas?!?

Catty (Catty), Friday, 19 December 2003 12:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Corblimey you're only one step from me as well! And therefore in Taylor's personal network without realising it.

Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 19 December 2003 16:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, I was just looking at all the people in your network and was kind of disturbed by how all these people are like, the same people. The world is a really small place.

Catty (Catty), Friday, 19 December 2003 16:57 (twenty-two years ago)

three years pass...
This is STILL the best thread on ILX, ever.

Hanson = rockist bubblegum = proto-Busted and I was so right about how ILM would respond to that.

MAAAAAAAAT-LLLOOOOOOOOCCCCCKKKKKKK!!!
